Cornell & Diehl - Oriental Silk
Oriental Silk = Amazing
Im Smoking Oriental Silk for the first time today, and I think Ive finally found what I've been looking for in a Virginia/Oriental blend. The flavor isn't necessarily a dead ringer for some of my old favorite that are no longer on the market, but there's something about the way the Virginias and Orientals come together that really hit the spot. Its that chocolatey fruitiness, hay a slightly cloying sweetness that feels completely natural than heavily flavored. The main thing is the creaminess that is in the forefront, that reminds me of some of those long lost blends. The cut is a brokenish' flake, best prepared if rubbing it out, and letting it dry for a few minutes. That being said I didn't find it overly moist - It lit easy and stayed lit pretty well. It burns clean all the way down to the end of the bowl. Very good stuff! I will order more.
Seattle Pipe Club - Mississippi River 8oz
Mississippi River.
Im not gonna get all snobby.. if you like good tobacco..then you will probably like this. If you smoke stronger tobaccos, you will find it very mellow, yet pleasing and flavorful. It took me a while to understand Virginia, and im used to the way Mcclelland does Virginia. That being said, this is totally different, flavorful, but at the same time, leaves you wanting more at the end of the a bowl. The tin note smells like Hickory Smoked Bacon.. really sexy hickory smoked bacon...Its not fair to call it a Virginia though.. it has so much more going on.. The Orientals and perique fight with each other, and the Lat is hanging out in the back, just chillin; letting you know every couple of sips, that its still there.. Its great stuff.
