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.

o 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.

e 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 Less

hen. 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 Less

Folklore--I'd say this tobacco may be "Fable-oulous"

s shortly after midnight and had both blocks on order and was asleep by 12:10 AM. Yes, two computers, I am prepared for this sort of thing. Why? Because I am used to dealing with highly desirable/limited edition fountain pens that can go even faster than limited edition tobaccos. If you want something, plan to do what needs to be done to acquire the item.
Now...The tobacco is just freakin' awesome. At the risk of sounding somewhere between fanatical and pedantic--I did an extra level cleaning (I use vodka for my stem and shank cleaning fluid) of a Savinelli 125th Anniversary and a Savinelli Autograph to use as my dedicated smoking "rides".
The "opening" aroma is redolent with fruit and earth, promising a deep room note and a gently complex taste.
For a change, I was correct on both counts. (I am still better at wine tasting than tobacco tasting).
After letting the initial lighting settle, the second kindling released the depth of the mixed Virginias with the great overtones of the Perique and the sparks of the Burley and Oriental accents.
This tobacco tastes like, to me, like the Dave Brubeck Quartet sounds.
I'm writing this note after just the first several bowls of Folklore.
Also in rotation, somewhat ironically, is the fairly new C&D Edisto, which does not have the same complexity as the Folklore. In no way does this take away from Edisto, if anything it highlights the great talent at C&D.
For the technically minded, I decided to use a short-style cut on the block, with each "chunk" about two inches in length. I use a medium-ish pack and find that I need few "in-between" lightings as long as I remember to tamp.
Bottom line...great tobacco and I am glad I did get two bricks. I'm letting brick #2 age in the rather substantial vacuum-sealed packaging. I have it stored in a light-proof container, think the aging will go quite well.
And yes, it was worth losing a bit of sleep to wait for... Read Less

Folklore - Flavorful and contemplative smoke!
February 09, 2022

e bowl. After a Char lite and lite tamping, it needs a good thorough lighting across the top of the tobacco. Behaves well in the bowl and burns steadily with the occasional lite Tamping. Only needed one re lite. Tobacco smokes evenly and cool.
The first half of the bowl was subtly sweet with hay notes, stone fruit with bread and allspice and cinnamon; wonderful smooth rich smoke. Not sure how much perique is in this blend, but it works well with just enough spice that complements the stone fruit and allspice notes. I could swear I picked up a subtle vanilla like flavor with the sweet bread notes a couple of times. Every once in a while you get a raisin flavor that comes and goes with the bread and spice; there is a underlying smoky, woodsy flavor present too.
I decided to dump the ash and even out the tobacco and relite half way thru.
This is a sip slowly, Contemplative smoke.
Second half of the bowl leans more towards smoky and roasted walnuts with very subtle Perique spice. The cinnamon and allspice flavor lingers and works well with the smoky spiciness. Although the subtle sweetness fades in the second half of the bowl, the tobacco is exceptionally smooth and flavorful.
Also picked up some smokehouse, barbecue? with the spice notes.
Even on retrohale it is smooth. Nice enjoyable tobacco flavor.
I would give it a medium on nicotine.
Well rounded smoke with lots of flavors to enjoy. Of course, since it came in a 1 pound brick, I broke it down into two and 3 ounce plugs and put them away in Mason jars for some aging. I’m excited to see how this does with a little bit of time. Great job by Cornell and Diehl!

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 Less

emails relegated to "promotions" on Gmail, so I never see them when they come in. Oh well, I've changed my email settings and will be ready next time. No need to gripe or whine; get your self involved in the various pipe smoking communities on Facebook and see if someone would be willing to trade a bit for a bit of something YOU have. Regardless of how good this stuff is......16oz should last those guys a fair bit of time.
Let's all keep faithfully smoking C&Ds blends and get ready for another the next one!
Congrats to the guys who got the brick. I hope it's as good as that earlier email made it out to be....my mouth was watering!

e pound in a bottle with a terrific label. And I also suspect that selling it in such bulk put less pressure on their mail room. While selling it this way pretty much ensures that they will not be left in the lurch with unsold product, history suggests that they sell out their inventive blends. And thus, I wonder if it could not have been sold in 50 or 100 grams. A small bottle holding 100 grams might work, after all.
Given all the "shit" we are going through these days, it is a shame that this experience has to add to it for so many. Read Less

fun blend

appears to be accepted by most as above average in quality.
My opinion of Mr. Jeremy Reeves skills as a blender has grown to the level that I can buy a pound “taste unseen, with confidence.
His blends have been in my vault for quite a while now so when I read his description of a blend it usually matches.
The Quality of the entire C&D catalogue seems to have gotten a boost in my opinion.
So reading many forums about folklore blend there was always the negativity of
hoarding small batch releases. One point I like to make is to be sure and enjoy your best blends not hide them away. I just opened my 19 month old tin of sunbear black locust of which I have only one tin simply because it felt like a good time to do so. That blend is sublime and I miss not buying fifty tins but does that not make every sip and draw more special?
I do try to stock up on a quality crop year but maybe next crop is better? We always seems to worry our favorite blend will change or disappear. I often think there things I like, and things I did not know I liked until I tried them.
The point is we flow with time and our blends do as well. By accepting the fleeting moments of a certain blends lifespan we can celebrate the enjoyment and savor the moment a bit more.
By not hoarding more fellow Enthusiasts may have a chance to join you in appreciating a favorite blend.
Small Batch offerings are the core element of the struggle between enjoyment and hoarding.
I aged my SBBL for 19 months then had to decide if I wait or open..
I chose to open the tin to fight my own urge to hoard. Glad I did as it is superb..
So I admit to owning one chenets cake tin and one king cake which should be aged 10 years and I plan on trying to make it that long for fun but Folklore will be enjoyed and gone long before then.
I close my comments with the hope that all my fellow Enthusiasts will open those tasty bricks and load bowls, make small gifts to friends, and trust there will be something tasty offered again next crop year.
If you are bored try getting sanctions off syria so we can get the rare latakia again. Seems a better task than frequently re-counting several lifetimes worth of tobaccos you will not enjoy..
I trust C&D to have a blend I want to enjoy next crop year and I trust Mr Reeves to make them as he describes they will be.
I close in hopes you all stay happy and healthy as we all await the blends made from the next crop year!!!
Edit: 1/31/23.
my brick arrived on schedule (thank you SP)
I can confirm a wonderful scent when one gives the seam a sniff.
Several very good blends have had a similar note so I think I know part of what is in the bag!.
I do enjoy the pound brick, it lays flat in my vault.
After a good rest from the shipping I have several fresh jars and lids waiting.
At least one bowl will be pulled from then but I like some time in a jar for any plug/cake before loading.
That puts me about march before a taste review.
See you then! Read Less

ymphony of flavors. Just the right mix of sweetness and fine tobaccos smokiness. And the amount one gets for this offering is wonderful. It has some incense like aroma to it with deeply satisfying Virginia sweetness. And the clove like taste from the Kasturi blends harmoniously. No one element dominates- it truly is a wonderful blend. The room note is very aromatic. The inhale immediately imparts all this blends notes and it burns down to a nice white ash and produces a pleasing cloud of smoke. To my mind there are elements to this blend that shouldn’t work but they do…they do so well. I honestly hope that everyone who wanted to try this had the opportunity to do so this time around. The price seems a bit dear on the face of it but for the amount you get and the quality and character of what one gets makes it well worth it. It’s rare to find a pipe tobacco that is not just a slight variation on all others and is truly unique while still being palatable and this one is it. I give it a five star rating. Read Less

spice and sweetness. The perique comes through well at times and the orientals show up too the Kentucky hasn't shown up yet. I really hope this blend ages well in a jar because I'm not sure how this is labeled a Virginia and not an aromatic. It is strong and sweet. If it mellows with age this could be a great blend but the overwhelming strength of flavor is way too strong to be labeled a Virginia. Pleasant but mislabeled will update after a couple ounces.

Not the mass manufactured kiddy fruit leather mind you, all super sweet. This is a fruit leather you'd find at a farmer's market booth in Portland ( either one ) or Seattle. I've only been to one of the Portlands though so I only speak from imagination. And what is this super healthy, holistic doctor prescribed fruit leather made of? Figs mostly. Probably apricot too. I look forward to the reviews of people who actually take a match to this stuff as I am squeamish when it comes to Perique but if it's mostly dried fruit forward I may actually burn some in a few years.

rubs out easily. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Despite tin note (super sweet), I didn't detect any added flavoring that went outside of normal tobacco flavor. Taste is mild to medium and moderately consistent, with complex notes of vegetation, mildly sweet dark plum, woody, Rasins, floral, spicy, mildly sweet grass, savory, bready, spices, dry rich earthy, hay, citrus peel/zest, a semi-sweet fruit background note, and a mildly peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Perique and Kentucky softly supporting. and Kasturi Cigar Leaf providing more support in the second 1/2 than the first. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good. i expected fruiter and stronger and fuller. Read Less

It definitely needs some aging, but is surprisingly smooth and subtle fresh out of the bag. It reminds me of my homegrown nicotiana rustica...musty with dark ash. Didn't really need a pound of this stuff, but it's an interesting change-up...

a pound cake, easy to crumble, the Kasturi leaf infuses a sweet taste, does not overpower the Virginia but blends perfectly. Great aftertaste. Smooth and rich. SIt back and enjoy. I like to let it dry a little from the cake

Excellent tobacco. If you miss out, don’t worry…..this stuff is almost identical to SPC Hogshead in my opinion. So if it sells out or you don’t want to be forced into an entire pound….you can substitute. Overall though, this is excellent stuff

file is pretty representitive of the description. A woody, citrusy, slightly smoky charachter. The underlying flavor very strongly reminds me of their Dreams of Kadath blend but a hair toned down on intensity and a little more woodsy. After all many of its Varietals you can find in this blend as well. Strongly recommend to any CD fans, I passed last years blend because I wasnt sure it would be worth it, but in glad my wife did it for me becasue its worth it. Read Less

to sprinkle a handful of pepper on you, but I blew it away. Smoke to the bottom, under the action of tar smoke flavour is thicker. I fell nose in the honey sauce, sweet all the time.

High Quality Leaf w/ Top Notch Taste

tobaccos I would like try next. EVERYTIME NEW TOBACCOS COME AVAILABLE ONLINE, THEY ARE GOING TO BE LANDING AT YOUR LOCAL PIPE TOBACCO Brick and Mortor (B&M) SHOP within 1 week. Consistently. Like Clockwork. But your local tobacco ship will charge you a little more for it cause that's how business works in America, TINSTAAFL, so you pay a little extra and support your B&M to keep sweet smoke on deck for time to come.
I'm relatively new to the pipe smoking game and even I know the basics of how to get my hands on some limited small batch releases.
Some of yall are just haters for dogging this ridiculously great tobacco. I bought the only 1 pound brick they received at the store just hours before I walked in randomly just to see if they had some Folklore. I knew right then it was meant to be. I also went to another B&M locally just to see if they had it and I scored another 6 ounces of it because they broke it down 1 Oz at a time for a premium.
Overall I think this tobacco tastes like a really good VAper with the nicotine level being surprisingly higher than expected, and fruits in the background, maybe some molasses or deep sweet taste. Not an Aromatic in my book. The shop owner of the B&M I shared some of this with was blown away. But they were glad that they sold their only 1 Folklore to someone they knew.

A 1lb brick that just smells great out of the bag. I broke it up into larger pieces and placed in a large jar, this will be with me for a while. I like the moisture level as it comes so I didnt let it dry at all. I broke off a small piece rubbed it out and loaded my medium size Canadian. It lights easy with few relights. First up is a nice slight sweetness on the tip of the tongue. Then then comes those dark fruit flavors followed by a hint pepper from the Perique. A little further down in the bowl comes the cigar leaf. I dont care for cigars but it adds an interesting layer in the profile that is just good. I'm guessing but I think it's this that leaves you with a dry mouth feel much like a full bodied dry red wine. Then back to the dark fruits and some oaky undertones. Again just a really pleasant smoke. This is definitely a special occasion smoker due to its rarity. if C&D could make this available for everyone I would have a bowl everyday! Read Less
Only a one bowl opinion
February 10, 2022

Product: Cornell & Diehl Folklore 16oz
pened it!
I sliced off enough to fill a fairly small bowled Dr Grabow Commodore and went at it.
My first impression was that it had a much stronger flavour than I expected, the Kentucky came through more than the Perique initially closely followed by the Kasturi, a leaf I was only familiar with in clove cigarettes. I wasn’t overly keen on that particular flavour if I’m honest but taken as a whole it did work, sort of.
Anyway one bowl out of a freshly opened bag is no basis for judgement so it is going to the back of the shelf for a little while and I’ll revise this after I revisit it. Not very helpful I know but it’s full of promise so hopefully I’ll be smitten when I try my next bowl. Read Less

of sweet VA, mulled wine/baking spices, flue soot, and a constant overtone of a black twist, like Black XX or Black Irish X twist once the bowl gets near the 15 minute mark. Sipped very slowly, and this blend reminds me of a good Halloween or wintertime blend. Should age well. Read Less

Folklore--I'd say this tobacco may be "Fable-oulous"

s shortly after midnight and had both blocks on order and was asleep by 12:10 AM. Yes, two computers, I am prepared for this sort of thing. Why? Because I am used to dealing with highly desirable/limited edition fountain pens that can go even faster than limited edition tobaccos. If you want something, plan to do what needs to be done to acquire the item.
Now...The tobacco is just freakin' awesome. At the risk of sounding somewhere between fanatical and pedantic--I did an extra level cleaning (I use vodka for my stem and shank cleaning fluid) of a Savinelli 125th Anniversary and a Savinelli Autograph to use as my dedicated smoking "rides".
The "opening" aroma is redolent with fruit and earth, promising a deep room note and a gently complex taste.
For a change, I was correct on both counts. (I am still better at wine tasting than tobacco tasting).
After letting the initial lighting settle, the second kindling released the depth of the mixed Virginias with the great overtones of the Perique and the sparks of the Burley and Oriental accents.
This tobacco tastes like, to me, like the Dave Brubeck Quartet sounds.
I'm writing this note after just the first several bowls of Folklore.
Also in rotation, somewhat ironically, is the fairly new C&D Edisto, which does not have the same complexity as the Folklore. In no way does this take away from Edisto, if anything it highlights the great talent at C&D.
For the technically minded, I decided to use a short-style cut on the block, with each "chunk" about two inches in length. I use a medium-ish pack and find that I need few "in-between" lightings as long as I remember to tamp.
Bottom line...great tobacco and I am glad I did get two bricks. I'm letting brick #2 age in the rather substantial vacuum-sealed packaging. I have it stored in a light-proof container, think the aging will go quite well.
And yes, it was worth losing a bit of sleep to wait for... Read Less

gh with he DFK, plums, raisins, medium strength, zero bite or harshness. A very pleasant smoke. I would say a solid 5 star blend and if you remove the cry babies that couldn’t read their email several weeks or months before the release, the true rating probably would be well into the 4.5-5 star territory. Matter of fact, I think reviews that score terribly and haven’t even tried the blend should be deleted. Read Less
