Cornell & Diehl: Milk & Honey: Halav U' Duash 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Fans of Cornell and Diehl may not be familiar with William Serad, but they may know his work. A longtime friend of C&D founder Craig Tarler, the two were frequent collaborators. Serad is responsible for creating several classic blends such as Cross-Eyed Cricked and Red Carpet. William was also a friend of the rabbi Ira Stone, who loved Burley, Oriental and Perique mixtures and asked Serad to put together some blends for him. Those blends eventually became the Hebraica series, each featuring the rabbi's favored components. Each blend in the series was named by Stone, inspired by the language and spirituality of Jewish tradition.

Halav U'Duash, or Milk and Honey in English, contains a base of black and red Virginia Cavendish mixed with Burley and dark-fired Kentucky, rounded out with a touch of Perique, Oriental leaf, and light aromatic toppings prepared in an easy-smoking ribbon cut. In 2022, Cornell and Diehl established an exclusive partnership with 31 Farms to provide smokers with access to 100% St. James Perique, now included in every blend that contains the unique varietal.
