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
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

I’m not too sure why smoking pipes allowed folks to buy five of these and most people weren’t even able to get one it’s very disappointing.
Really?

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.
Hopefully it improves with age

3 bowls in, I find myself impressed with the smell of the cake whenI open the jar but each time disappointed with the smoking qualities. I’m hoping it is better in a year

....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. Update: just opened my 2022 edition. Holy moly!!!! The bag note is out of this world. Bakery goods, stone fruits, like a rich fruit cake. Smokes beautifully. If there's a slug in the brick of this new one, I'll smoke it to compare. The rest is destined for the cellar. Hopefully you snagged one. Enjoy. Thank you once again Mr. Reeves!!!!...Read More
Gets even better with age

Just like myself, this blend just gets better with age. 2 years later and it's better than ever.
Bright and slightly sweet.

First of all the coloring on this cake is amazing, all the different tobaccos press together create a beautiful view, worthy of just looking at for a minute before you rub it out. The smoke is slightly sweet, like a good Virginia blend should be. Plenty of flavor, but also mild and mellow with just a little bit of tingling on the tongue. This is one of those blends that if you don't want to commit to a whole pound, you should absolutely find someone, or a couple people, to split it with....Read More
Incredible blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
This has everything you would want from a complex Virginia blend. It has a gingerbread cookie and mulled wine vibe to it that keeps me coming back over and over again. I am excited to see how it ages.
Wow.

Even just the scent of the cake upon opening the bag was enough for me to know I'd love it. To me it smelled like a hint of cloves or some kind of spice, tea, and some scent I can't place. It burns beautifully and has a soft mild sweetness that rounds out the rest of the flavors. Not quite as complex as I feel SteamWorks is but that's the closest thing I could compare this stuff to. Absolutely phenomenal and glad I managed to get one package of it....Read More

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
