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 2026 edition of Carolina Red Flake features naturally sweet TA-22 (13.53% sugar) Red Virginia, GA-JRL-19 (17.72% sugar) Red Virginia, BRBO-23-HS Dark Virginia, and NC2L-2010 Virginia Hand Strips. Carolina Red Flake is quite simply the finest Virginia flake that Cornell and Diehl have ever produced.
This 2026 Small Batch is a Limited Edition of 20,000 tins. Because stock is so limited, the maximum purchase here at The Pipe Nook is 10 tins per customer, to allow for as many as possible to acquire at least a tin or two.
