CORNELL & DIEHL PALMETTO BALKAN – A Tribute to Classic Balkan Blends
Oriental spices, rich tobacco smoke, and the atmosphere of historic trade routes – Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan captures the distinctive spirit of the classic Balkan mixtures that have long held a special place among pipe tobacco enthusiasts. This Small Batch combines carefully selected Oriental tobaccos with the traditional craftsmanship of English-style blending, offering a characterful interpretation of this celebrated style. I

ts limited availability makes this release even more distinctive: only 870 tins of this strictly limited Small Batch made their way to Germany, offering enthusiasts of traditional English and Balkan blends a rare opportunity to experience this exceptional composition.

At its heart are carefully matured Oriental tobaccos combined with selected Carolina Red Virginias and a specially processed Turkish Latakia. Basma and Prilep contribute their characteristic spicy and floral qualities, while the matured Virginias provide a harmonious counterpoint with their natural sweetness. The Turkish Latakia adds an elegant smokiness reminiscent of the renowned Syrian-style mixtures of years past.

As the smoke develops, a complex range of flavors emerges, with nuances of refined wood smoke, dark berries, and Oriental spices. A subtle wine-like depth adds another intriguing dimension to the profile. A small portion of Black Cavendish provides additional smoothness and helps bring the individual components together into a beautifully balanced composition.

Palmetto Balkan is a multi-layered, medium-strength English blend in which spicy Oriental tobaccos, natural Virginia sweetness, and refined smoky nuances work together in harmony. A distinctive Small Batch composition created for enthusiasts of traditional Balkan-style mixtures.
