Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings Pipe Tobacco

This is one of the first aromatics I bought when I started pipe smoking, and it holds up to this day. A beautiful mix of orientals and a nice sour note from the Virginias. With a very subtle sweetness. An excellent year round smoke

This blend really is as advertised, it’s all there. I do look for a bit more sweetness with these types of blends, however, which is what kept it at a 4 for me. Maybe aging will provide that more to it.

I have to say I totally agree with George's review from 10/10/21. The tobacco is a bit dry in the tin. I'm on my third bowl and can't seem to squeeze much flavor from this blend. For reference, I'm no stranger to Cornell & Diehl and have enjoyed some of their other offerings. I'm inclined to think this may be a bad batch. The tin date is recent 8/11/21. Young, yes, but I doubt aging the tin would have caused much more, if any flavor to appear. I'll be looking for a different holiday blend.

The flavor description what grabbed me, I favor the holiday style aromas/taste so this year when "We Three Kings" was offered I jumped at the chance... Once the tin arrived, I opened and took my first smell and I could not really tell the allspice or cinnamon and could not smell any of the vanilla at all. Trying to not be judgmental due to the tin note, I noticed that this was dryer than many of the other C&D blends I had purchased (it did have some stems and pieces in the tin which is abnormal in my previous C&D experience). Filling the pipe and lighting up, I did not get any of the flavors, just tobacco although the room note was pleasant, it was not the notes that was promised. With there being less and less Christmas blends as there were in the past, I had high hopes and was very disappointed. I smoked another bowl the next day to see if my thoughts changes, they did not. I have jarred the rest of this and will try it again after it ages to see if anything occurs after time passes. If it's the same when I try it again, into the trashcan this goes... I may have gotten a bad tin, and in my heart I hope I did... Looks like its Sutliff Christmas Spice again this year!

Really enjoying this tobacco. Really good smoke. Really enjoy this tobacco.

Very aromatic seasonal scent of vanilla, allspice, and cinnamon. Hints of Cavendish and turkish leaf. Very flavorful and enjoyable.

Like the smell ,and the taste,would recommend trying this one. Has a mellow taste

We Three Kings is a smooth blend you can enjoy anytime. The taste of vanilla stays with you as your bowl burns down. Great blend from Cornell & Diehl.

Nice blend, to smoke all year round, smooth and no bite. The best thing though is the great people at Tobacco Pipes. Always helpful and appreciate your business. Thank you very much.
