Cornell & Diehl Halav U'Dvash - Milk & Honey
(2.55)
Starting with a complementary base of black and red Virginia cavendish, rough cut burley and dark fired Kentucky are then mixed with exotic Middle Eastern Orientals and a touch of perique to create this smooth, fragrant blend.
Notes: Previous Tin Copy: A true blend of both black and red VA cavendish as a base, given strength and presence with rough cut and dark fired Kentucky leaf, combined with exotic Middle Eastern orientals and specially processed with a traditional aromatic agent. The blend comes into being with a final hand-blended note of Perique. An aromatic for those who think they don't like aromatics.

Sorry, I just don't get this one. I got drawn into this blend by the description.Red Virginias, Orientals, Perique, you figure you can't go wrong here. All the different elements just don't seem to meld into a cohersive blend. The flavors seem to be confused and muddled. It's not a bad blend but there are just so many better ones sitting on my shelf that I will never reach for this one. I will just let this one sit for awhile and hope it improves or I just will use it for blending. Why do I have a such a tough time connecting with any of the C&D blends?

Pretty bland. I did not like this blend, even for an "all-day" tobacco.

This came in the C&D virginia sampler pack. I think it was mis-described as an aromatic type. This is a perique mix and will not appeal to aromatic purists. It permanently colored my Butz Choq 3 star pipe with it's flavor. Not happy about that. I tried cleaning the pipe with vodka to remove it and the flavor is still there. Got up into my sinuses and could still smell it 2 days later. Flavor was of pine pencil shavings. Given the orientals and perique, this not an aromatic in my book. I'm not really sure how to classify this one. Without latakia it's not english or baltic, without virginias its not a vaper. With the orientals and perique its not an aromatic. I'm just confused with this one.

I've got to go along with Grampa on this one. I was very disappointed with Halav U'Dvash, especially after haveing a most positive experience with Boker Or, another blend in this series. This one bears no resemblance to Haddo's Delight. If you are looking for an alternate to Haddo's, don't go near this one.
