Cornell & Diehl Small Batch: Firebird Flake

About This Tobacco

Cornell & Diehl Small Batch: Firebird Flake is a bold, unconventional blend that pushes the boundaries of traditional pipe tobacco by highlighting the rare interplay between sun-cured Orientals and fire-cured Kentucky.

Unlike most blends where these tobaccos play a supporting role, Firebird Flake brings them to the forefront—creating a rich, smoky, and savory profile that is both distinctive and refined.

To balance this intensity, a trio of specially aged Red Virginias provides natural sweetness, structure, and harmony. The result is a complex yet composed flake that evolves beautifully throughout the smoke.

Blend Components

• Virginia (Red Virginias): Adds sweetness and balance

• Dark-Fired Kentucky: Provides deep smokiness and body

• Orientals (Sun-Cured): Contributes spice, aroma, and brightness
