Cornell & Diehl Or L'yom - Daylight

(3.25)
Lightly sprinkled with exotic Orientals and spicy Perique, Cornell & Diehl's Daylight draws its true character from the choice red Virginias, smooth, dark Burley, and toasted black Cavendish that serve as its base. A bowl starting the day sets a fine course for what follows.
Notes: Previous Tin Copy: Lighter in the contribution of orientals and Perique, this blend gets it character from the elegant red Virginias and smooth, round burley that are melded with toasted cavendish. A bowl starting the day sets a fine course for what follows.

A superb chunky cut blend that presents a milder, more delicate interplay of Virginias, Oriental and perique. The tin note is sharp, pungent and a bit sour, the cut is very course. Right away Daylight smokes with plenty of flavor and a bit of attitude. It finishes with a sweet, spicy tang from the perique that's made even sweeter by the mellow Red Virginias and the delicate touch of unflavored Cavendish. The burley adds strength and a splash of bitterness and helps to firm up the flavor, especially further down the bowl.

The smoke is smooth but peppery and tingles the senses much in the same way C&D's Oriental Silk does, only with less perique. The Oriental component, which I would assume is Turkish Izmir, stands out in the mix with its mildly astringent flavor. To me, this mixture tastes muddled and choked off in smaller bowls. However, put it in something wider and it really shines. The slower and cooler burn of the wide surface area enhances Daylight’s wonderful meshing of taste sensations, which are sweet, tangy, spicy, floral, woodsy, bitter, barn-yardy and a bit nutty. Perfect fodder for one of my favorite pot shaped pipes.

This is my kind of tobacco mixture, and definitely one to sit down and savor.
