Cornell & Diehl Yaller Dawg
(2.29)
Containing Syrian Latakia some Turkish and both red and bright Virginia tobaccos, this is definitely a full "English" blend.
Notes: Discontinued Blend.

Revised: Although this blend is no longer available, aged tins of this blend are worth acquiring!
Appearance and tin Aroma: My tins have about two years of age on them and the aroma upon opening the tin is delicious! The leaf is still mosly Golden colored with the specks of that delicious Syrian Latakia lightly interspersed. You can smell the Syian leaf in the tin aroma.
Packing and Lighting: With some age on my tins, the tobacco needed more coaxing to get it out of the tin. Once out of the tin, it packs easily and, of course, moisture is typically perfect from C&D.
Initial Flavor: Smooth and buttery from the get go. The Va's have smoothed out and sweetened and have melded well with the turkish. The Syrian is there for a delicious support.
Mid-Bowl: Still buttery smooth.
Bottom-of-Bowl: Builds to a nice complexity and strength, This has aged into a delicious blend. Ash is grey, dry, and fine.
Overall: Age has made such a difference in this blend! It is not a latakia bomb, but rather a English that showcases the VA leaf. The leaves have melded together beautifully, with the Syrian adding a delicious smoky, spicy background for the VA and Turkish to dance in. Alas, this blend is no more due to the fire at the storage faclity, so find those remaining tins and store for future enjoyment.

I had held off buying a tin of this due to the two star rating and previous reviews. Mistake! I picked up a tin that was about two and a half years old and it was real good! I wonder if full English is acurate as well, I would probably say more of an Oriental. Anyhow, the tin I had was smooth and rich with the smell of the red Virginias upon opening the tin. It smoked great all the way down the bowl and I never had any problems with it at all. I will buy more of this if I can find it, as it appears to age quite well.
