Cornell & Diehl Bayou Night
(3.09)
A Scottish type blend of Latakia, perique, Virginias, Turkish, and burleys that boasts a heavier perique component than normally found in a classic Scottish blend. A full smoke that is surprisingly cool on the palate.
Notes: A full strength perique blend with a generous portion of stoved red Virginia, Latakia, Turkish and rough cut burley.

Echoing the sentiment provided in previous reviews, this blend packs a peppery taste with a cool feel. The opening note is earthy, with a hint of roasted pecans, and is a true pleasure to smoke. The burley balances the flavor quite nicely, and it is an excellent pipe for a relaxing evening. My first C and D, and I look forward to sampling future blends...and finishing the 063.

Tried this tobacco again after almost a year. Delighted that I did. Noticed a mild vinegar odor to me when first opening the bag. Bayou night is listed as containing a lot of perique, 50% I believe. I sure do not notice a strong presence. A lot of perique many times will give me sneezing fits. This does not happen with Bayou Night. Just my line of thought I think of this tobacco as a Virginia blend even considering the list of components. Nicotine seems very strong to me. The comment of surprisingly cool smokes has been very true in my smoking. Very much enjoy this particular blend.

I recently got my first 8oz. can of Bayou Night. So far, I'm really enjoying it. At $14 it's quite a steal. My can is only a month old.
First popping the lid I smelled only one thing. Not perique, not even tobacco, but Peanuts. Yup Fresh roasted yummy peanuts. A tastey smell, but not what I expected. So, I figured it needed a little air time. I dumped it out on a dinner plate (two, actually) and was amazed by the quantity of tobacco. Fairly dry, as usual for C&D, I had before me two mountains of beautiful, wide short ribbon. Not broken flake, as mentioned in the above description.
Looking at the empty can I wondered how I was going to fit it all back in. After ten or fifteen minutes' air exposure, I stuffed it back in. (It took lots of stuffing, really).
Well, that was a week ago, and the perique aroma is strong now. This blend tastes great and makes stacks of clouds of smoke. Lovely. Nicotine is adequate. It tastes strong, of mostly nutty burley riding on smooth rails of spicey perique. The Turkish and Latakia are subdued and I don't taste or smell much virginia of any kind, especially not stoved. It's not the sort of thing I've always reached for, but as days go by, I smoke it more and more. Recommended. . .
Bayou Night gets only three stars because the morning after smoking multiple pipefuls inside, my living room greets me with all the wonderful aroma of a 1970's bowling alley. (And we keep our shoes outside!) Thank you for smoking.
