Cornell & Diehl Boker Or - Morning Light
(3.38)
A base of light, yet rich Orientals serves as the backdrop for a spicy, yet smooth medley of raisiny Perique, mellow stoved red Virginias, and a dash of sweetened black Cavendish. Perfect with a cup of strong coffee or on a morning stroll.
Notes: Previous Tin Copy: An unusual base of light yet rich orientals serves as a backdrop to a real Perique presence, enveloping stoved red Virginias sweetened with a bit of black cavendish. Perfect with a cup of strong coffee or on a morning stroll.

This is my second venture into C&D's Hebraic series and is a huge improvement over the Halav D'Vash that I had previously. I was looking for a change of pace from my usual Va/Pers and that is exactly what I got. I love non Latakia orientals so I decided to give this a try. The turkish type tobaccos certainly control this blend but do not wash out the others. Firstly, I love the smell of this stuff in the pouch. Heaven! The aroma while burning is almost as good. The Virginias weave in and out with their sweetness and the Perique is certainly present but only plays a support role to the Oriental tobacco. Over all I enjoy this blend quite a bit but mainly as an occasional change of pace and it is not going to replace any of my favorite Va/Pers anytime soon.I find the Turkish type tobaccos can be a bit cigarettish at times. That being said, it is sort of a genre all unto itself and fun just for that reason. Very enjoyable but not an earth shattering revelation.
I am Glad I ordered Boker Or but probably will not restock it after it is gone.Some of you might enjoy this blend even more than I and is definitely worth your consideration. Boker Or seems to me to be very pipe specific, so try it in a variety of different sized pipes to find the best smoke. It is also quite good in a Cob.

Boker Or is a loose, square cut blend of tobacco -- perhaps you would call it a very short cut ribbon. It has a gently sweet and plummy Vaper base with a well conceived blend of velvety black Cavendish, and what I think is Izmir (or Smyrna ) -- musty and muted.
Put it one small step to the sweet side of the line dividing sweet from savory -- though the latter taste component is definitely detectable. It has great overall balance: good body or depth of character; rich flavor, without fatiguing the palate; and moderate strength, being satisfying but not overly robust. It has good smoke volume and mouth feel. The Oriental is used with restraint, working its magic to perfection, and producing an enduring, pleasantly sweet/musty finish. I enjoy smoking this in a larger diameter bowl to let the blend sing at full volume. No worries about burn, bite, gurgle or dottle.

This is a blend I have liked enough to buy a pound of it. It presents in the pouch as a very dark, slightly moist blend that looks like stoved Va and black cavendish. Smoked, I get orientals, perique and a thick slightly sweet taste I attribute to the VA and cavendish. I don't note either of these two tobaccos on their own in the smoke, so they are truly "supporting role." I get best results from a dedicated pipe, and find the blend does not hit it's stride until you have smoked 3 or 4 bowls in the same pipe.
I smoked up a 4 oz sample and am maybe 5 oz into the pound. It has been a cool burning blend for me, and it leaves that characteristic oriental tingle and sweet in the mouth when the pipe is done.
It is good and works well for me. I prefer the Or Olam from this same series just a little for a slightly brighter taste, but the Boker Or makes for some variety, and it is a solid 3+. If the oriental/perique combo interests you, these two are really a "must try."

Cornell & Diehl - Morning Light.
I opened this by mistake, if I'm honest! The name and label design had me thinking 'aromatic'.
The strongest flavour hails from the Orientals. However, the smoke isn't overly fragrant, it's quite buttery and savoury. The Virginia and Perique seem about the same weight, creating a delicate, fruity, addition. The black Cavendish accounts for a mild sweetness, but nothing sticky or 'aromatic'. Morning Light burns well, generating a cool, bite free, smoke. The nicotine's about medium and I'm not too fond of the room-note.
A very good quality Oriental smoke, sure to please fans of this kind of leaf. Although it's not my type of blend I'll give it a recommendation based on the quality.
Three stars.

This is a decent Orientals based mixture. Good, but only Orientals are noted. I dont scent Virginia Cavendish or Perique, Not noted

The orientals are the pronounce flavor on this one with the virginias adding sweetness follow by the perique coming in and out, this blend seems to be more refine than #837. this one is easy to keep lit it comes dry like most of C&D blends, the description of this blend is pretty much dead on, except for the part of the perique presence which i would say is there but not overwhelming, I recommend this but with caution you most really like orientals specially Izmir, if you are expecting Vaper blend this one is not it.

I found a small jar from my October 2018 sample from the old Tin Society box.
Ribbon cut with a variety of shades of tobacco and no overwhelming tin note. Very easy to pack and light.
I found it smokes wonderfully in smaller pipes. A slight sweetness but mostly carried by the oriental spice and supported but not overwhelmed by the perique. The aftertaste is definitely Oriental forward and lingers.
It's strength makes it something I enjoy for an evening smoke despite the name. The room note is quite strong and cigar or cigarette like. It's not something I usually crave a back to back bowl of but it's a pleasure to enjoy.
