The same tobaccos as Apricots & Cream, but flavored with blackberry brandy. It's different and mild.

The blackberry brandy tastes pretty decent, and sublimates the tobaccos a bit. I can taste some toasted, nutty burley as I go along, along with some brown sugar from the unsweetened black cavendish. Has almost no nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns fairly dry and a little creamy at a reasonable pace with a mostly consistent flavor. Needs an average number of relights, and leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no dottle. Has a very pleasant after taste and room note. Can be an all day smoke.

First thing I noticed about this blend was the berry flavoring from the first light. I could taste some sourness I assume from the brandy (never having tried brandy I'm not 100% sure), and a little creamyness as well. As I smoked on, I started to get a bit of artificial berry taste, almost like a cough syrup feel, and it put me off for a bit. I never got that same taste from the apples & cream which I believe is made the same way as this but apple brandy instead of berry.
After leaving it for a couple weeks I tried it again, and still get a bit of that artificial hint from the flavor, but it wasn't as bad as I remembered from the first bowl. The rest of the ounce I bought I will smoke rather than try to get rid of, but I doubt I'll make this one a regular purchase. I give it a somewhat recommended as it's not a bad smoke aside from that slight taste I don't like much. Didn't get any bite, though I smoke aromatics slowly, and hardly had to relight.

Cornell & Diehl - Berries & Cream.
The pouch smells clearly of blackberry brandy and in keeping with the smell the ribbons are fairly wet. The colour of B&C is very dark brown.
At first the blackberry brandy's a little too sharp/acidic tasting; too much alcohol, not enough fruit. This is only for the initial part, but after only a short while the Green River Burley placates the sharpness, somewhat, making for a more enjoyable experience. It burns at a medium speed, is cool, and doesn't bite.
Nicotine: very mild. Room-note: very pleasant.
Berries & Cream? Sure, it isn't abhorrent, but I wouldn't have it as a regular aromatic. Two stars:
Somewhat recommended.

this was the first tobacco I brought home with a Nording rusticated 1/2 bent, smoked alot of this learning how to pack and load, how to smoke cool, and how to clean and restore my pipe. Good beginner and everyday type smoke. If not pushed, smokes cool and flavorable. If pushed, becomes stinging goopy mess, both in the bowl and on your palate. so beware not to smoke this hot. She Who Must Be Obeyed likes the room note. Its ok on special occasions and late at night.
