Cornell & Diehl Professor

A blend of Virginia ribbon and latakia. You'll need a tweed jacket with elbow patches to smoke this one.
Notes: Blender Jeremy Reeves is on record as saying Oriental and perique are in the mix.

I can see how the name matches the blend. I can see an old Professor mulling over his class's papers while smoking like a freight train on this one. Mild in strength and flavor, a biteless Virginia and laid back Latakia.
I'm not sure I much care for this one only because I like stronger and fuller tasting blends.

The dry, floral, earthy, woody, spicy, herbal, moderately sour Orientals occasionally trades the lead with the smoky, woody, leathery, earthy, mildly sweet Cyprian Latakia. The grassy, mildly tart citrusy, lightly tangy dark fruity Virginia is just above being a condiment. The spicy, raisiny, plumy, perique is an important condiment, and noticeable in virtually every puff. The strength is a step past the center of mild to medium, while the taste is a little past that. The nic-hit is closer to mild than it is to medium. Won’t bite, but the spice content may tingle the tongue if puffed fast. The tobacco is rather dry. Burns a little fast and warm with some inconsistency in the mildly sweet and more savory, spicy, bitter flavor that translates to the after taste. Hardly leaves any dampness in the bowl, and needs few relights. Can be an all day smoke.

Preface: I have been smoking Dunhill Standard Mixture Medium for near-on 30 years, believing that it has no equal anywhere on earth. But it is gone now, and so I begin a quest for my Holy Grail: A substitute to replace the standard on which all English tobaccos are based.
Professor is dry. I do not much care for dry tobacco. Professor is also raw, as in, I was put too fresh in my tin & then shipped. I haven't yet mellowed, haven't yet been allowed to show you what I could have been. My Virginias are not yet ripe & sweet, my Orientals are still too harsh. I am beautiful to look at, but I am coarse and uninspiring to smoke. If you were a kind man, you could put me in your cellar and hope I become worthy. If you were a smart man, well, ...
