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.

Blend Components

  • Virginia (six flue‑cured grades; unsteamed, partially steamed & blackened formats)
  • Orientals (including 2005 Black Sea Sokhoum)
  • Perique (St. James Parish)

Cut & Packaging

  • Broken Flake

Flavor & Experience

Steamworks delivers:

  • Tangy citrus and natural Virginia sweetness
  • Herbal, floral, and lightly smoky Oriental character
  • Perique-driven spice, dark fruit, and earth
  • Notes of bread, butter, brown sugar, caramel, and subtle orange peel reported by reviewers

The result is a medium-to-strong, naturally sweet, zesty, and complex flake that burns cool and slow with a long, satisfying finish.
