About This Pipe Tobacco
Among the only mixtures to use the world's rarest pipe tobacco as its primary component, Small Batch The Beast is a blend of 51% Perique, all grown, harvested, cured, and fermented at Cornell & Diehl's exclusive farm in St. James Parish, Louisiana. This majority percentage highlights the true complexity and nuance of the historic leaf, from its well-known stone-fruit-like tang to its deeper, more umami-based flavor.
Tempering this study in Perique, C&D's proprietary Red Virginia Cavendish and a whisper of Dark-Fired Kentucky contribute complexity and balance, and the entire mixture is steeped in rum for seven days to deepen and marry the flavors. The result is quite unlike any other pipe tobacco in existence: It's potent in strength and concentrated in flavor with pronounced umami notes alongside hints of loamy earth, sweet stone fruits, mesquite wood, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Customer Reviews
By the last half of the bowl the Vitamin N really kicked in. After an hour, I was beginning to reel. I've had stronger, but rarely with this much flavor, and Beast is easily strong enough for me!
It was so potent straight up I decided to mellow it out a little. Using the 3-step method to pack I packed the first layer with a nice all day VaPer (in this case P. Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake), the second layer with The Beast, and the third layer with another coin of Bullseye. Not surprisingly the played nicely together.
After the charring light the 2 components in the bowl melded well and offered a mellow, cool, spicy but of about a 4* strength.
I'm sorry it is no longer available as I only bought a couple of tins since I still have a few tins from the 2022 release. But when (if?) The Beast is released again in a couple of years I will be sure to pick up some more for the cellar!...Read More
