Cornell & Diehl: Carolina Red Flake 2oz Tin

An inspired blend of the finest North Carolina-grown Red Virginias, Carolina Red Flake is Cornell & Diehl’s tribute to the historic Old Belt growing region. Taken straight from fertile Carolina soil, these exquisite, top-tiered Virginias are all grown, threshed, blended, and then lovingly pressed and carefully sliced right in the heart of the old tobacco country. Combining a hay-like grassiness with subtly sweet, tangy notes, it’s a Virginia purist’s delight with a complex flavor: rich, deep, and earthy with subtle hints of dried fruits and citrus.

The 2024 edition of Carolina Red Flake features naturally sweet TA-22 (13.53% sugar) Red Virginia, GA-JRL-19 (17.72% sugar) Red-Orange Virginia, and TBFO-19 (10% sugar) Red Virginia. Carolina Red Flake is quite simply the finest Virginia flake that Cornell and Diehl have ever produced.
