Cornell & Diehl’s Small Batch Steamworks is a richly layered Virginia/Oriental flake showcasing six grades of flue‑cured leaf—ranging from deep mahogany to bright lemon/orange—treated through three distinct steaming processes to amplify natural sweetness and depth. These Virginias are paired with vintage 2005 Black Sea Sokhoum Orientals and genuine St. James Parish Perique, creating a profile that’s sweet, tangy, spicy, and deeply matured right out of the tin.
