Cornell & Diehl Mountain Camp
(3.05)
At the request of an old customer, we took the recipe for Bayou Night and reversed the proportions of Latakia and Perique to create a full English in the Scottish vein. If Bayou Night is perfect for an evening on the bayou, Mountain Camp is a peerless choice for a day spent fishing.
The same tobaccos as Bayou Night with the proportions of Perique and Latakia exchanged, making this a heavy Latakia blend for the English smoker.

In appearance, Mountain Camp is a dark blend. Predominantly blackish brown with the occasional light leaf here and there. The aroma is all Latakia.
According to the description, there is supposed to be some Perique in this blend, but you won?t notice it in the aroma, nor when you light up. It has a full, rich, smoky Latakia flavor, a flavor that reminds me of Syrian Trawler. It?s a rather dry taste.
Latakia dominates, and the other leaf in the blend acts as condiments. If you love Latakia, that is good. If you are looking for depth and complexity, that is bad. There is a bit of a spicy undertone to the smoke that could be the Perique, could be Syrian Latakia, could be Turkish/Oriental. Frankly, I can?t tell. Exhaling through the nose suggests a hint of Perique.
Mountain Camp is a slow burning, cool smoking blend with tons of flavor, albeit a bit of a monochromatic flavor. There is no artificial flavoring added. It?s OK smoked on its own, but I believe it would also do well if you used it to jack up the Latakia content in a blend you found lacking.
The room note, as you might expect, will not make you popular among Latakia-phobes. Smells great to me though!

Mountain camp is a very tasty English blend. The mixture works very well and reminds me of another C&D English blend, like plantation evening. The latakia and orientals complement very well the tobacco mixture. It smokes very well in a long smoke and like the name, works completely well for walking or an evening in nature.

I like this blend quite a bit.
Similar to another C&D Lat-bomb, Da Vinci. There’s an odd sweetness to this Latakia. It’s leathery, earthy qualities are enhanced by the Perique and there’s a slight kick on the retrohale from the Perique as well. There’s not much complexity but it is a stout Latakia heavy blend. Give it a try if you like Da Vinci and vice versa.
It’s a good bulk buy. Along with my other C&D bulk favorites: Epiphany, Engine 99. You may enjoy these as well.

I really enjoyed this blend a lot. I t reminds me of C&D's ADDAGGIO. It is heavy on the latakia but there is definitely something else going on in the bowl.I detect a lovely,sweet, and fruity Perique here. It has just enough Perique to offset the Dominant Latakia notes of the blend.You will not win friends on room note with this one. Who cares? Pipes are now anti-social symbols now anyway. It also faintly reminds me of Sam's Blend. It has that wonderful interplay between the condimental leaves. This results in a most unique flavor. This burns cool and down to a fluffy white ash. This along with Pirate Kake really should be tinned. 3.5stars. Try this and you will be pleased.
