Cornell & Diehl Virginia Gentleman
(3.25)
A unique combination of Virginias and burleys, with a slight touch of Turkish for added sophistication, create a superb all day smoke for those who enjoy Virginia blends, but find them a touch bitey for all day enjoyment.

Interesting how the reviews are all over the place for Virginia Gentleman. Just goes to show how different our tastes are.
For myself, I didn't like this. To me the blend came across as virtually tasteless. What I did get was the hay/dried grass of the Virginia, which I suspect is C&D's Virginia Flake in ribbon form. And in a blend with burley and Orientals, I'd like more than a one-string banjo.
In my Falcon meerschaums, the blend smoked okay. In my Charatan Mayfair, it was hotter than blazes.
This blend will possibly work for someone who wants a mixture that has no casing or topping and has very subtle tobacco flavors. But in all honesty I just can't recommend this.
