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.

Great Blend! I am not an aromatic smoker typically, usually smoking Virginias and English Blends, but this aromatic is not really aromatic. I love the straight tobacco flavor of the Kentucky with the addition of the Cavendish for a hint of sweetness. Perfect burning qualities! Tasty tobacco flavor with a hint of something I can't put my finger on. Great!

OMG This is one of the best tasting, best smoking blends I've ever tsmoked. This has got to be one of C&D's best. If you're a fan of aromatics or VA Pers you'll enjoy this tobacco. When I first got the bag it looked to me like a bag of black STUFF. I mean that's the only color I noticed at first glance was the black cavendish. When I opened up the bag I was very happy with the aroma. Sweet and spicey. It's cut very well and it loads up great. The moisture was just right and I didn't let it sit and dry at all. Upon charring light I got a mouthful of happiness. I could taste each individual group and has the perfect amount of perique. When I started sipping away (which I recommend because this stuff will burn hot if you hit it hard) I got a good hit of the cavendish, sweet and nutty with the orientals cushioning it and a little tease of perique. The aroma was sweet and very mellow the way a good tobacco should smell and it's very easy on the tongue and throat. Half way through the Orientals stood out a little more with the Kentucky leaf which is a very nice bonus. I was amazed by all of this so far, I think I've found my standard all day smoke. The strength started to increase a little but not overly strong. I'd say it's got a great nicotine hit to it. Towards the bottom the perique keeps you company and it's a delicious sweet and spicey taste. Kinda made me think of Juicy Fruit gum for some reason, the sweet and sour taste maybe. I took a big hit off my pipe at this stage and my head went reeling. Wow, this stuff's got a sneaky little kick to it. I'm more than pleased by this blend and I was smiling and giggling the whole smoke and I was kind of sad when I finished the bowl because it was so fun and enjoyable to smoke. I'm gonna by a couple of pounds of this stuff. I'm craving it now.

I have had about 5-6 ounces of this over the past 6 months. I am so intrigued by this blend. I really love it. There is no one paticular tobacco that stands out, but, you get a full flavor of of exotic, quality tobacco with a hint of frankinscence(?) or allspice - not sure but I really do recommend it
No bite, no gurgle, no downfalls at all and it contains no preservatives or additives. A real good, honest, unique, smoke that will allow you to transcend the moment.

Do you know what you get when you combine Rabbi Ira Stone and the fine folks at Cornell and Diehl? GENIUS!! What a fantastic blend. I recently acquired a 5 tin sampler pack and this was the first one I opened. Having smoked several of C&D's fine blends in the past, I am hooked. This is a great all day smoke that in my opinion tastes a little like dark chocolate as I smoke it. NO tongue bite, smokes cool and leaves NO dottle! I dump the pipe out and hardly anything falls into the ashtray! A very pleasant nicotine content, that is not overpowering, in my opinion. And as for room note, my partner says it is very pleasant and smells "just like a good tobacco should" Highly Recommended!!
