Cornell & Diehl - Bradyville.
Supplied in a pouch, from bulk.
Quite a well rubbed ribbon, medium brown, and the moisture's just right. The main feature of the pouch-note is the brandy.
The smoke carries a definite aromatic character. If I'm honest the brandy doesn't come over as sweet, or flavoursome, as is often the case. From the brandy the bitterness of the alcohol beats any sweetness. The tobaccos have a pleasant enough flavour, though: a sweet brown Cavendish highlighted with rusticity from the Burley and some Virginia fruit. Brown Cavendish, NOT black as per description. If it isn't approached with care Brady' can burn fast and warm. But, it doesn't bite.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.
Bradyville? It's not a rubbish smoke, I've had worse, but it lacks the assets to raise the result from two stars:
Somewhat recommended.

Cut: Fine Ribbon Tin Note: Strong armoa of Brandy Moisture: A bit moist, but smokeable directly out of the tin
At first light, I found a lot of sweetness between the brandy and the tobaccos. The Burley gives it some body. This is not a black cavendish - but a browner leaf. I don't get too much of the chocolate/cocoa as noted in the TR description. A much more fruity & alcohol flavoring. I could imagine, however, a batch to batch or even a tin to tin difference, as is my personal experience with C&D.
The tobacco needs to be sipped, and treated carefully or it will burn extremely hot. I did not experience any bite.

I picked up this blend bulk I believe well over a year ago. Finally got around to smoking it recently and it's a delightful smoke. The cognac offers a sweet and flavorful element of the smoke and also is quite fruity at times. I almost get a light creamy strawberry flavor and almost like caramel in a way. Burns beautifully and the flavor lasts for nearly the entire time. It is not a goopy aromatic but it's still got more moisture than most C&D blends. I've only smoked it in cobs and wouldn't want to have it any other way.
