Cornell & Diehl Warped: Until The End

So here we are at the end of the series. The tin art on this tin is really cool, and I know they say to not judge a book by its cover, but I'd buy it for looks alone. When I opened my tin I found semi-broken flakes mostly dark brown in color. When I open my jar back up I smell a fudge brownie mixed with an oatmeal raisin cookie. The Burley is very nutty and chocolatey, the cigar leaf adds earthiness, while black Cavendish adds some toastiness and sweetness. Packs and lights fairly well.

When I have my pipe lit I notice right away that this is a very mellow blend. Nothing in here is going to knock you over. The Kentucky is not as barbecue-y as it normally is, but it's more nutty, chocolaty, earthy, and adds a lot of body. The next thing I notice is the cigar leaf adding floral notes, as well as earth, leather and creaminess. The Virginias add some breadiness and sweetness. Finally the Cavendish unflavored and is very toasty, and adds a nice uplift.

The taste is a medium. Nothing here will try to overwhelm your palate. The strength is a medium. Nothing to strong. All that being said I would classify this as an after dinner smoke. The room note is typical of a Burley blend so cigarettishness is an adjective I would use. It's an interesting take on a blend, but in my humble opinion not one I'm fond of, which is surprising for my usual delight in any Burley blend.
