Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake

(3.46)
Named in honor of Pierre Chenet, the farmer credited with discovering the process that turns burley into perique in 1824, this combination of Virginia and perique, pressed into an old-fashioned crumble cake, is a perique powerhouse for those who simply can’t get enough of this “truffle of tobaccos”. Estimated peak: 10-15 years. But it's fantastic right now!

I found this blend very mild. The perique and virginias are balanced so there isn't one over-powering the other. The tasting notes on my palate are: English mustard from the perique, hazel nuts, expresso. I aged it for a year. The moisture level was perfect. It smokes cool and usually to a fine ash. I enjoyed it but didn't find it "strong" or overwhelming or harsh. It's a great blend for those who want a solid Vaper without any bite. The perique I found very mild. If that's what you're after this is a great blend and an enjoyable smoke.

Tin note of stewed sour plums, spiced Rasin bread, and tart dark fruit. The moist marbled reddish tan, brown, and dark brown Krumble Kake breaks apart easily and may need some drying. Burns slow with multiple relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and somewhat consistent, with notes of very earth, very spicy, woody, bread, sour lemon, tangy raisin, mildly floral, mild sweet grass, mild dark chocolate, and a very peppery retro. The evenly matched Perique and Virginias are locked in a grudge match. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

The tin note was a very unexpected odor of barn floor that has a mix of manure and old hay stomped into each other with typical dank barn room odors. A disgusting tin note. I transfered this tobacco into a jar and let it sit for a week before smoking. The tin note didn't change. Smokes cool and ashes right to the bottom. Spicy smoke the entire bowl. Very nice smoke despite the awful tin note. Doesn't seem to be a morning kind of smoke for me. Paired very well with peppermint tea.
