Cornell and Diehl's Bayou Morning Flake is a strong Virginia and Perique blend. While most Virginia and Perique blends are sweet, tangy, and light this blend is a dark and rich departure from the type. The dark chunks are made of twenty five percent Perique and a mixture of Virginias. The blend is strong and full flavored, yet displays a surprising delicacy. Far more than an entry level Va/Per, this blend is an experienced piper's blend.

Fantastic, easy smoke
What I received isn't what I would call a flake. It was very broken up. However not a deal breaker, especially after smoking it. The date on the tin says it was packed about 6 months ago. What an absolutely incredible smoke! Burns well, minimal relights, and smokes very cool. The taste is incredible! I'm not going to throw words like bready or grassy out there, I'm just going to say the flavor is strong and very good. Leaves you very satisfied.

not a bad choice
First time trying this, I found it to be a pleasant experience to smoke, it ended up being an all-day smoke. I would like to try it again soon.

Bayou Morning Flake
Absolutely love BMF from C and D. Seems a bit stronger than the ribbon cut. If you are a perique fan you’ve got to try this!

Bayou Morning Flake
Great Va/Per. Darker, richer, fuller than the ribbon cut, flakes break up effortlessly - facilitating a faster dry time and smoking experience. For the price point and availability this is a great Virginia/Perique blend that needs to be tried at least once.

NECESSARY
One of the highest peaks for Virginia/Perique lovers!

good blend
The flake is very nice, good right from the tin. I do let it sit a while in a bowl to get the most from the flavor. Burns well, once fully lit. Great flavor! For the advanced Enthusiast and the Adventurous Rookie. power level medium/high but the flavor is worth it!

A must in the morning (or anytime of the day)
A slow, cool, delicious, down to ashes tobacco. I really enjoy it with a cup of coffee. Very forgiving and does not require many relights, smokes well in any pipe you use. Since I first bought it has been a regular and I always have an extra tin to avoid running out.

Take me to the Bayou, boys
This one leaped to the top of my VaPer list, which is small. I tend to like English type blends mostly, but in the mornings I enjoy a Virginia type in a corn cob. This is a superb smoke. It smells heavenly and smokes cool and smooth. It's a bit damp, so you can air it out for a few if you wish.

First Parique Virginia Blend
Well, this was my first Parique Virginia blend and I think it was a really good one to start with! The tin note is unbelievable! It smelled of figs, earth and perhaps a little bit of morning dew. The flake is broken up and I did not rub it out, just packed my pipe and began to puff away. It smoked cool and has an aroma that reminds me of a cool morning in the deer woods. A dozen or so bowls later and it continues to only get better! The moisture was absolutely perfect right out of the tin! This will definitely be one I always keep on hand! I’m looking forward to cellaring a few tins, I can only imagine how good they’ll be!
