Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening

This is a quality blend. Good looking leaf, excellent moisture and keeps for a long time, excellent burning characteristics, no dottle, no goop, no bite, pleasant room note. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work with me. It may have a significant nicotine dose or the casing just doesn't work well with my chemistry, but this ALWAYS gives me a headache. Doesn't matter the pipe or my cadence. I switch to other blends or cigars and I'm fine. Obviously, I won't be purchasing again. I can only recommend that you try a small sample if you can. YMMV.

Heard about this for years before I got around to trying it. I really wanted to like this. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. It's a quality tobacco, in many ways it's perfect. But the flavor was just a tad off putting to me - maybe annoying (?). It's blended well and balanced. The tin note is phenomenal. Smokes great and everything. But the taste didn't sit all that well with me. I'll probably buy another tin sometime in the future and if my opinion on it changes I'll update this review and either add or subtract a star or two.

That said, I do recommend it because everyone's tastes and preferences are different and, like I said, this is by no means a bad tobacco. The tobacco used are quality. Everything about is good. I just didn't care for how it tasted. You might love it.

As a newer pipe smoker, I am mainly exploring the different aromatic blends (although I am dipping my toes into the non-aromatic blends now) to find what I like. The product description lists - vanilla, maple, citrus and liquor and sounded enticing! Opening the tin, what I smelled was mainly maple (maybe some vanilla but the maple was overwhelming everything else making it hard to tell). The flavor I tasted was purely maple, not bad but it was the dominant flavor to the point I didn't taste anything else. I did not have any tounge-bite with this blend.

I’m a fan of C&D blends in general, but I just can’t get into this one. The maple tin note gets overpowered by a alcohol type taste. The strength was a bit higher than I expected; not strong, just more than I’d have thought from a blend in this genre. Came rather dry and smoked easily. No bite and the taste lingers quite a while after smoking. I wouldn’t turn down a bowl, but unlikely to buy another tin.

I tried this tobacco for the first time this evening. I will admit that though I have been smoking a pipe for many years I have been very inconsistent with the hobby. Also, I have not developed the palette for tobacco that I would like in regards to identifying its make up. I will say everyone around the fire pit tonight loved the room note of Autumn Evening, as did I. I have read many reviews regarding it, which is why I tried it, but actually I was not overly impressed with it. I felt the flavor was pleasant but weak. Nothing really stood out to me. I have a question for each tobacco I try.... Is it "Jar Worthy"? Will it get a its own jar for my cabinet and get its custom label.

Autumn Evening is undecided. I will give it couple of more bowls to decide.

I’m a new pipe smoker who is searching for a tobacco that I can smoke every day. Sorry to say, but Autumn evening didn’t fit the bill for me. The maple flavor is very noticeable, which I enjoyed. However, the longer I smoked, the harsher the taste. I may try in a different pipe next time .

I read a lot of positive reviews for Autumn Evening, and since I really like maple taste (and smell) I was eager to try this blend.

The first thing I noticed is that the tobacco was very dry upon arrival. None of the other blends I received with this order were dry either. After smoking a bowl I was somewhat disappointed that I couldn't detect much of the maple (or other) flavoring. It also seemed a bit harsh and just not as pleasant as I was expecting.

I saw some negative reviews that also mentioned they got a dry batch of this blend, so I thought I'd try to spray it a bit with some distilled water. I also tried in different corn cob pipes, some with a filter. After four bowls I'm still a bit disappointed with this blend, but am now getting a bit more of the maple flavor and it's a bit sweeter as well, so there is a little hope.

I only bought an ounce so I'll probably work though it, keeping it moist prior to smoking and perhaps it will grow on me. For now though, I'll give it a somewhat recommended. It's worth a shot, but seems to be hit or miss for different pipe smokers.

It smells wonderfully of Maple and sugar upon opening the tin, it’s the very best a Waffle House has to offer. The smell in the room was one of the very best I’ve ever lit up, according to my wife. The taste on my end was not quite up to bland, don’t look for any tobacco flavor here, there is none to be had.

I trusted the reviews but im very disappointed the taste is not pleasant !!Also the Nicotine is very high ! The box smells fantastic but the taste is totally different !
