Cornell & Diehl's ever-popular summertime Small Batch blend, Sun Bear, returns this year in a Bourbon Cask edition, featuring black mangrove honey aged for a full year in a retired bourbon barrel. A flake of 2023 Canadian Bright and 2023 North Carolina Red Virginias balanced by 2019 Thai Izmir, Sun Bear Bourbon Cask offers natural notes of oak, vanilla, and subtle bourbon warmth that complement the Virginias' sweetness and the Izmir's delicate spice. This limited seasonal release delivers a smooth, naturally layered smoking experience that celebrates the harmony of exceptional leaf and barrel-aged honey. Only 25,000 tins of this special edition have been produced.
Pipe Nook Notes
Because of the scarcity and the small allotment available here at the Nook, purchases of this edition are limited to 5 tins, to ensure more of my customers have a chance to obtain at least a tin or two before they're gone. Since Small Batch editions aren't available year-round, it's always a good idea to purchase a tin for now, and at least one extra tin to cellar for later. Don't miss out on this phenomenal blend!
