Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Sansepolcro
It seems so obvious, a line of limited-run, small batch blends as a means to show off some old recipes and try some new ones – an opportunity to flex our creative muscles. Here at C&D, we set the standard for boutique, hand-blended pipe tobacco by adhering to a simple idea: quality trumps quantity. Every time.
Merging the Old world with New, Sansepolcro is a very special entry into the Small Batch project-carefully blended from unique, Italian dark-fired florets and some of the finest red Virginias from North Carolina.
Aromatically spicy with earthy, clove-like undertones, these florets are all grown in the Sansepolcro region of Italy which boasts a history and tradition of tobacco cultivation to the 17th century. Combined with mellow citrus and bread-like notes of the reds, it makes for a wonderful melange of flavours and aromas-at once both familiar and exotic.
Comes in 2 oz tins.
