What are sitting there reading this review for? Head on over to Cornellanddiehl.com and buy a tin of this stuff! I tried this out a year ago and it's become one of my all-time favorites. The first few smokes weren't anything to write home about, but around the 3rd bowl of it, i was hooked. The moment it meets my senses I'm walking through the maple forests of Vermont on a cool fall afternoon, bundled up in my flannel and testing the drips in the trees. I like tobaccos that take you somewhere. This one freakin' teleports you immediately to your fondest memory of an "Autumn Evening". If you like aromatics, you'll love this one. Give it time. Finish the tin. I guarantee you'll be back for more. It's just a matter of time........

I needed a good aromatic while visiting my Dad and his wife. This did the trick. Recommended by a pipe shop in Carmel, CA, you could immediatley detect the maple casing when you opened the tin, which eventually ended up in my step-mother's hands as an aromatherapy device. It has an admirable aroma, but the casing is sometimes overpowering and can get a little boring. Also, it is not the cleanest smoke on the market. Very decent for an aromatic.

The maple flavoring came through in just the right amount for me. I really enjoyed this. I have to recommend a long stemmed pipe such as a churchwarden. This will help reduce the tongue bite that is so common with the aromatic tobaccos.

Its ok. I'm not getting the maple taste that everyone else seems to be getting. In fact, I found it pretty tasteless regardless of what I smoked it in; briar, cob, or meerschaum. The tin note is good, but without the taste coming through for me, I see no reason to smoke this. However, I'll give this 2 stars since everyone seems to really like it and of course you can judge for yourself.

If one could eat tobacco, this would be the dessert. Delicious maple brown sugar odor wafts up from a freshly opened tin. One of these days I am going to actually taste it. Great for a party or when in mixed company. Now I know why Hef smoked Mixture 79!! Women love this blend. Autumn Evening is in a league of its own when compared with other similar aromatics. I like it a couple of times a month when my sweet tooth gets the best of me. Good quality leaf and the sweetest room note possible.

I enjoy an occasional aromatic, but was very disappointed with this tobacco. When you open the tin, the smell of maple is overwhelming to say the least. It packs and smokes well, but has way to much casing, and bites very easily. The positive though, is that this tobacco has the best room note I've ever smelled. Although YOU probably won't enjoy this smoke, at least everyone around you will.

When i opened this tin the smell was really overwelming, so sweet i wanted to eat the tobacco:) The truth is that this is my favorite aromatic. The taste is very nice, burns smoothly with no tongue bite at all, and after the bowl my mouth isn't smelling and tasting like asshes, but instead it tastes like caramel!! My girlfriend loves the smell also, so i can smoke it near her! Really love it. Thanks Cornell & Diehl:D

This is no doubt one of the finest aromactic's available. My taste mostly takes me down the lux. English blend line, but after a recommendation from a gentleman at the local B&M, I gave this ago, and boy I'm glad I did. The quality of the leaf is superb, packs well, burns well, and delivers a rich wanderful smoke that turns everyones head. I found 0 tongue bite and the maple to taste to be just right. I will no doubt have many tins of this packed away for that every once in awhile change up from my everyday. Another fine job by C&D!!!!

This is my current favorite while listening to a chapter of a audiobook before retiring for the evening. The smell in th ecan reminds me of a visit to a real NH Sugar Shack and enjoying leather aprons, a candy made by taking a ladle of hot syrup from the boil throwing out the window into a pile of snow. Getting a good light takes three or four attempts but once lit I tend to smoke the entire bowl to the bottom without tamping or relighting. More out of forgetfulness than anything else. I just cose my eyes listen to my book and puff and relax.

I really like this stuff. It's maple flavor has mellowed over the year I've had it, and it's now perfect in my opinion. Hell, when I first smoked it new it was like smoking a stack of pancakes. As you go along, the tobacco strengthens and becomes a little spicy, which I think is both groovy AND nifty, perhaps even swell. Pipe tobacco names can be quite funny. I don't know what this has to do with Autumn or evening, I'm going to buy some more. You should try it.

I just got back into pipe smoking after a three year break. I have been smoking some lower end bulk tobaccos from a local shop. I stopped in the other day figured I would pick up something in a tin, I have read so many good reviews about AE. I got home popped open the tin and was very pleased, I did let it dry about 15min before packing it. It lit very easy and, stayed lit. Some wetness in the bottom of the bowl but, not to bad. Very pleasant taste and, room note. This is one that I will keep around.

A cigar smoker of many years, this is the first pipe tobacco I ever smoked based on the recommendation of the gentlemen of BadgerAndBlade.com. I found it to be pleasant, although not nearly as flavorful and sweet as I expected.

The description and reviews caused me to venture for a tin of Autumn Evening. When I first received it I opened the tin and immediately wanted to take a bite of it. It smelled that good. The tobacco packs well and stays lit fairly well, but I had to relight twice after the first 2/3 of the bowl. The maple flavoring is more noticeable in the first half of the bowl, though I may have smoked it a little hot the last half. This is consistent after several bowls. Not a goopy aromatic, per se, but not completely clean, either. The first 2 bowls I smoked in a cob. I finished the tin in a basket briar that smokes well. My wife is my room note expert, and she enjoyed it. She kept saying it smelled like something to smoke at breakfast time. It's not joining my regular rotation, but I am cellaring 3 tins for future enjoyment. It would be a tin I might grab to go on a trip or vacation just to have something different to enjoy. A fine blend.

This was the last aromatic I bought before venturing into English blends. I was somewhat disappointed by it, but I keep it on hand when I want something different. It's a very mild tobacco and it smells pretty good while burning. I've found that it doesn't bite if care is taken with it. I like smoking this blend out of a cob pipe for a couple of reasons: I find that I don't usually smoke an entire bowl of it, and more importantly it leaves a VERY STRONG ghost. You should be aware of this. my experience is that it takes two or three bowls to get rid of the ghosting. Other than that, it is what it is: a nice mild blend that's best enjoyed in moderation.

I love this stuff, sometimes I just like to open the jar and smell it and then smoke something else. I think it is one of the better aromatics out there. I have to exhale through my nose in order to taste it at times, but it is spectacular when I haven't been smoking much, this way I can really catch the flavor. This blend for me will always bring back memories of smoking in my college apartment during the fall with the sliding glass door open! It intermingles so well with those fall smells of leaves, smoke coming from peoples chimneys in the air, and of coarse pumpkin spice candles that some girl brought into the bachelor pad, haha! It is quite the mild blend and the toping is not to wet which I like, unfortunately it doesn't smoke quite as good as it smells, but it is tasty none the less!

I have tried and tried and tried to get along with this tobacco. I enjoy the flavor so much, I emailed C&D and asked them if they would put this casing on something different. The VA in this bites the bejesus out of my tongue. I have even came back to it after drying it for 2 year in the tin, and it still bites me. Also, it leaves a bit of undesired slop in the bottom of the bowl. If you can handle this tobacco, by all means give it a go!

I had a tin of this sitting around for about a year, so I thought I would finally give it a try. When I opened the tin, it revealed loose, coarse cut tobacco that had brown and black tones with hues reminiscent of chocolate. Even before I could see this blend, I could smell it when I popped the top. All things that can be coated deliciously with maple syrup came to mind. My mind bounced between French toast, pancakes, and maple cured bacon as I took in the scent. The tobacco was slightly moist to the touch as I packed the bowl, and an unlit sip of the pipe tasted of light maple syrup. As a matter of fact, that is all I got from this blend, a light maple syrup flavor from the charring light to the bottom of the bowl. The finish was long on this blend, and my taste buds felt like I had just eaten French toast and maple syrup for up to an hour after smoking. I actually had the urge to wash my beard, as if it had syrup stuck in the whiskers. This blend did leave a goopy mess in the bottom of a couple of my briars, but overall it generally left clean ash. The room note was a pleasant maple aroma that had toasty undertones. Overall, I like Autumn Evening. It is a good mild smoke, with a very mild casing that is pleasing to my taste buds. This will not make it into my regular rotation, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at another tin.

Tasted great, smelled wonderful, but gave me a terrible, very strange form of tongue bite. I think I might actually be allergic to whatever is produced when this tobacco burns. My lip split open on the inside in several places and I got irritated and/or bubbling portions of the inside of my mouth. My advice, if you feel a pin- prick sensation when smoking, throw out the bowl and wait a day. If your mouth feels fine then maybe try again. The pin prick sensation seems to precede my last two bad tongue bite cases.

This was a nice blend. I'm relatively new to pipe tobacco and come from this as a former cigarette smoker and longtime cigar smoker. I like the blend and so far, in my limited experience, this is one of the few blends that truly tastes like it smells. That said, it's true to it's description and very maple flavored. At first, coming from a background of natural tobaccos it was a bit overpowering to have to the tobacco flavored like something else. The maple was very strong but it grew on me. My wife, who is very used to my cigars and natural tobaccos, didn't like the whole room "smelling like pancakes." She actually prefers the room note of a non- aromatic blend. For the most part, so do I. I don't want to rate this too low because I did enjoy it for it was. I'm just finding that aromatics, as a whole, aren't my thing. There are some exceptions but this one was just too flavored for me. If you like maple, and you have non-smokers who don't appreciate full-strength room notes, this is an excellent blend. It burned cleanly to a fine grey ash and didn't leave anything in the bottom of my pipe. So it's recommended with the above caveats.

Ahh im not crazy about. It tastes very close to Captain black. It has a slight maple taste but no toabcco taste its to mild in a way. If your a new pipe smoker you would like this. If you want a better maple aromatic with more of a tobacco taste and natural maple insted of an artifical one i would try sutliff privte stocks maple street i give that a 4/4
