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.

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!

VaPer Delight
Not going to write a long review but will just say the tin note is amazing and this stuff is a great smoke. I am planning to cellar a lot deeper than I have already. Grab a few times and wait a couple of years, the moisture content is great and flakes are perfect for a fold & stuff. Cellar deep and enjoy mates!
