Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening
(2.86)
Our proprietary red Virginia cavendish is lightly cased with a delicate maple flavor resulting in our best selling aromatic blend. The smoker will appreciate the taste of Virginias while those around will flock to the warm, inviting fragrance.
Notes: Jeremy Reeves and Chris Tarler mentioned this to be the best selling C&D blend!

this review is just to keep track for myself mainly, less intended as a serious in depth review. Just to keep an eye of what ive tried and what I like, with quick notes about it. alot of these notes are from memory, and I will update the review as I continue smoking them.
straight up 1 out of 10. tastes like smoke. burnt crap. I did leave this stuff in my car though, when it was really hot, and through the winter. alot of temperature changes. before that i remember it having a sort of caramel taste. Idk, after that, zero flavor, litteraly just like torched earth.

I picked this one up for two reasons. 1) I was given an unmarked 4oz bag from Cornell & Diehl that I dislike. I was told by someone they thought it was Autumn Evening, I wanted to compare the two. 2) The owner of the pipe museum recommended it and so I had to try it.
Autumn Evening certainly did not win any brownie points when the bag was opened. It had a bland unremarkable scent with some soapyness and chocolate, that was neither rich or dialed back to let the tobacco breathe. I also found the ribbon to be cut too small and was a pain to pack.
There wasn't much bite or depth when smoked. I have no idea where all the listed flavors are in the description, this is one of the least aromatic aromatics I've smoked. It was just generic. One oddly unique aspect was the ash, it was so white... almost as if I just burned a stack of papers.
Upon comparing it to my mystery bag, it was a tad lighter and smelled a bit more of chocolate. Both were unenjoyable, but this one was honestly worse.

Not impressed... I concur with the reviews stating cigarette taste and barely qualifying as an aromatic blend. BLECH! would be my one word summary. My mouth still tastes like ashtray... The upside... I only purchased 1oz... Yippee=D McClelland VBC and Avenue Blend TQ are the tastiest aromatics for me...

Aged 1-year. Tin-Moist. Burn-Even. Minimal re-lights. Good puffs of smoke. Tin Note-Maple. Taste-Bland, boring. Room Note-Tolerable. Bad after taste. Ash taste at end. Nothing special or complex. Disappointing flavor. Would not purchase again? Finished half of tin. Took out of rotation.

Compared to reviews...my order must have been a bad batch..I prefer aromatics and this was blah...I do have to say that I was expecting the maple pancakes aromatic as others spoke about but have yet to smell anything from this one ounce "baggy" that I got from the vendor..

I found his a bit disappointing. I am an aromatic smoker (maybe I should say a smoker of aromatics?) but I found this to be a disappointing flavour. I also found, despite the notes on the tin and comments elsewhere, that it was not so smooth - it prickled my throat unpleasantly. I guess I am a woos when it comes to strength too - it was not overpowering but too strong.I gave up after half a bowl-full. Tried it a couple of months ago, and had the same reaction, so the rest of the tin is going into that deep draw of failed experiments. I think I'll save the maple syrup for my pancakes.

I found this blend to be very mild and just plain bland. The maple aroma was there but it just did'nt translate into the smoke at all. The further down the bowl the blander it got. I will still try other maple aromatics but this one was a turnoff.

This review is about the tinned version. The maple casing is artificial. First part of the bowl is more or less smokable, second part is horrid. Be careful that you don't ruin your pipe. When you are looking for a maple tobacco there are far better choices (e.g. Essence of Vermont, 4noggins).

I usually smoke Latakia blends, but I do enjoy several aromatics. There is a strong following for this blend on ASP and I guess I was expecting more.
To me it seemed heavily cased and a little wet, which seems to be at odds with most reviewers. I have Consolidated's Maple aromatic, and it seems very similar, though less wet and more "natural" which probably means more VAs and less Black Cavendish and burly.
My impression is not, "C&D has created a whole new class of aromatics" as I heard some say, and more like, "C&D has a maple."

There's been such a great "buzz" about this blend in pipe circles,so I thought I'd give it a try.Let me start by saying that my regular smoke is Dunhill's 965 and that I lean towards full english's and oriental's.I do however enjoy cavendish's and other aromatics from time to time.I don't however enjoy this one! Autumn Eve. is an extremely boring blend of cased Va's and black cav.It has a bland flavor which hint's at the maple casings.Be warned also that it "gunks up" a pipe terribly,and one should be dedicated to it if you enjoy this blend.I expected sooo much more and was disapointed completely.Possibly those who enjoy "Half and Half" would like this,as it's equally flavorless! Pass This By! prep 10-29-04 *****UPDATE***** I have recently tried this blend in a meer and then in a clay churchwarden with suprisingly good results!It did'nt carry the "goopiness" with it as it did when smoked in a briar.I was also able to enjoy the flavor more throughly.It's not something I'd smoke daily or even weekly,but it was'nt as bad as previously reviewed either.I imagine it's the sort of thing I'll occasionaly smoke in my Zenith x-mas pipes in front of the fireplace this winter.... Upgraded to Decent. prep
