A blend of proprietary Red Virginia Cavendish with a noticeable maple taste makes up Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening, a mild-to-medium fragrant pipe tobacco. Widely regarded as one of C&D's most well-liked aromatic blends, it is commended for its pleasing room note and flavour that strikes a balance between natural tobacco and a hint of sweetness.

Sweet Virginia base: The Red Virginia Cavendish offers a naturally sweet, creamy base with hay, dark fruit, and citrus flavours.

Maple topping: A hint of sweetness and depth are added by the subtly added maple flavour. Some people have compared it to maple sugar or freshly prepared pancakes.

Taste balance: One important aspect of this mix is that the original tobacco flavour behind the casing is still detectable.

Absence of chemical aftertaste: According to reviews, the mix has no chemical aftertaste.
