Cornell & Diehl Anthology 1992-2022

(3.78)
An expertly crafted, commemorative mixture, Anthology 1992-2022 is the culmination of 30 years of evolution and expertise, showcasing the interest, passions, and themes of Cornell & Diehl over those years. Elevated by many of C&D's favorite components — including the iconic SM2-18 and TA-20 Carolina Red Virginias, 2003 Bijou Virginias, top-tier Canadian Brights, as well as genuine St. James Parish Perique — this special-edition mixture highlights the blending house's unique approach to the Virginia/Perique family, delivering a naturally sweet, bready profile with notes of zesty citrus, rich stone fruits, and figgy spice.
Notes: Anthology 1992-2022 is a glowing testament to the synergistic working relationship that C&D has cultivated with farmers and tobacco merchants over the years, especially with a single Perique farmer in St. James Parish, Louisiana — illustrating the benefits of growing, harvesting, and processing authentic Perique according to precise, time-honored methods.

My goodness this is good tobacco. A solid VAPer that is worth getting your hands on if you can find it! I’m enjoying tin 1 of 2 and somewhat regret not getting more to age. So smooth and flavorful. Makes thick smoke that smells divine. Rich sweet earthy flavors of Virginia leaf complimented by the hint of spicy Perique. Fabulous stuff.

Four star medium flavored Virginia/Perique. Equal portions of sweet and savory, with a big Perique punch weaving itself throughout the smoke. Lots of wonderful earthiness in these VAs. I find this Perique very peppery, opposed to the people reviewing it as fruity.

While the taste is medium, the smoke has a full bodied aroma. Nic hit is medium to strong. Long lingering after-taste of delicious earth and sweetness. Stellar all day blend from Jeremy Reeves for Perique addicts. I wish this one could stay in production.

Update: I don't have words to describe how good this VaPer is. Virginias are so sweet and rich, the Perique is what I imagine traditional Perique to be. I am glad I got to experience this blend. Not an all-day smoke due to its spiciness, but definitely repeatable. While the urge is strong to buy more tins, I'm going to leave them for others to experience this great VaPer.

Получил посылку, пол часа назад, и сразу вскрыл первую банку.

Запах из банки сильно напоминает сыр с плесенью Brie, немного дрожжей и чуть чуть горький шоколад. Флейк рыхлый, такое впечатление, что недостаточно спрессован. Влажность - самое то, сразу в трубку.

В первой трети очень чувствуется перик. Табак острый и заметно щиплет язык.Запах насыщенный, хлебный и проскакивает привкус плесени из сыра, но не так сильно, как из банки. Крепость на 6.5 из 10.

Во второй трети перик практически уходит, оставаясь как воспоминание на грани. появляется больше сладости. Вкус становится более гладким, без выраженных оттенков. Табак горит медленно, равномерно, но горячо.

В последней трети дым переходит в сладкую сливочную консистенцию, а острота уходит совсем... Вообще курение этого табака напоминает полный обед, простите за чревоугодную аналогию, сначала острые закуски, основное блюдо и десерт под конец.

Сладость в конце просто неописуема, как хороший сливочный крем в эклере. Появляется привкус ванили и опять перик о себе напоминает.

Вообще впечатление положительное, деньги потрачены не зря. Думаю пару лет выдержки совсем не повредит, хотя на банке написано, что смесь из старых запасов. Есть аж 2003 года красная Вирджиния,
