About This Pipe Tobacco

Cornell & Diehl's Small Batch: Sansepolcro is a unique, one-of-a-kind Virginia blend showcasing the finest leaf from both sides of the Atlantic. Grounding the mixture is a selection of exotic KY171 Italian Dark-Fired Kentucky — grown, cured, and double-fermented on a small farm in the Sansepolcro region of Italy, which boasts a history and tradition of tobacco cultivation dating to the 17th century. Elevating this historic leaf are superlative grades of Red and Bright Virginias, and the perfect amount of unsweetened Dominican Black Cavendish, and the entire blend is pressed for seven days to marry the flavors before being sliced into delicate flakes. The result is a complex, alluring smoke with notes of mellow citrus and undertones of soft, earthy, clove-like spice.

Probably my top blend from 2024

Product: Cornell & Diehl Sansepolcro 2oz
I snagged a lot of small batch in 2024, and basically cracked open every tin immediately to dive in, and this one definitely stood out for me. Medium bodied with a nice nicotine slap from the dark fired if you're into that. Room note, I'm told, was very favorable to the nonsmokers who were in my sphere of influence at the time as well. I liked it so much I immediately went back to my B&M to snag a few more tins to put away for a rainy day. I'll definitely jump on this if they ever release another version of it....Read More
Another small batch, another winner

I got to say, hats off to c/d. I really enjoy the small batches they put out and have yet to have one that wasn't interesting and blended beautfully.. this one is no different.
I decided to get it after seeing it listed clovelike spice in the description, ive seen clove being listed on a few oth
er blends but always felt disappointed by the blending and always found them to be lacking in some way. Not so for this one, from the blending, to the quality of the leaf, packaging, not to mention the price, it's a real winner. The tin note is fairly subtle which is a change from the usual punch to the face most blends give you when opening a new tin, hints of tobacco and spice, but have no fear the flavor is all there. What i like about it is it really embraces the bitterness of the warming spice flavors with just enough underlying sweetness to make it pleasant. A real hard line to walk but for my palette it does it well.
Clove is probably the most appropriate description but had I not read that I probably would have described it as somewhere inbetween All Spice and nutmeg, but clove fits just as well. Whatever you call it I thoroughly enjoyed it. Suggest you grab 1 or 3 while they last!

The Tasting Notes video sold me on this. That, and Cornell & Diehl never disappoint. Going to make some pancetta pasta and talk with my hands all night when I smoke this!
It's...different

I feel I have smoked this enough times to give a fair review, and its...ok. There are not a lot of "bright" flavors in this blend to me, and it has a fairly heavy "dark" note that does not deviate much. I also pick up on a sort of umami taste that seems more mushroomy to me than anything else, and which I have never experienced in any other blend. Its not my favorite, but it is different. I do not detect any appreciable virginia sweetness, and the taste is steady and all the way down. Needs few relights, and is stronger than most other small batch releases in the nic department. Its not one of the C&D releases I have enjoyed, unlike most of the other offerings. Your milage may vary....Read More
