Cornell & Diehl: Sun Bear Mountain Flower 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0355

The perfect summertime smoke, Cornell & Diehl's Small Batch: Sun Bear Mountain Flower combines top-tier Bright Virginias with two distinct varietals of matured Oriental leaf. Natural casings of silver tequila and elderflower complement these tobaccos, alongside a drizzle of raw, unpasteurized honey to elevate the leaf's inherent sweetness and floral notes.

While previous iterations have featured honey from various farms, including the personal hives of C&D's head blender Jeremy Reeves, 2022's edition further augments the blend with ethically sourced wildflower and blackberry honey from a family-owned apiary in Morganton, NC — a community that Cornell & Diehl called home for over 20 years. The organic Mountain Flower honey complements Sun Bear's tobaccos, elevating their fruity and floral notes for a bright, refreshing character and a creamy rounded finish.

Despite its unique casings, Sun Bear: Mountain Flower is not an Aromatic but a complex Virginia/Oriental flake with both top and bottom notes of mutual sweetness. It appeals to pipe smokers across the smoking spectrum without targeting an individual flavor profile and is a rare summertime treat that every smoker can open and enjoy immediately or purchase in multiple tins for premium aging potential.

One time alert?

Skunked again. Once more the one time alert just alerts me to it being sold out…again. I’d love to try this.

Revising my review:

I FINALLY scored a couple of tins of this- not from here as the one time alert feature on this site comes waaaay too late to really be any use- but from anot
her site.

This really is a wonderful blend. I can see why it’s popular and gets hoarded- I mean sells out so soon.

It’s very unique and IMHO worth the hype. I can really get the honey and a floral note- the latter is more like dried summer flowers and sweet mown hey. And then the delightful tobacco notes. It did NOT disappoint!

It's a really beautiful blend. Soft and warm are the orientals against the citrusy Virginias. A very light berry scent moves in and out. Another component that I've found in Visions of Celephais and Palmetto Balkan appears in MF as well: sawed wood. It's lovely. I hope the free and independent people of Taiwan love it as much as I do....Read More

Tin note of honey, flowers and tangy dark dried fruit. Tobacco is a flake of a marbled dark brown, brown and tan. Moisture content is good, few pipe smokers will want to dry it. Rubs out easily. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Silver Tequila, Elderflower and Honey. Elderflower and honey play in the background most of the time. I couldn't discern the tequila. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with notes of elderflower, spices, dry herbal, stewed mildly sweet dark fruit, honey, peaty vegetation, fermented sour, earthy, tangy citrus, bready, wood, grassy, slightly spicy, orange peel, a floral sweet hay background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Virginia and Flavoring (Casing) supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

To Be informed why are you so rude? The blend is great as always coming from C&D. I got mine and evidently you got some too just review the tobacco and stop being concerned about people who didn't...

Every once in a while, Cornell & Diehl release a small batch that truly stands out amongst the others. This is one of those occasions! The flavor is quite unique to describe but if you like aromatics, I'd recommend this one! GREAT "outside of the box" blending. Additionally, I've been a subscribing member since 2016 and I've missed out on some blends myself - so I empathize with those of you who missed this release. If one works as first responder, health care, military, and a few other career fields - then due to the demands of that work and family, the unfortunate miss of a release is going to happen and it's not ignorance but rather your job has high demands....Read More
