Cornell & Diehl Nutcracker

Nutcracker is a blend Cornell & Diehl produced as part of its Wintertime Reserve series, released specifically for the holiday season. It is built by combining white burley, dark burley, and cube-cut burley leaves; after adding select Virginia leaves and a pinch of perique, the mixture is pressed and sliced into thin flakes. Its burley-heavy composition makes the blend filling and strong in nicotine; the Virginia component contributes a light sweetness, while perique adds a spicy twist. Because Wintertime Reserve blends change from year to year, this release represents a limited-run edition.
