Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath

This is the best blend I’ve tried from C&D and I’m a fan of a lot of their blends. Hats off to Jeremy Reeves for producing such a fine blend and to make it a Plug just gives them more props in my book. This is a full flavored blend with some nice top dressings, some say they taste berries but I don’t. This has a lot of similarities to GL Pease’s Temple Bar but there is a bit more going on in DoK which, because of the complexity, I prefer this to TB but there is definitely room for both in my cellar. This is a stout blend and it packs a punch so nicotine lightweights may want to try it in a small bowl first. Several bowls in one pipe will leave a slight residual flavor (ghost) but nothing bothersome enough to dedicate a briar solely to this blend, however if you do, the pipe will continue to season and give you more flavors with time, for this reason, I have dedicated a few briars to this Plug. This will absolutely be sublime with some age on it, I’ve put several tins away to ferment in my cellar and I have several for my present enjoyment. Wonderful room note and great after taste that will stay with you for awhile. I’m really excited about C&D these days, they’ve really been making some instant classics lately and I’m always looking forward to see (taste) what they’ll be putting out next.

Absolutely essential!!!
