Cornell & Diehl: Sun Bear Black Locust 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0348

A blend of the finest Bright and Red Virginias balanced by 2014 Basma and 2013 Izmir Orientals, Cornell & Diehl's Sun Bear: Black Locust commends itself with subtle notes of raw, ethically sourced, single-farm honey from the Black Locust pollination in Maryland — a variety prized for its small yields, extremely light color, and delicate sweetness.

Combined with a whisper of silver tequila and elderflower, the natural Black Locust honey complements these specially selected varietal tobaccos, elevating their fruity and floral notes for a bright, refreshing character and a creamy, rounded finish.

I'm truly in awe at the amount of people complaining here that are unable to read or tell time, are oblivious to what 'small batch' and 'limited run' means or implies, yet think they understand how e-commerce and business works. (There also was a 15 tin purchase limit my dudes).

I hope the ne
xt small batch is flavored heavily with sour grapes and salty tears. I also hope SP removes all these inane reviews (mine included) so legitimate reviews aren't buried under baby's first experience on the internet.

For the mensa members coming late: SP did not have the entire 10k allocation of tins and distributed this to other sites and brick and mortar shops (you can confirm this with a simple google search). I will definitely concede that a 12am ET release was not the most cash money or fairest way to release it, but I received multiple emails days in advance and prepared accordingly to make my purchases. Sorry guys, but better luck next time.

3 per person first 24 hours. Basic marketing and consumerism. You get at minimum 333% more sales and store exposure. People will buy extra for free shipping. I tail on this every small batch release. Too many scalpers and resellers. Limit sales so more people get to try. Open the floodgates after 24 hours. God you guys suck....Read More

This is a surprising blend. The tin note is sweet. When you smoke it, the sweetness is much more subtle but it’s there. It leaves the smoke creamy and satisfying. The tobacco’s used definitely bring a complexity that stay from start to finish. If you happen to come across some tins of this don’t pass it up....Read More

Many of the C&D blends do not agree with me, and taste dry and bitey on my palate. But I still keep coming back and trying new blends, especially the Small Batch offerings. It may be more aged tobacco used in the Small Batch blends (just speculation on my part), but they usually treat me better! >This blend (July '24) is really nice. A very pleasant virgina that does not bite me at all. I'll be grabbing more on the next go round, hopefully!...Read More

Only a few flakes need further rubbing, the majority can be loaded straight in. The bright Virginias provide some tart and tangy citrus, bread, sour lemon, vegetative grass, sugar, mild floralness, spice, and acidity as the lead components. The aged Basma and Turkish Izmir offer plenty of earth, wood, floralness, some dry sourness, vegetation, herbs, spice, light tangy sweetness, and a touch of smoke as competitive supporting players....Read More
Fantastic

Glad I finally got to try this version of Sun Bear. Been smoking Mountain Flower for two years now. I think the honey tastes lighter in this one and the Orientals are stronger than Mountain Flower. Still a desert island smoke I'll be smoking for years to come. Enjoy!

Got a few of the 2024 release and I was a little shocked with how much I enjoyed the blend. I normally enjoy more of a tangy or tart Virginia blend so going into this blend with such a emphasis on the honey note I was a little hesitant. Well I should have ordered a few more tins. This blend is really balanced between the honey sweetness and bright Virginia's. The Orientals give just enough spice to keep the blend dynamic through the bowl. The smoking cadence really gives different notes as well with a slower cadence giving more honey notes while a quicker cadence brings out the different spice notes of the Orientals. Really great blend....Read More
