Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening

The description I found indicates that this tobacco "actually tastes the same as it smells". As a new pipe smoker, this was a huge draw. This is the first tobacco for me that actually lives up to that standard. I will most certainly be ordering more and if you like aromatics, I heartily encourage you to do the same.

As for defining the flavor, I leave that to those with more refined palates than mine. All I can say is I found the maple enjoyable, and the flavor itself conjured a cool "Autumn Evening" even though it was smoked in late July.

Maybe it's the red Virginias that make this blend a winner but C&D's Autumn Evening is a great aromatic. Smell is outstanding, no bite, and wonderful, wonderful room note. Easily a top aromatic for me.

Maple and vanilla is what I get from this blend. I like it, I couldn't tell you what the underlying flavors are because it is a very sweet smoke-all aromatic with very little tobacco. But sometimes that is exactly what I want. A nice change of pace from vanilla Cavendish and perfect on an autumn evening on the porch. I bought 8 oz and popped it in a mason jar to save until next fall, hopefully it ages well!

This is one of my favorite aromatics out there the true maple is amazing. I was introduced to this blend 8 years ago and still remains top of the list. A simple red virginia cavendish infused with maple. The initial light is nice and the smoke is a crowd pleased for sure. If people are into aros this is one that should be available for you.

Don't let be fooled, this is a classy aromatic tobacco, which is not cloying or disgusting. The aroma is that of maple syrup, but this tobacco has also a great base made of Red Virginias which are dominant throughout the smoke. The aroma is for sure one that your wife/girl will enjoy. Nicotine-wise, this is not a light tobacco, I'd say it sits in the medium spot. Tin art superb as usual. I highly recommend it for those who want to try a top-notch aromatic tobacco.

The best airomatic blend I have smoked in 5 years. And that includes my all time favorite cult brand. This one has it all. A clean sweet topper. A nice blend of latikia and i detect a little bit of red virginia cased with vanilla and rum.

This blend seems to have it all. A tasty aromatic with rich flavors, yet there remains a complex mature and full tobacco flavor . Notes of citrus, rum, maple, and a number of delights float through this blend.

I received a sample of Autumn Evening included in an order. I liked the smell and tried it with no preconceptions. I was stunned. I have a problem with tongue bite from some Virginias, but I get only the mildest tingle from Autumn Evening. I have smoked it a bit wet and need to dry it a bit more, but, even wet, it burns to fine ash. The flavor is mild with just a hint of a spicier note. I was so impressed that I ordered a large container.

It could easily become my go-to tobacco. I look forward to drier smokes and a bit of aging.

Now thats maple, i have smoked maple street by sutllif, latham circle by hearth and home and maple gold by C&D and found all of them to be lacking in maple flavoring. The only other blend i have smoked with similar flavor intensity was rum and maple by sutliff tobacco galleria line and that blend although being decent in price and a bit more mellow, have the tendency to loose its maple beyond half the bowl. Autumn evening however maintain what it have to offer throughout the bowl even if not in the same power. Its a virginia so sip it and enjoy. Moisture is perfect and combustion is excellent, room note is acceptable by many and no tongue bite for me. Its a different aromatic than what the american market usually offer (reminds me of blue note by dan tobacco with a major lean toward the maple/butterscotch taste rather than fruity citrusy profile of blue note). Highly recommended indeed. If you are after an aromatic go for it, if not leave it alone and dont scare the others (my only criticism on this blend is that i wish it has more maple to it, its that much good flavor)
