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.

This is the 7th of 8 tins from a sampler I bought some time back. I just really can't say this does much for me but wastes my time in smoking. It just seems to taste more like smoking cigarettes than pipe tobacco. It does have some redeeming qualities: it comes not too moist in the tin, some would say dry. It burns down to a nice fine ash in the bowl. It seems to be lacking much in the nicotine area for me. I cannot recommend this at all.

Not overly complex but very satisfying. This is a full English mixture that is best enjoyed after a meal. This is one of C&D's better offerings.Fans of "Star of the East" will like this. There are however no orientals, which for some may cause concern and others relief. Good Stuff! 3 English stars.

Expensive Tinned Tobacco that is at best lousy. Skip this one at all costs.

Yale Mixture packs easily, lights easily and has a nice light natural flavor. The burn is relatively slow, even and dry. There is some subtle complexity. The only thing that keeps me from liking this tobacco is that it bit like a rabid squirrel. I smoked it slowly, I tried it in different sized bowls, I even tried it in a Kirsten. The result was the same every time. I guess this one just doesn?t agree with me. I can't figure out what it could be.
