Since its genesis, C&D has emphasized quality over convenience to create blends unlike any other tobacco on the market. In the early years, the company focused on English blends rather than the "over-the-counter" American Virginia and Burley-based tobaccos of the era.
Today, we here at Cornell & Diehl keep that same tradition alive. From classic blends to mixtures that employ innovative processes like our C&D red Virginia Cavendish, you won't have to search for long to find a handcrafted, lifetime favorite.

A blend of the finest Bright and Red Virginias balanced by 2014 Basma and 2013 Izmir Orientals, Sun Bear: Black Locust commends itself with subtle notes of raw, ethically sourced, single-farm honey from the 2024 Black Locust pollination in Maryland-- a variety prized for its small yields, extremely light color, and delicate sweetnes.
Combined with a whisper of silver tequila and elderflower.
