Cornell & Diehl Epiphany

this blend is great with a relaxing overwhelming feeling of bliss when smoked a must try, this blend was discontinued by CnD brought is back,not for the aromatic smokers but for those who love great tasting blends.

I think there is a gap in the C&D burley chart for this kind of blend, but I do not see it as an everyday tobacco, no matter how much I like it. It fits in quite nicely in the Big n' Burley, Haunted Bookshop, Old Joe Krantz, etc., lineup, but this one is more medium than full. The burley leaf is still there, but it seems to lean more onto the English aspects of this blend. Not a latakia bomb by any stretch of the imagination, but it will progress to fuller and fuller every quarter of your bowl. I personally would not have added any topping to it, but it is not horrible anyway. In addition to this, the perique is barely noticeable. The Virginia leaf combines quite nicely adding a sweet/creamy back note to it difficult to miss. I seem to enjoy it more as moist, producing little to almost no smoke. In the last quarter it seems to lose some of its character, but all and all it is a good blend.

I usually stay away from blends that claim Latakia as a major ingredient. Epiphany is far from your normal Latakia blend. Everything comes together and forms a mellow, almost aromatic note that is easy to smoke and the room note is not that of a strong Latakia smoke. It is one of a delightful tobacco scent with a hit of Latakia. Just perfect for my palate.
