Cornell & Diehl Vieux Carré
(3.00)
Whether you're visiting Jackson Square or walking down colorful Bourbon Street, the charm of old New Orleans is all around you, in Vieux Carre.
Commonly known as the French Quarter, it is the oldest district in New Orleans, as well as the inspiration behind this Cellar Series blend, first introduced in July, 2016 — a traditional English tobacco with a flavor every bit as complex as the Quarter's own diverse atmosphere.

I've decided to review to cellar series blends from C&D upon purchase (or thereabout) and after the recommended amount of aging to see the changes. I intend to update the review after that period of time has elapsed.
Now:
Tin note of peat, reminds me of Joie de Vivre. Over time (days of being opened) becomes lighter, more fruity.
The taste is earthy, woody. I don't detect flavoring at this age, really. I got a chocolate note late in the bowl, occasionally. Not complex, but shines in its simplicity.

Stay tuned.
