About This Pipe Tobacco

The 2025 edition of Cornell & Diehl's Carolina Red Flake with Perique is a masterful tribute to the United States' historic Old Belt growing region, featuring two exquisite Red Virginia grades alongside genuine St. James Parish Perique from C&D's exclusive farm in Louisiana.

Grown, harvested, cured, and barrel-aged all at 31 Farms — a single, family-owned farm in the heart of St. James Parish, Louisiana — C&D's authentic Perique contributes unparalleled richness and complexity, ranging from deep stone fruit notes to bold, piquant spice. This rare varietal — the rarest in the world, in fact — combines with several top-tier flue-cured grades, including heirloom 2013 Mahogany leaf from Virginia; 2017 Red Virginias from North Carolina; and matured 2019 Orange leaf from Georgia. Together, these impeccable Virginia grades empower a kaleidoscope of complementary flavors, from baked goods and warming spices to brighter, citrusy highlights — all elevated by 31 Farms' Perique.

Components:

  • Mahogany Virginia from Virginia, United States. (Crop year 2013, 12.00% sugar.)
  • Red Virginia from North Carolina, United States. (Crop year 2017, 12.40% sugar.)
  • Orange Virginia from Georgia, United States. (Crop year 2019, 17.72% sugar.)
  • Red Virginia from North Carolina, United States. (Crop year 2019, 10% sugar.)
  • Orange-Red Virginia Tips from North Carolina, United States (Crop Year 2022, 13.53% sugar.)
  • Genuine Louisiana Perique from C&D's exclusive Perique farm (31 Farms) in St. James Parish.

Carolina Red Flake with Perique is enticingly cellar-worthy, with ample potential for aging. A dream-come-true for Virginia/Perique aficionados as well as a solid prospect for Virginia smokers, this blend is excellent for a range of smoking preferences and perfect for contemplative smoking sessions.

"Balancing deep undertones of port wine and stone fruits with highlights of pepper, spice, and citrus, Carolina Red Flake with Perique is rich, deep, and complex. It's how a Virginia/Perique flake should be."
- Jeremy Reeves, Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl

Thank you SmokingPipes!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
I want to thank SmokingPipes for making such great tobaccos available to the keepers of the pipe smoking flame. Also wanted to say bravo for lowering the limit to 15 tins per day; it keeps the hoarders and resellers at bay and spreads the love around to guys like me who just want a few tins. SmokingPipes is first class in every aspect. Can't wait to try this latest iteration of CRFw/P!...Read More

I was about three or four bowls into this blend and I must say I had a rather blah opinion. Then I dried some out something changed. The sweetness came out and the perique-mellowed out a bit making this blend actually fantastic!my favorite blend being bayou morning flake this is it’s older, sweeter brother....Read More
So delicious

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
I like everything about it. Tin note, color palette, how it breaks apart and the smell it leaves in the air; all of this before it is even lit. IMO, it beats Steamworks. The vinegar note is lovely. The tobacco fires up so easily and the Perique is top notch, hits me where I want it and tastes oh so good all the way through. Bottom of the bowl is heaven in tobacco terms. Glad I stocked this one up with multiple tins for the next couple of years. Can't wait for the sister tin in 2026. It's the Perique, add more please😁....Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
It was good. The flavors were sweet and tangy, but a lot lighter than some other VaPers I’ve had. Still not a bad blend.

Little bit tangy, little bit of char oak, little bit of spiciness, little bit of sweetness. Just a well balance smooth smoke that gets better as you go. No bite and no relights. Love it!
