About This Pipe Tobacco

A delightful aromatic infused with the flavor of an exotic fruit originally from the middle East that was a particular favorite in the 18th Century and found growing on the grounds of Mt. Vernon, Monticello and around the homes of other Founding Fathers.

Year round aromatic
August 19, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
I’ve had this as one of my go to tobaccos for a while now. It smells and tastes great, has zero bite, and is enjoyable year round. The fruit flavoring reminds me of fig or plum, and it is very well balanced and not overly sweet like some aromatics can be. I currently have about 2 lbs, with one batch cellared and the other in my regular rotation. Even if you are not usually an aromatic smoker, I would definitely recommend giving Founding Fathers a shot....Read More
A Subtle Aromatic That Changed My Mind
August 14, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers was one of the tobaccos that helped begin my journey into aromatics, and it remains a great example of how well an aromatic can work when the flavoring is handled with restraint. What I appreciate most is the subtlety. The sweetness is present, but it never overwhelms the underlying tobacco. There is a soft fruit character woven into the natural nuttiness, earth, and mild sweetness of the leaf, creating a smoke that feels balanced rather than heavily cased. This blend helped show me that an aromatic does not have to be syrupy, artificial, or one-dimensional. Founding Fathers keeps the tobacco itself at the center of the experience while adding just enough flavor to make the bowl distinctive and inviting. For me, this was an important early step into appreciating aromatics, and it is still one I regard very highly. Subtle, approachable, and exceptionally well done....Read More
Aro? Nope.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
I’m not sure what the aroma is supposed to be but the bag note was weak vanilla. It lit readily and produced a good draw but all I got was a weak tobacco with a hint of vanilla. I got no stars and stripes, bald eagles or anything. If there’s an exotic fruit in this blend, well, it went on vacation. This is based on a bulk purchase so there’s always the possibility it’s old or has aired out waiting to be purchased. Not impressed but I may try a tin because this bulk is just unimpressive....Read More
The Taste of Freedom
June 06, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
I sat on this blend for a couple of years after having ordered it in the winter and just not being impressed by it at the time. However, when spring and summer rolled around something magical happened. Sitting in the shade next to my lovely fig trees with a nice cool breeze blowing across, i lit the bowl , and it finally hit me; that delicious topping, the perfect balance of cavendish and burley's, it all just seemed to come together out of nowhere. A brilliant, slow smoke as we look towards our 250th year....Read More
Great aero
April 23, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
This bend was a very pleasant surprise. Very cool and smooth for a aero, and has a wonderful room note and taste. You'll be met by a idealistic "pipe tobacco smell" when you open this blend. Sweet richness with hints of fresh tobacco, fruit and a pinch of nuts. This is one you do not want to pass up. The flavor is very tasty with heavy sweet fruit and a traditional tobacco flavor peaking out. This can be enjoyed all day if you want, or just as a tasty refresher for someone wanting a change. Out of the batch I've smoked on, I have not noticed any tongue bite and burns very smooth and steady. Room note is just as pleasant as the tin note. Definitely a winner when it comes to heavy flavored/cased aeros....Read More
