Cornell & Diehl Sunday Picnic

Cornell & Diehl Sunday Picnic

Cornell & Diehl’s Sunday Picnic is a flake-style pipe tobacco that blends Golden Virginias, Perique, and Izmir Turkish (Oriental) leaf into a medium-strength, non-aromatic smoke. Part of their Simply Elegant series, this blend is designed to appeal to fans of Virginia-based tobaccos, especially those who appreciate a touch of spice and complexity.

Blend Composition

• Virginia: Bright, naturally sweet Golden Virginias form the base, offering hay-like sweetness and a mild citrus tang.

• Perique: Adds a subtle figgy, peppery note without overwhelming the palate.

• Izmir Turkish: Contributes earthy, herbal, and slightly sour flavors, often described as piney or woody.

Flavor Profile

The overall taste is savory rather than sweet, with a balanced interplay between the grassy sweetness of the Virginias, the peppery kick of Perique, and the herbal complexity of the Turkish leaf. Aging the blend enhances its depth, mellowing the flavors and rounding out the profile. Many smokers find it pairs well with morning coffee or a cold beverage like lemonade or sweet tea.

The flake cut allows for various packing methods, including fold-and-stuff, cube cut, or rubbing out, catering to different smoking preferences.
