Cornell & Diehl Ghost of Christmas Present

The flue cured red, orange and bright Virginias provide plenty of tart and tangy citrus, grass, bread, sugar, earth, wood, some tangy dry darker fruit, floralness, vegetation, mild sour lemon, light spice, and a touch of acidity. A light dark spiced rum casing very mildly tones down the tobaccos. The strength and nic-hit are a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium. The taste falls half a step short of the medium mark. No chance of bite or harshness. Has a few minute rough notes. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent flavor that translates to the lightly lingering, pleasant after taste. The room note is a bit stronger. Barely leaves any dampness in the bowl, and requires few relights. Can be an all day smoke. Three and a half stars.

Tin note of figs, sour sweet fruit, and hay. The orange and reddish ribbon cut is moist, but not enough to need drying. Burns moderate with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild, with notes of spiced rum, more spice and less rum. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of lemon grass, sweet bread, wood, floral, mild earth, mild spice, tart dark fruit background note, and a moderately spicy retro. Virginias is leading with casing supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is excellent.
