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.

Bad Reviews

Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
Site needs to REMOVE posts that do not even talk to the quality of the tobacco and was intentionally given a LOW rating because the reviewer did not put the time in to get a tin! You snooze, you lose! Get over it! Manufacturer should not suffer due to a LIMITED release, the scarcity is in the NAME!...Read More

Not a fan of where C&D is taking us

With recent shake ups in the pipe tobacco world, C&D will now be even more of a dominant player in the game. Which is something I’m not happy about. These small batch pump and dump schemes (yes, I own this blend, and no it’s not anything special) are absolutely terrible for our beloved hobbies. Pipe culture isn’t about FOMO — in fact, it’s the exact opposite. C&D is the takeout Chinese restaurant of the pipe world, with hundreds of items on the menu and very minor tweaks between items. Their ingredients, while often palatable, are not the finest. If you like it, great. But to me there is no subtly, extremely harsh and needs MUCH more age. Their emphasis on cool sounding names, tin art, and regular “small batch” release of the youngest and most immature tobaccos are really a blight on what it means to be a pipe smoker, at least for me. C&D is always my least smoked stuff and I don’t care at all about these limited releases. I simply hate how they’re making bad tobacco more desirable via cool tin art and limited releases. I always come back to my jarred stuff after some time, and it’s just not great tobacco or blending. By comparison, if you try Russ Oulette’s blends, you really see what a master blender can do. Beautifully complex flavors. Real art. C&D are like these startup small batch whiskey drops with less than 2 years of age from new distilleries trying to make as much money as possible. So terribly sad that Hearth and Home and others are disappearing and C&D will be dominating the market....Read More

Great review man! Next time you want to moan and groan, how about doing it on another website. Smoking pipes isn’t the place to showcase your weak side.

SENSATIONAL!!!

C&D’s Small Batch - The Beast 2025 emerged with an ultimate sensationalism among all of the Small Batch’s releases. Wow!!Set aside the various perceptions,this is a very high quality blend made with lots of hardwork and labour of love!The site experience during the release was very much improved and efficient this time and I believe there are enough time and a fair portion of this small batch for everybody before it completely sold out,very well done SP Team!I managed to grab a few tins within the very first seconds of release!Very happy with that! The blend offers a deep peaty,spicy,sweet,slight minty herbal notes. The smoke..wow..it’s simply wondrous instead of the monstrous name!Smooth,dry,delicate,very well pronounced of dark,herbal,smoky,sweet fruity spiciness that you would never expect from a heavy perique dose blend that harmonized perfectly with Red VA Cavendish and DFK.The aged quality of the smokes was sublime even right out of a fresh tin! Wonderful in retrohale and the complexities will always put you in trance!An elegant beast and one of a kind experience!Very well done Mr Jeremy and C&D Team!!...Read More

A Rare Winner

Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
Wild.
Interesting.
Very strong.
Tasty.
Doesn't hold up to Crowley's recipe, to be sure, but still a very good choice for those nights when you want a punch in the mouth.
