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!

It's true! Autumn Evening performs as an aromatic should. It is not overly hydrated and can very well be smoked straight from bulk, or tin. It burns cool without tongue bite. It is not full of PG/humectants or other chemicals. AND it actually tastes like it smells! Imagine that!

There are a cornucopia of flavorings for Autumn Evening described on this website. They may all be used but I taste maple (lots of it) and whiskey (a little bit). As an added bonus the flavor of the Red Virginia Cavendish is noticeable underneath the topping! The aroma is as wonderful and inviting as any aromatic I've encountered.

Autumn Evening is everything that it says it is. The maple/vanilla/caramel sauce is never cloying. The red Virginias really shine midway through the bowl. This little tobacco is very forgiving but does have nicotine presence. Tread carefully.

A very simple enjoyable aromatic tobacco that deserves a simple 4 star review.

Very sweet, maple flavors dominate. Tobacco is of a good quality. Lights easily, and stays lit.

This is perfect for those cool autumn evenings, under clear brisk skies. And I love the artwork on the tin!

I consider myself more of a Balkan/English smoker...with that being said, this tobacco is very good. I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews from my other Latakia brothers. I am finding that there are times when a great aromatic is just right up my alley and with the change of the seasons beginning to occur this one fit the bill.

The tobacco is quite aged and I'm not sure how I got my hands on such an old tin via online shopping. The tobacco is quite moist and very sweet right out of the tin. Strong smell of maple and vanilla. Loads and lights well and behaves quite nice....though you shouldn't puff hard regularly as you will get the burnt/charcoal flavor (as noted by other reviewers).

Flavor is delightful. Lots of maple and vanilla mixed with a decent natural tobacco flavor. Great balance and harmony to the flavors if sipped properly. Produces large amounts of silky smoke. I was surprised at how strong this blend was in regards to the nic. punch. Definite winner for C&D and will be smoked by me quite a bit this season.

Absolutely love this blend. I love all flavors of maple, coffee, pumpkin pie, caramel, and all things autumn. This blend delivers and doesn't fade away. Though your own taste may vary from mine, I don't feel this casing is overly sweet. Just right by my reckoning. I find myself reaching for this more than any other. The tin note matches the taste and that's always good in my book.

Ah! Pancakes and maple syrup! Enjoyable.

I am a devotee of pancakes, maple syrup and ice-cream! This tobacco is pleasant to my palate, nice in the room, but (regrettably) lacks ice-cream as it comes from C&D!! The sugars/flavouring are nicely "maple" without being over-the-top. Nice on the back-patio (and, back-palate) in the deepening twilight. As with any 'gentle' tobacco, don't force it otherwise it may bite unpleasantly!

Bowl after bowl, and never a let down. The tin note was very sweet, and since I have a sweet tooth, knew this was right up my alley. Ordered 16 oz to cellar and let it age to see if it helps, or harms. As Siskel and Ebert used to say, I give it two thumbs up.

I like the occasional aromatic, but I'm not a great lover of aromatics. I think this is one of the reasons that I enjoy Autumn Evening so much and, conversely, why some folks dislike it: It doesn't really tickle the parts that true lovers of aromatics desire to be tickled, but it is, unabashedly and undeniably, an aromatic. So, if you're looking for the next "Middle Earth" or "Blue Note" (two of the best aromatics ever made, IMHO), then Autumn Evening won't do it for you. But if you're after an eloquent Virginia then the heavy casing will turn you right off.

Autumn Evening gives us a very pleasant VA that is, nevertheless, very heavily cased in a strong (I don't know why the CD people characterize it as "delicate"--there's nothing delicate about it) flavor. The casing is delicious and it lasts to the bottom of any sized bowl I've ever tried this in. The natural VA background remains throughout. And the nicotine is delightfully present from beginning to end. And SWMBO enjoys the aroma. What more could one ask for?

Despite its name, I enjoy Autumn Evening on cool mornings. The pancake flavor coupled with the undeniable nicotine hit make it a fine smoke when there's a fog on the ground and things are crisp and lovely. Great with a cup of coffee or tea. It can bite a teeny bit if disrespected, but it does take some doing to get it into that mood. I like it crunchy dry--moisture impedes its lovely burning characteristics. This is a good one for the cellar.

This is claimed as a heavy aromatic, full of taste, full of flavour

Really it have a lot of Maple flavour, bu mainly in the Room notes... The taste and flavour remains in the Room, in the Pipe, in the hands, but not muck in mouth or in the smoke...!

In the smoke... it becomes almost tasteless, but good

Also, it is strong in Nicotine for a typical aromatic.

4 stars, very good, but not will amasing for people that not like aromatics.
