Cornell & Diehl Maple Cavendish

Smoking now:

The bag note is sweet, slight maple and raisin smell. It’s not as heavy as autumn evening. The moisture is right, not sticky, typical American aromatic blend.

Packs and lights just fine. Had a nutty sweet flavor. I don’t get a strong maple syrup flavor like autumn evening. Reminds me more of a old time burley cavendish blend sweetened with maple. I get more of a nutty burley flavor than anything else. Burley unfortunately for me doesn’t agree with my tongue. The room note at work I was told was very pleasant.

This ain’t to autumn evening but it’s a nice bur/va/cav aromatic. Could definitely smoke all day.

This is a perfect autumn aromatic blend that provides true tobacco taste augmented by rum and maple, I didn’t much taste whiskey. Blonde and red ribbon are accented by chunks of black cavendish. There are some sugar crystals shimmering on the red ribbon. The pouch aroma is one of maple and whiskey. There was not much rum smell, but it was evident in the taste early on in the bowl. This gives way to citrusy Virginias and nutty earthy muddy burley. This burns super dry and has a more natural taste and presentation than either AE or BGM.

I enjoyed this as something super mild and straightforward to smoke while putzing around the yard. Great with coffee. I would recommend this to fans of aromatic tobaccos as well as those less inclined given the judicious nature with which the topping is applied.

I recently hit upon Autumn Evening and found it so nice I thought I would try all the Cornell & Diehl maple flavors. Surely they must all have the same wonderful maple flavoring right?

This tobacco is very nice indeed but a let down after Autumn evening, neither the maple notes nor the sweetened tobacco flavors are as pronounced to my palate. It is not overly moist or goopy, nor did it cause any tongue bite. With every puff, I just felt like I would be rather smoking Autumn Evening. Had I found this blend first this review may have been more positive.

Simple, well done aromatic! Not over done like so many blends of this genre. The Maple does not override the tobacco and that suits me all the way around. Quality tobacco components as I expect from C&D. Takes to the match well and burns at a reasonable rate. No sticky residue, no bite, no burn. This can be an all day blend for some, for me it is an occasional foray into the world of aromatic tobacco. Highly recommended to those who like a little maple in their day.

Maple Syrup + Tobacco = Tasty Goodness

The Maple casing/topping is present in the tin note and carries on through the majority of the smoke. There is a hint of rum. Neither flavor overwhelm the tobacco.

The tobacco is made up mostly of cavendish and some burley and Virginia leaf—very similar to C&D’s other aromatic blends. There is no goop nor is drying time needed. The smoke is creamy, slightly nutty with some bright-grassy notes.

In all of the maple aromatic blends that I have tried, I would rank this blend below Cult Militia (my four star blend), slightly above Autumn Evening, and much better than Sutliff Maple Street.
