This is what Sophisticated American Blending Tastes Like
June 14, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
I have, so far, been disappointed in the raw, dusty, burley-heavy American tobacco scene when it comes to Virginias, with the exception of McClelland.
But this is wonderful, composed, but with that American "rawness" readily available. It ... Read More
comes across in the nose, a bready, earthy, simple dried plant essence, but instead of dominating the tobacco, it's a top note to a composed, gentle, and fresh red Virginia. Yeah the dried fruits are there along with the citrus and hay, the traditional red VA flavors. Interestingly fir a low note there is a hint of cocoa and for a mouthfeel an almost soapy astringency... but very pleasant. Different than almost any flake I've smoked. The only drawback is, because it is so easy to burn evenly, and comes in the tin ready to pack, it does burn a little fast for most flake users--and it is a little difficult to really get a rhythm with it that will reveal all the flavors. Definitely a flake for your small pipes, I am damn glad I bought several tins of this before it disappeared forever.
Bring it back, C&D, as a permanent offering, and you have at least one lifetime customer. Read Less
A Strong & Tasty Red Virginia - Nothing Better
May 25, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
This is a broken flake tobacco... can be smoked as is or rubbed out into its course cut condition & has a long burn rate. Very satisfied with the flavor & appreciated the extra strength. One medium or even a smaller bowl would be enough to sa... Read More
tisfy the Vitamin N necessity of any piper. This is probably not an all day smoke for many but can certainly be enjoyed on a daily basis, being much closer to the strong side in the medium to strong classification, especially toward the last third. It is much better in a deeper bowl & provides you with a long, cool burning smoke session... like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going & going, getting stronger and tastier as the smoke wafts over the lower portion of the tobacco in your bowl. Dried properly, it burns down to a fine grey ash with very little moisture to contend with, depending on the quality of your pipe which has a lot to do with gurgle & moisture content. Read Less

November 17, 2018

The tobacco is in a broken flake like the last batch and looks great. There is a dark sweet fruit presence and no hay hint. This looks like a great VA and should age well.

Compared to the 2020 edition, which was broken flake all red virginia at 8.6% sugar, THIS 2022 edition is a red-orange virginia mix and has 13.6% sugar, a 60%+ improvement. Comparing visually to my now 2 year old 2020 edition, I notice that the small... Read More
intact flakes of this year are more visually appealing, and the initial smell is better I feel. I have a couple vintages of Carolina Red Flake, as well as Red Flake w/ Perique and out of all of them I believe this year is the one to cellar and will have the most value in the future both in quality of taste and probably resale.

Fine, Sweet Tang Of The Carolina Old Belt

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
Through all my wide-ranging sampling of Cornell & Diehl blends, I’ve never been disappointed. And this latest indulgence was no different. Though I steer far more toward burley and dark-fired Kentucky, I do appreciate Virginias when blended right. Th... Read More
is medium-strength, medium-flavored blend hit the mark like other C&D small-batch offerings. Jeremy Reeves confined himself to a limited medium: just painting with Virginia leaf (from one of America’s greatest tobacco regions, the Carolina Old Belt) and nothing else. There are no nutty burleys or sweetly sour Orientals to his behind, like improperly smoked meat can hide behind a strong barbecue sauce. And still, that blender maestro rendered a fine work of tobacco art. The hay is indeed present but what’s most notable is the sweetness of the Virginias and the tang of citrus (somewhere between orange and lemon) and I did confirm it—cranberries. Here’s to C&D, and Jeremy, you are the man! 4.5 stars. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
I’ve now come to understand about the mixed product reviews on certain tobaccos so my review will be on the 2020 batch that just happens to be exactly two years old today. To clarify, I ordered two tins of the 2022 batch and am hoping for more. To ke... Read More
ep shipping costs down, I also grabbed a new Peterson Aran X105 with nickel band. I love Peterson Billiards and have examples of all the common sizes, including another X105. I decided before the new stuff showed up that i’d set it aside not knowing how it might change in a couple of years. As I was putting it away, I noticed some other tins of Carolina Red Flake and pulled out the oldest to try. The tin date is 9/15/20 so it’s almost exactly two years old. The tin was slightly swollen but that proved to be of no concern. The tin note is very subtle. A soft aroma of fruit and tobacco would best describe it. The Flakes seemed a bit on the dry side but as flake tobacco goes, the moisture content proved to be spot on and after shredding about three flakes and loading my new pipe, which had only seen one use and that of unadulterated burley, I lit up. The charring light was unremarkable, I let it go out, tamped it down and gave it a good light. The X105 isn’t a huge pipe but it took over an hour to get through this trial bowl and I must say that there was nothing bad about it at all. As a matter of fact, it was very enjoyable. The aroma is mild and the taste is of best quality Red Virginia; smooth, no bite and delicious…and this is out of a brand new pipe. To Peterson’s credit, I’ve occasionally run across one that is near perfect from the first bowl and this seems to be one of them. I write while I smoke and absentmindedly puff away continuously with little regard for the pipe. I couldn’t ignore the fine tobacco flavor or coolness of the smoke. I’ll hope that my 2021 batch and fresh 2022 batch turn out as well. Next time I’ll buy more. And if more of the 2022 becomes available, I’ll add a couple more tins and wonder how it’s gonna taste in 2024. The growers should get a blue ribbon for their efforts and Jeremy continues to be as good as they get with his work. I love it when things come out right. Read Less

The best tobacco for a new smoker or veteran smoker
October 16, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz

r those who don't like cigars or cigarrets. Taste is actually while mild on the palette. Hints of baked rasins on the sides of the tongue with no bite. A good mulberry rush on a fresh light, with that raisin, oak and almost roasted pumpking back notes after the first light. There's never a big mystery why this sells out so fast. One of THE best flake tobacco you can ever smoke and worthy of storing long term in your humidor for those special occasions. If you are lucky enough to buy in bulk, it would be luxurious every day smoke. 10 starts out of 5 for me. Can't get any better than this. Read Less

co smell, I took the edge of some of the medium cut flakes and stuffed the bowl without rubbing out. The moisture content is perfect, given the low density of my packing method, I packed it pretty tightly, smoothed the top and fired it up. After the charring light, I tamped it again and lit up for real. What an instantly pleasurable smoke it is. Moderately strong tobacco flavor with a nice grassy note and good thick smoke. Did the one hour drive to my favorite BBQ place, let the pipe go out and had some excellent hickory smoked wings before my return trip. Tamped the partially smoked bowl and drove into the mountains enjoying every puff for another half hour. Full flavor and a bit of sweetness were right there all the way down. Its easy to keep lit, has no bite and is, in my opinion, the best Virginia I’ve ever smoked. On the way home I decided I’d better order another three more tins as I could see that it will get smoked. My thanks to the farmers that grew it and to Jeremys hard working staff for prepping it into a very nice flake. It needs nothing but a good pipe, a match and an hour or two of relaxed smoking.

uding two Savinelli "Bing's Favorite" long-stemmed Billiards, a couple of Brighams and a couple of other pipes I pulled from the rack from rotation.
Delightful, easy-smoking, good flavor and room notes. One hint...Light the "load" smoke for a bit..maybe 3-4 minutes and then set the pipe down. When it is cool to the touch, relight. The flavor and aroma becomes much more pronounced...the Perique notes are more prominent and the Carolina Red Flake mellows the experience out.
Certainly glad I bought two tins. One for now and one to save until C&D makes up another batch.

Just as good, but different, than last year's batch
October 23, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake 2oz
Last year's batch was great, that's why I bought 15 tins of it this time; this year's batch, in my opinion, is just as good, but in a different way. It has more flavor and is sweeter even though the percentage sugar on the tin is about the same as it... Read More
was last year. Probably the only complaint I would have if I had one is that the enhanced sweetness reduces it's "bite" and I like the bite a lot, that's why I mostly smoke untopped straight VA's and burleys (with the exception of LC Santee). So I guess it's a tradeoff. Hopefully 15 tins, along with the C&D Interlude, Burley Flake #2, and Low Country Santee that I also smoke, will be enough to last me until it comes out again next year.

blends and VaPers so there is always some residual flavor influence.
That set-up out of the way, I am very glad to have ordered a sufficient quantity of this Small Batch. I pick up nose of cut grass with an oaky overtone and a finish of a touch of what I can only describe as an autumn morning.
The smoke is light on the tongue and if my supply was not constrained by this C&D offering likely not becoming part of their "stable" of blends, it would be one of my go-to tobaccos.
