(3.38)
Cornell & Diehl pays tribute to our African-American sailors with a flavorful blend dedicated to the crew of the Mason, the first US Navy ship in WWII manned by an all black enlisted crew. A combination of Virginias and Burley with a touch of Latakia and Perique topped off with a sprinkle of Brandy for room note.

Well, I'm glad the previous reviewers liked this mixture, and I, in no way wish to diminish their take, on this smoke. My take, is a bit less enthusiastic. The first smell upon opening the tin, is that burnt rubber smell of Latakia. This stuff smells, and tastes like perfume....cheap perfume. I discovered, that if you leave the tin open for 2 or 3 days, to air dry, it will eliminate, most, of the perfume "stank", and then, you're left with a rather strong Burley, but smokable. On the "plus" side, my wife likes the "smell", so maybe I'll give it to her, and she can huff it, straight out of the tin. This stuff, is an insult to my garbage can.
