Cornell & Diehl Nutty Irishman

What a treat! Upon cracking open the tin I noted the frangelico and Irish mist right off the bat. First bowl was delicious mild smoke, about half way I notice I needed to slow down just a bit. The "one who loves me" loves both frangelico and Irish Mist and therefore has given "the nod" of tin & room note approval. This, for now, has become my #2 go to blend.

This is a nice mild smoke. It is slightly sweety without a sugary or overwhelming taste. The room note is pleasant and mild. It has great flavor without overdoing the flavors of each ingredient.

Nutty Irishman has a delicious tin aroma that's not that far off from their newest Mixture Monster Blend in that it has a Toffee, Cream aroma. Taste is the same without a bite which is extraordinary for an aromatic that is this moist and delicious smelling, Recommended for aromatic Cavendish smokers, you guys will really appreciate C&D's use of fine leaf and top shelf toppings.

Taste like Butterbeer for any universal fans out there. A nice warm butterscotch from the charing light till about half way. The nuttiness really comes through at the bottom. Great smoke on a cold night

This is a review of the Bulk version. I have heard that the tin is different from the bulk. The pouch note is sweet and woodsy. The moisture level was fine and there is a dark chocolate kind of tone to it. Admittedly, I have had nither Irish Mist nor Frangelico. The taste, to me, is that of honey and wood. Almost all blends that pass themselves of as nutty seem to be more wood-like. The Cavendish balances things out without turning this into another Black Cavendish blend. It lights well and stays lit. The taste is the same until you reach the last third of he smoke. The sweetness takes a back seat and the Burley comes forward. There is plenty of smoke and the nicotine level is low. The wife says she smells something like cigarettes in it, but she will tolerate it well enough. The ash is fine This will not ghost your pipe and there is really no after-taste. I would recommend this tobacco to someone who has only smoked aromatics and wants to transition slowly. I think it is to flavored to win the approval of an English or pure Virginia smoker. Finally, the last third of the bowl does pair well with coffee.

I normally don't smoke aromatics, but an employee at my local tobacco shop said this was one of his favorite blends so I thought I'd give it a try. Very nice tin note reminiscent of hazlenut-flavored coffee. This flavor also comes out while smoking, but wasn't overwhelming. Especially toward the bottom of the bowl I could taste the burley as well. Very pleasant room note. Goes fine with coffee in the morning, but I likely wouldn't purchase it again. It's fine, but rather run of the mill and nothing to write home about.

It's a pretty good blend. Kind of sweet nutty flavour, no nasty tastes, no bite. Slight bit of nicotine hit, but maybe because I had another pipe not long before it. Good room note. I'd get it again.

It's a decent tasting aromatic, but make no mistake, it is very much an aromatic and not much else. Not wet or goopy. An overall decent smoke of it's genre. Worth trying a tin if you're into aromatic tobaccos.
