Cornell & Diehl Derringer
(2.92)
Simple yet unique, heady yet versatile, elegant but still packing a whollop, we think you'll find this killer Virginia blend much as the settlers of the Old West found its namesake. Presented as a ready rubbed so it's quick to pack and smooth on the draw.

VERY underrated. I dont understand how this is not talked about more. This is an amazing virginia blend. So many different flavors. All the classic light virginia sweetness, citrus and hay flavors but has the deeper bready flavors of a darker aged virginia as well. I also really enjoy the cut of this. It is a very wide cut broken flake that I have just been packing straight without rubbing out and it burns fantastic. Burns slow and smokes cool and dry. My tin was two years old when I smoked it. I plan on trying some fresh if I can and I will def be aging several tins. I feel like this could also scratch the itch of anyone missing their Mcclelland virginias. Dont get me wrong it is not a replacement but it does remind me of Mcclelland at certain times during the smoke.

I grabbed this one during a sale on C&D bulk tobaccos. I wanted to try as many of their offerings that sounded appealing, and this one fit the bill. The pouch aroma suggests black tea leaves and some sweet grassiness. This ready rubbed preparation appears to be a blend of around 75% red Virginia and 25% bright leaf. It takes a light easily and is a fairly straightforward VA, not a lot of complexity here. There are some attractive tangy notes early on. This is not a particularly sweet smoke, and is quite rough around the edges. It absolutely will bite if one’s cadence is not judicious. Some black pepper is notable towards the bottom of the bowl. I tried this in a churchwarden and alas the mouthfeel was still quite rough.
