Cornell & Diehl: Folklore 16oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0351

Paying homage to the traditions and customs of cultures across the globe, including those held dearest at Cornell & Diehl, Small Batch Folklore celebrates five distinct flue-cured varietals: deep Mahogany Reds from 2017, lighter Orange-Red leaf from 2019, lemony 2019 Canadian Brights, and a special selection of 2022 North Carolina tips — a beautifully rich, 13.53 percent sugar-content leaf with exceptional body and character.

We've learned some things as we've grown as a company, and we have incorporated a lot of newer elements and an approach to ever-evolving our palette as a brand and ever-evolving our progress as a company. This blend, Folklore, is a tribute to the way that we have developed as a company since the time of our founding.   — Jeremy Reeves, Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl

These top-tier, naturally sweet Virginias are elevated by delicate accompaniments of pure, genuine St. James Parish Perique from Cornell & Diehl's exclusive Perique farm, 31 Farms; lightly smoke-cured Kentucky from 2019; and exotic Indonesian Kasturi leaf from 2015. Pressed and sliced into a 16oz crumble cake, the result is an alluring, fascinating blend unique in its presentation and rich in flavor, offering notes of sweet fruit, citrus, warming spices, and woodsy undertones.

Each 16oz crumble cake comes packaged in a vacuum-sealed bag nestled within a custom-designed gift box.

Another small batch, another large serving of tears
February 01, 2022
By: Paul M.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
Can people not turn this space into another review bombing, sour grapes, petulant, pouty whiney kiddie parade? If you're familiar with these releases, you should know the drill by now and be aware that this stuff sells out fast, so maybe make plans to get it at release time if you want it. There appeared to be a window of three hours after release where it was in stock here (they even had a 1 per person limit). No one cares if you couldn't get it because you were asleep or can't tell time or live at the south pole and had a penguin yeet your alarm clock. Cheers to people that get it and enjoy it- looking forward to constructive reviews. I also look forward to the day when people like Gustavo, White Spot, and Robert grow up and realize that the world doesn't revolve around them and that SP sends emails days in advance with the time and date of these releases-- and that they're not going to change a process that moves their merchandise in record time just so you babies don't dampen your pillows with the tears of what could have been <3....Read More

To the guy from 1 star from Europe, how in the heck is that Smokingpipes fault? If you want something, make arrangements to get it. You snooze, you lose.

Allow me.....

....To write the 1st constructive review other than Mr. Stanion. This will be brief with an update to come, as I just lit the 1st bowl. Bag note is mildly sweet and of dark fruits. 1st puffs are also mildly sweet and peppery. Not over the top with the perique. Just enough tingle. Very satisfying. There was a slug at the end of my brick to even up the pound. So I'll smoke that and likely jar a good portion of this for later. And some for much later. Stay tuned for an update. Can't do the 5 star thing yet. Too early. They left enough of the bag to reseal easily if you're so inclined. For those wondering, I got #216/1000. Been sipping now for a while. 2nd half of the bowl. The spice has ramped a bit. More of a dry sweetness. Roasted nuttiness. Hints of stonefruit have faded to the back. Moisture was great out of the bag. This is nice burning tobacco....Read More

No availability
February 01, 2022

Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
I’m sick and tired of the release of these small batch blends and they’re never available because they’re always released at midnight and it’s the next morning before I check my email. Come up with a better way to release these. This does nothing but frustrate the majority of your customer base. Ridiculous!...Read More

3 weeks warning and a gaggle of mewling centers of the universe.
February 01, 2022

Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
This didn't come out of nowhere, C&D announced this was coming out at the latest on January 9th. They even said the date, the amount and the blend components on almost every post. There were posts on every social media platform imaginable since then. Every site selling it sent out emails. Pre- and at release. Purchases were limited. Anyone interested already knows how these things go, anything beyond that is on you. I appreciate the more economical pricing on a pound. I know what I like and I'm not a once a week or once a month smoker so I'm not interested in just getting a tin or two. I'll revise this review when I get this in but the mewling and bombing a product because you missed out and think the world revolves around you and how you think it should work is churlish. It's just tobacco, missing out on a release isn't the end of the world, enlightenment wasn't going to come from smoking twenty bowls of this or that blend. It's all smoke and ash in the end, at any rate....Read More

2yrs later..

Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
Sitting underneath an overcast sky, meerschaum in hand...i didnt think how much my opinion would've changed about this 1lb brick 2yrs later. Fermented sweetness of those different Virginias really came to compliment eachother. Drawing in this fruit basket of flavor is a treat with no tongue bite to be seen...fantastic. Buying this was a big gamble, but one that paid off. I think id be crazy enough to even buy another just to see what kind of Folklore itll tell in the end....Read More

Stop the blubbering

Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
I haven’t even received it yet but I live in the UK and set my alarm for 4:50 am to make sure I got a look in. As Paul M said SP give us plenty of time to figure it out and if I can get it anyone can. It was in my cart and at checkout in seconds because I knew it would be gone quickly. I’ve missed out before but handled it like an adult, how about you whining smokers do the same....Read More

Darn good stuff
February 01, 2023

Firstly I want to address the complaints of those who didn’t get to it in time! I live in the UK and set my alarm to 4:50am in order to get my package, if you’re whining about having to stay up til midnight you’re a sad wuss and should probably take up Vaping instead. Now for the tobacco. I got last year’s batch too and at first had a little trouble finding the right pipe for it, my usual VaPer pipes didn’t cut it for some reason so I went for a cob instead and that did the trick right enough. Moving on a year and I am still working on the half of the original brick which I jarred, vacuum sealing the rest to age. I’ve also since then brought a few Tilshead’s and darn it if the two weren’t made for each other. I was suitably impressed enough to buy another brick last week when the second batch was released, again I had no problem getting it in my half asleep state at 5am and am looking forward to doing the same with the first block, jar half and seal the rest. The nose on last year’s is like a good Christmas pudding, sweet with a spicy overtone and fruit lurking in the back, it smokes beautifully and if it’s still available and you’re not buying it you are definitely missing out on perhaps the best small batch that C&D has ever produced. My advice, quit your bellyaching and stump up the cash for this blend, you won’t regret it and if you do there’s going to be someone out there that’ll happily take it off your hands....Read More

Folklore galore!!
January 30, 2023
By: Sam H.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
I wasn’t real sure buying 1 lb of a blend I’ve never tried was a good idea, but I threw caution to the wind with hopes of capturing a unicorn fart. Folklore is not quite that unicorn fart, but it’s pretty damn good. It’s mellow, it’s smoky, it has a delightful floral note, and the moisture level is right. My suspicion is that this will age nicely, but only time will tell. If you’re still on the fence, and there’s a brick or two still available, don’t hesitate to enter the world of Folklore....Read More
