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

I purchased this blend because the dark fired Italian tobacco content. I love dark fired Kentucky because of its similarity in taste to Latakia. This tobacco had none of that great smokey flavor. It got great reviews but unfortunately I can't give it one. I've smoked this stuff in several different pipes and with the same result, I hate it. It has little flavor and what flavor it has is less than desirable. I can't recommend this blend.
