Cornell & Diehl Nutty Irishman

Overall I would rate this as a delicious and decent quality aromatic. The tin note is wonderful and translates to the smoke well. I mainly get hazelnut above all and don't really notice the Irish Mist. I don't notice really any cavendish, and seems mainly thin ribbon shag-cut Virginias and Burley. The moisture content when I opened the 2oz peanut tin was just fine to smoke. Upon lighting you get full hazelnut flavor and a decently light tobacco. Later in the bowl I do start to get a bit of a chemical taste.. similar to the chemical taste I feel I get when smoking Molto Dolce... though not nearly as bad as that. The room note is really great and my wife fully approves. I would give it more stars if it didn't have this chemical note toward the bottom half of the bowl.. though I will most likely not buy more.

A very boring tobacco that gives off a sweet scent pre-light. As soon as it is lit the sweetness is revealed to be but a scent, not a taste. The nuttyness it's named after is nowhere to be found, it's all a dull taste of ash that is quite unpleasant. Never again.

Tried a 2 oz tin - before I knew it, it was gone! Good tin aroma, nice room note. Smokes cool in my briar if you let it burn slowly. If you're a fast puffer, then it can get hot and lose some of the taste. Needs to dry a little after opening about a week or so. I just bought another 2 tins - opened one today and will start using it next week.

I read the description of this blend and wanted to like it. I love Frangelico in a brandy snifter, so thought Nutty Irishman should be a wonderful aromatic.

I bought 2oz and thought it smelled wonderful in the bag. It seemed like a cross between Frangelico (hazelnut liquor) and Bailey's Irish Creme. I loaded a bowl and at first light thought it had a chemical taste. I hoped if I smoked the bowl down, it might get better, but it did not.

I've also had experiences where a second bowl is sometimes better than the first. I filled and lit another a few days later and NOPE! It was still funky and had a chemical taste. I didn't taste hazelnut, irish mist or anything else for that matter. It was just bad, and I'm sad to say it.

I love aro's and about half of my regular rotation is comprised of them. Nutty Irishman will not be a keeper for me. I don't even plan to finish my 2 oz bag.

I purchased 2 bulk ounces of Nutty Irishman from a local tobacconist. The pouch note is very sweet and smells of artificial hazelnut, overripe banana, white chocolate, and booze. Upon initial light, the taste and aroma are sweet and mildly nutty. The burley is woody and creamy, but overall has little character otherwise. The black cavendish offers a thin-tasting, metallic sweetness that could also be attributed to the heavy, artificial topping. At the bottom two thirds of the bowl, an ashy, peppery taste is prevalent. The ribbon cut was a bit moist for optimal smoking and gave me tongue-bite. After drying, it smoked much cooler and took less effort to keep lit. Nicotine strength is very mild and could be puffed on an empty stomach or all day long. Could be used as a blender, as the topping could easily suppress other less-than-desirable tobaccos, but not recommended otherwise.

A light, relaxing, comforting smoke. Not very interesting or overly complicated. Not overly sweet or cloying in anyway. Named after the classic drink which this tries to mime pretty successfully. If you’re expecting more hazelnut and less alcohol, you might want to curb those expectations a bit as this is trying to accurately copy the drink.

Has a pleasant aroma and mouth feel with a bit of a soft creaminess to it that gets cut through by the occasional hint of whiskey. The hazelnut is pretty subtle but not unnoticeable. There’s an occasional hint of toasted nuttiness thats very pleasant.

Nothing about the blend is very extreme and it’s quite well rounded. It’s a bit wet and doesn’t fully dry for me, but it doesn’t get too hot if smoked at a moderately slow pace. If you push it too hard the alcohol will become more noticeable and start to bite. You won’t have to baby it and it doesn’t need too many relights. Very mild with not much nicotine. Not very full flavored but nice and subtle.

Not great, not terrible. Probably dead center for me. More of a 2.5 than a 2. Try it out and see how it fairs for you, as this one seems to be all over the place as far as reviews go.

No nicotine, no bite , no gurgle. Similar in taste to Erin Go Bragh in a pouch, which is Irish Whiskey flavored. Room note is OK, my truck had a nice smell when I got back in, not fabulous, but certainly acceptable. Didn't get any of the hazelnut flavor, I wouldn't reorder. Moisture content about perfect.

An aromatic that isn't over the top, has a pleasant flavor and burns well. The nuttiness of the Burley comes through the subtle flavorings of Irish Mist and Frangelica. It's a tobacco that isn't overly complex and that could be an all day smoke. No tongue bite and burns clean and without goop. Overall a decent blend.

This is an excellent smelling tobacco in the jar and the room note is extremely pleasant, if you like hazelnut. I wanted to like this from the start, but it took a lot of fiddling with my technique and equipment to get it just right. I would get an fantastic flavor filled puff or two on the front end and it would quickly start to taste ashy, slowed my cadence to no effect. Last night I decided to try it with a filter and the results were great. The Irish cream and hazelnut were came through well from the top of the bowl to the bottom effortlessly. As a caveat, I am new again to pipe smoking, after a long (15 year) inexcusable and unacceptable absence.
