Cornell & Diehl: Carolina Red Flake 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0225

A blend of the finest heirloom Red Virginias from historic Old Belt growing regions, Carolina Red Flake is Cornell & Diehl's tribute to the traditions and heritage of the old tobacco country. Honoring this legacy, 2024's edition showcases a trio of premium flue-cured varietals, including 2022 Red-Orange tips (13.53% sugar), 2019 North Carolina Reds (10% sugar), and the impressive Georgian-grown GA-JRL-19 (17.72% sugar) grade.

Combining a hay-like grassiness with naturally sweet, tangy notes, Carolina Red Flake is a minimalist blend with a complex flavor: rich, deep, and earthy with hints of dried fruits and citrus.

Sweeter this year?
February 22, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
There is not that mich to add or write about this small batch.
All of you will know (more or less) what you will get. A solid and nice tobacco.

This year it seems that CD went more on the sweet side because this tobacco miss the spice and vinegar taste from the last years.

Neverthel
ess, this is another solid CRF release, which smokes cool, clean and with nearly the smiliar taste profile as every year.

I will let it age a bit in the hope it will become better.

This tobacco is the story of how good a Virginia tobacco can be. It’s the land, the soil, the best a land can produce.
2024 Batch

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
Perhaps it’s me but the 2024 Carolina Red Flake doesn’t have the same piquant spiciness found in the 2022 release, which remains my favorite of the lot (I missed out on the 2023 batch). The 2024 CRF has a slightly different composition than that used in 2022 and seems a tad smoother by comparison. It’s still an exceptional red Virginia flake; rich and flavorful with a fuller body than most. It just lacks that certain zing or whatever it was that made the 2022 batch so compelling and enjoyable to me. A slight disappointment as I was hoping for a repeat of that wonderful year....Read More

For just a mixture of different red Virginia's this blend brings alot to the table. The lower sugar content on these years crops had me surprised at times when I felt like I was tasting powdered sugar. Some of the bowl felt like a nice spice element was in there with bread notes and fruits. Overall it's great fresh but I can't wait to see how this ages in the coming years....Read More
Amazing

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
I bought 4 tins, stoved 2 at 190 degrees for 2 hours, let em sit for 3 weeks before opening, microwaved one for a few seconds & pressed it in a noodle press for a week sitting at 90 degrees. I left one stoved tin in a jar unpressed. Left one tin unopened & am smoking an opened tin.The crumble cake from the pressed tin is spectacular. Will probably let it sit for a few months to uncompress a bit and merry more flavor. Dark fruit, molasses, sweet grass, and more complexity, smoothness, and cooler burning dominate the stoved, pressed reds. Fresh from the tin is everything youd expect from a sweet C&D Red Carolina flake tin, fresh hay, citrus, a bit of fruit with a great all around sweet tobacco finish. Great batch in ‘24 for sure....Read More
Unique Taste of CRF 2024!!!
October 10, 2024
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
The 2024 edition of CRF offering a new dimension of balanced taste and harmony.I totally agree with the tamed down of the zesty tanginess of this one compares to the previous years releases.But this one definitely bringing the new aura of unique Red Virginia taste that more to a smoother,darker,creamy and slight nuttiness with a harmony of caramelized medium taste of sweetness, whispering tang of dark fruity zest, smokey,hay,bready,herbal vegetation interplays,nice spice in the retrohale and detectable change of characters between the different puffing cadence which I found very interesting!Simply a new sophisticated approach!
Perfect moisture content right out of the tin, very nice flakes as usual,easy to prepare and packs easily.Very smooth thick cool billowing smokes throughout the bowl with minimal relights.
Medium taste and low to medium nicotine punch.
An another winner for 2024 and a perfect all day smokes!Gentlemen...enjoy!

Dried Fruit & Spice

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
If you enjoy dried fruit notes with a little pepper on the retrohale, you will really like this blend. The tin aroma has subtle raisin notes and the tobacco comes out to a perfect humidity for smoking right away.
Great
