A pipe smoker for over a decade, Jeremy is as passionate about pipes, pipe tobacco, and blending tobacco as a man can be. His experience as a tobacco shop manager, as well as a wood-fire pizza chef, give him unique insight into running a boutique blending operation like Cornell & Diehl. When he isn't running the factory he enjoys the outdoors, particularly camping and hiking. He's an "adventurous eater," and has an expressed love for trying new things and attempting to recreate them in his kitchen at home, which is another reason he's such a great fit at C&D. Born in Portales, New Mexico, Jeremy is a bit of a rolling stone. He has called Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, and Portland home, before moving to South Carolina, where we hope he will stay.

I got my chance to do just that a couple of weeks ago, and what fun and inspiring experience it was! ... Read More

Tunes for Pipe Time

September 15, 2014 by Jeremy Reeves

We all know that pipe smokers run the gamut in many regards. From brand loyalties, tobacco preferences, clenching/palm smoking, vulcanite vs. acrylic, whether or not fishing vests should be reserved for actually fishing, etc. etc. Artisan collectors, back porch corn cobbers and everyone in between, yes we pipe smokers come from every walk and, what's more, we like it that way.

Recently, Shane and I were tasked with a tedious and rather formidable project: listing all the component tobaccos and assigning strength, taste and room-note ratings for all 1335 tobacco blends we have on the site. No, we weren't being punished for some horrible infraction of the SPC Handbook. We were collecting information for the new Tobacco Locator tool. ... Read More
