Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers
(2.77)
A delightful aromatic blend of burleys and black cavendish infused with the flavor of pomegranate, an exotic fruit originally from the middle East that was a particular favorite in the 18th Century and found growing on the grounds of Mt. Vernon, Monticello and around the homes of other Founding Fathers.

whelp....its certainly an aromatic. I tried, and i guess as aro's go its not bad at all. But mostly the tobacco lacks distinction, and while the idea for this blend is intriguing, i cant imagine Ill buy more.

I get a fruity flavor I found out that it was pomegranate but I really don’t get pomegranate out if it it was a nice smooth smoke easy to light and a constant burn I think it’s burley and black cavendish it’s a nice easy smoke not terribley impressive but very consistent I have had a good time with what I’ve smoked of my tin I would recommend that it at least be tried especially for beginners all the flavor is up front and there isn’t a whole lot of depth to be missed

I've liked or loved every C&D tobacco I've tried up until this one but Founding Fathers falls a bit short of the others. Overall this tobacco burns well and provides a decent smoke. It is mild in every sense of the word, a little nicotine, a little flavor (on the retro), a little sugar, a little nuttieness. It is a nice creamy smoke that fills the mouth. If you like a mild smoke this coud easily be an all day smoke for you, if you are after a bit more from your time with the pipe I'd move on.

This tobacco burned incredibly well and required very few relights. The pomegranate flavoring was fairly noticeable and at times a bit overpowering, causing a little bitterness. There were some notes of cream, nuts, and a bit of earth and pepper.
