Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture
(2.83)
If this were a wine it would be full bodied, rich but not sweet (like Cabernet Sauvignon). An all natural Virginia based blend with Latakia. This is a re-creation of the legendary Carreras Craven's Mixture.
Notes: Yale Mixture was introduced in August, 1996.

I smoke this in rotation with C&D #063 Bayou Night. It at best is an ok afternoon smoke as it comes, but it is not strong enough to keep in rotation (for me) without doctoring up.
I usually add some perique to this blend to strengthen it up a bit. After that it is a really satisfying smoke for me. There is some complexity in the blend that rotates through as I puff; some raisin/nut like flavor and with perique blended in it adds a bit of pepper to the mix.
I rarely have a bad smoke from any C&D blend, but for my liking this one just needs a little zap with some perique.
