Cornell & Diehl Warped: Scarecrow 2021

The first aromatic in the Warped line, Scarecrow combines proprietary red Virginia cavendish — a rich, naturally sweet variety crafted from deep 2017 reds and 2019 orange-red flue-cured leaf — with 2015 white burley and 2014 dark air-cured leaf, yielding notes of malty chocolate and warming spices. Subtle top notes of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel enhance and complement the natural tobacco character of these select components, and the entire mixture is pressed for days before being sliced into old-fashioned crumble cakes, further marrying the flavors and enhancing its aging potential. Only 2,500 tins of this special Halloween mixture were made.
