Got some more tins for IPSD. It’s my buddy’s birthday, so we went to the local smoke shop in Costa Mesa for some fine tobacco products, He got a couple sweet stogies while I went for the C&D.

    Two dissimilar Cornell & Diehl blends, one an English/Oriental/Turkish Virginia blend, the other a popular aromatic. Your tastes appear eclectic.

    Autumn Evening is nice smoke.  Rather enjoyed that this past November with some 12-year Glenlivet.

    @motie2 I keep a pretty diverse stock on hand. Being a novice smoker, I want to absorb a lot of different tastes for my pallet. Aromatics are awesome, but I can see myself smoking something like The Cornishman from The Country Squire as an all day smoke. It’s probably my favorite English Blend right now.

    Just tried Autumn Evening recently. It is good, but a little too heavily cased for my taste. But I'm thinking about getting a tin anyway, as I could see myself being in the mood for it once in a blue moon. It has an amazing room note, though.

    @Woobie - Let the Autumn Evening dry out some and you may like it better. When you get it, open the tin and re-cover it with the plastic lid. Let it set for a week and then try it again.

    @Woobie -- another De Gustibus situation. <<".....it (Autumn Evening)is good, but a little too heavily cased for my taste.>>

    I abandoned Autumn Evening because there was not enough casing, or flavoring, or whatever. 
    It was too much tobacco flavor for me, a Sutliff sissy.
    I sent the almost full tin to @ghostsofpompeii, who enjoyed it..... No sissy he.
    De Gustibus.........

    @PappyJoe the bowl I had was from a tin that had been opened for some time. But when I buy my own, I'll be sure to heed your advice.

    @motie2 I happen to love the taste of -good- tobacco, but I appreciate that many, maybe most, people do not. I love the fact that there is more than one tobacco out there for the smoker who craves a Latakia or Perique bomb, something for the guy who just wants to smoke cherry cough syrup, and everything in between for the rest of us.

    Speaking of Perique bombs, I have been jonesing for some Chenet's Cake. Mmmm

    @motie2 No sissy - but Autumn Evening is no where near as satisfying as our usual heavily cased and super sweet aromatics we normally enjoy. I find that the best way for me to enjoy this is by mixing it with Sutliff blends like Rum and Maple, Maple Walnut, or Sunset Rum ... then it's more to my liking. I've even mixed in a bit of Barbados Plantation, although I don't like wasting my Barbados Plantation as a blending tobacco.
