Cornell & Diehl Sansepolcro
(3.38)
Merging the Old World with the 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 flavors and aromas — at once both familiar and exotic.
Notes: First introduced in July, 2016. Limited production of 4,500 (2oz) tins. Read the story behind Sansepolcro on the Smokingpipes Daily Reader, https://www.smokingpipes.com/smokingpipesblog/single.cfm/post/small-batch-the-historical-sansepolcro

A nicely earthy blend, the rough cut, not quite a thick ribbon not quite a true broken flake, is slow-burning. Unlike some other reviewers, however, I found it pretty monochromatic. Unsurprisingly, a bit cigar-like at times, so those who favor those types of blends should give it a try. Ok as an occasional change of pace, not for my regular rebuys.

This is for the 2024 iteration.
Three things you must do to smoke this.
1. Eat a big meal
2. Sit down
3. Get a razor ready to cut the hair that will grow on your chest
Strong, strong, strong.
I like it. I like the flake cut. But wow is it strong.
