Cornell & Diehl Black Gold Maple

Black Gold Maple is a ribbon-cut aromatic combining black cavendish with golden Virginia's natural maple flavoring. Cornell & Diehl markets the blend as a smoke intended for autumn. Cavendish provides sweetness and softness while Virginia keeps the blend's dry, grassy side alive, preventing the smoke from turning into a flat, uniformly sugary composition. Nicotine strength is low, and room-note intensity is moderate for its category; the aroma stays more in the background than filling the room. Flavor level, however, is pronounced, with the maple note carrying through the bowl.
