Cornell & Diehl Consolation
(3.33)
An Americanized English, it has the traditional Latakia and Turkish (though in lighter amounts) in a Virginia flake base, but layered in are cubed burley and a discreet amount of toasted black cavendish for a round and slightly sweet finish.
Notes: Let your worries slip away with this calming blend of Latakia, Turkish, and bright Virginias. Balanced with black Cavendish and cube-cut Burley for a smooth, slightly sweet finish.

I just bought two tins of this blend (at clearance prices) and believe me...at $5.00 for 2 oz.....the price is apt.
This was a delicious, classic American-English blend when I first tasted it in 2002. Even my wife loved the aroma!
Greg Pease, in his BRIAR AND LEAF CHRONICLES warns tha Latakia loses its umph! with time in the tin. With as little of that smoky weed as this contains...as B.B. King would say...."The Thrill Is Gone." Latakia and Burley, over time, peter-out. Burley loses its nutty, earthy notes, and Latakia fades into a very dark corner, indeed.
Excellent and enjoyable by all when fresh (alas, no longer!) but interesting only for the erudite when aged. One high note--the Turkish tobaccos come to the fore in a musty, fascinating way.
Unless one is experienced in the ways of pipes and tobaccos...pass this by and grab some Junkyard Dog...or Barking Dog... or some species of cat...for those with feline inclinations.
Once delicious...now only a curiosity.
