Cornell & Diehl Gray Ghost
(2.67)
Stoved and plain red Virginia are mixed with fine Lancaster cigar leaf to form a full-flavored smoke.
Notes: Legend has it that on dark nights, a lone figure keeps watch over the city skyline, his billowing trenchcoat casting a long shadow over the metropolitan streets. In the midst of uncertainty, look for the refuge of Virginias carefully guarded by fragrant cigar leaf. Look for the Gray Ghost.

This definitely has to be a niche blend, i.e., for those of you who can relate to the early 19th century Mountain Men and who are NOT faint of heart. If you like to be smacked upside your heads with the taste and strength of an in your face, full-bodied, honest, heady and earthy tobacco, put a stash of Gray Ghost in your mule?s pack. The cigar leaf does make its presence known. This was not objectionable for that is what I expected based on its components. But it was just outright strong and at times had a subdued bitterness and harshness.
If you are faint of heart yet want to try this blend, get a buzz on first. This ghost was not too friendly to me. I was overwhelmed by it. The phrase ?all-day smoke? is often mentioned in the reviews here. I would call this a once a year smoke??? or is that a once in a lifetime smoke?
A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.
I rate this tobacco 5.0 out of 10.

One of the worst blends I've ever had. My sample was like Eulenbergs and was a mix of Connecticut cigar leaf and Virginias. I think I got it from a buddy who cellared some in '98. Maybe C&D changed the recipe around some and now makes it with Maduro leaf. Anyway, hot harsh Virginias mixed with low-grade Connecticut leaf made for a very strong and rough smoke. Never again...
