I purchased a pound of this stuff in 2003 and it was awful. I figured I could either throw it out or put it in mason jars and let it age. Cellaring it for a while was the right choice.
After eight years, I opened a jar. The smell hit me like a brick....Booze!!!! It really did smell like a Scott's pub in that jar. Not bad, not good, just booze. I loaded a pipe, with some trepidation. My first bowl burned like a flame thrower. Then it occurred to me that alcohol stoves are used on sail boats and in laboratories. I was applying an alcohol stove to my mouth.
I loaded another pipe and let it sit for a day or two to evaporate off some of the whiskey that was used for flavoring. The charring light gave me very good flavor. I let it sit. I did not want to get in a hurry and ruin my pipe smoking for another week. After several slow sipping puffs, the flavor was bold and reminded me of Peterson's Irish Whiskey. I'm not saying it was the same caliber, but it was still very good.
Down in the bowl the flavor evolved and became stronger. As a rule I don't taste dried fruit, pete moss or even dead bugs in my tobacco. I just enjoy it for what it is, and this was very enjoyable.
I gave it three stars because the tobacco got better over time, and I wanted to give Cornell & Diehl a break on this one since it got such bad reviews.
It was just as good as any three star blend I have seen reviewed here, so why not. It gets three stars after 8 years of aging. That's pretty good.
I will smoke away on this jar for a couple months and post another review. I may decide to alter my review.
