Cornell & Diehl: Firebird Flake 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0360

Cornell & Diehl's Small Batch: Firebird Flake explores the interplay between sun-cured and fire-cured tobaccos, specifically heirloom Orientals and Dark-Fired grades, two condimental varietals that rarely act as the main components in a blend. These tobaccos are enhanced by a trio of specially aged Red Virginias for a complex yet beautifully balanced profile with hints of citrus, wood smoke, and green pepper.

America First
January 15, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Firebird Flake 2oz
With such a small batch release, why not just offer it to your American customers only? Opening the floodgates to international customers is like trying to feed the world with a handful of rice with such a number of tins available. If I were Jesus I could and would do it, like the fish miracle in the Bible. But I'm not Jesus. Let's take care of our hardworking Americans first....Read More
I guess Smoking Pipes does not care about their customers...

Twice I have seen reviews deleted off this listing. This is disgusting, and is nothing less than censorship. Smokingpipes clearly doesn't care about their customers, or their opinions. I, for one, will be taking my business elsewhere. For good. Extremely disappointed in the way this company operates. UPDATE: To Andrew H and a few others: You clearly didn't read a word I wrote, because if you had you would know I said nothing about the actual tobacco, which I'm sure will be great as Jeremy is a genius. What I did say is that I find it very disturbing and rather disgusting that smokingpipes deleted reviews TWICE on this listing. TWICE! Each time there were many many people saying the same thing I am. If they hadn't deleted all of those, it would have given you all some more context, but they did, because they don't care about what we have to say as customer. I stand by what I said, its wrong and I'm done with them. If you look at the comments posted now, I see at least two reviews asking why their earlier reviews were deleted. I highly doubt SP will respond to any of them....bunch of cowards.....Read More

It’s unfortunate that his work is being undervalued because of constant complaining.
10 is too many and 1 is too few

I’ll make this simple.
With such a small release, 5000 tins, a 10 tin limit was way too much. This should’ve been a 5 tin limit so more pipe smokers would get a chance to get some. Please SmokingPipes, for any release with 5000 or less, lower the limit.

With that said, I can’t wait for m
y 6 tins to get here next week!...Read More
First Impressions
January 15, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Firebird Flake 2oz
Man, I liked this from the first bowl. I have had a few bowls now, and the flavor is out of this world to me. I love the taste of tobacco though--without any flavorings. While this may have some casings or toppings (I do not know)--I do know that its a rich and flavorful pipe full. 
 This will definitely be enjoyed while I have it!...Read More

Beautifully cut flakes, perhaps a bit more dense than C&D's usual flake offerings, and certainly more moist, benefiting from some drying time. Though the flakes have a pronounced smoky aroma in the tin, the dark fired is by no means overpowering in the smoke, and is so expertly blended that it never seems to jump out at you throughout the bowl. Burns remarkably slow. Spicy and dark woody aromas in the retrohale tickle your nasal cavities and a mellow sweetness lingers in the mouth. I think C&D do burley (DF is fire cured burley, if I'm not mistaken) better than anyone in the industry, and this offering once again convinces me that pipe tobacco is not pipe tobacco without some type of burley in it. I think this tobacco will really sing in the spring and summer and I look forward to smoking it then. In the meantime I'll continue filling my house with this intoxicating fragrance. Thanks to C&D, JR, and SmokingPipes for this amazing blend....Read More
Hoarding hobby

Product: Cornell & Diehl Firebird Flake 2oz
This is a great offering for hoarders and grubby secondary market people. I once heard a YouTuber call pipe smokers, “gentleman all”. Not the case…Smoking Pipes should be more considerate of the fact some of their customers just want to be able to try it out.
Pathetic

This is to replace the comment that smokingpipes deleted. Fix you sales problem, don't try to cover it up.
Why was my comment deleted?
January 15, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Firebird Flake 2oz
I see that my comment was deleted. Is there a particular reason?
The negativity of the comments wasn't directed at the product itself, but rather at the failure on the part of the business.
If you're going to sell such a limited product, reconsider your approach. Allowing people to buy ten ti
ns per purchase is sure to upset your customer base.
Bad business practice if you intend on keeping loyal customers around.

Maybe next time

Product: Cornell & Diehl Firebird Flake 2oz
I tried, but I didn't succeed. Life goes on. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. There were only 5,000 tins available, not all at SP, so I knew it would be difficult to get a tin. But that won't stop me from continuing to buy my tobacco from SP. I've always had good experiences with SP and that's what counts for me. The good customer service has helped me many times, and because it wasn't a good fit now, I won't be buying anywhere else. A suggestion for the really small batches: a raffle beforehand and all could be well....Read More
