Really cool ... I didn't know that they decreased the pressure over time.
I'm off to smoke some Briar Fox now! : puffy

C&D seems to be a hipster haven!

brudnod · Jul 3, 2015

Alright! I have a whole new tobacco to try...

papipeguy · Jul 3, 2015

Very cool, peck; thanks.

oakbear · Jul 3, 2015

Cheers for sharing, it was an interesting watch.

stickframer · Jul 3, 2015

Good stuff. Thanks.

cortezattic · Jul 3, 2015

Thanks for the link, Peck!

(I wonder why they didn't edit or crop-out the picture of the topless babe.)

Thanks for sharing, Peck. I imagine working for C & D must be a dream job for us pipe smokers. I'm hoping to retire next year, but I will still be young and will need to keep busy. After seeing that video, I would love to work at a company like C&D, or L J Peretti's, or the like. (Alternatively I would love to work for Martin or Gibson Guitars, or a boutique guttar shop like Acoustic Emporium, Elderly Instruments, etc.)

Thanks Peck, very interesting.

I had no idea how pipe tobacco was made. That was a great video. The men seem like people I'd get along with.

jitterbugdude · Jul 5, 2015

Awesome video. I wonder what he painted the inside of his press with before putting in the tobacco? Some type of non stick substance no doubt. BTW, he misspoke when he said they used whole leaf. What the video showed was him using Threshed leaf.

I bet it smells like Heaven in there 8)

You have no idea : puffy

:
When they make Autumn Evening it smells like a Pancake House.
Processing Dark Fired smells like bacon.
Breakfast is my favorite meal.

Interesting to match faces with voices and texts. I had pictured Jeremy as clean cut and in a suit. He would fit right in with that duck call family.

rcstan · Jul 8, 2015

However, when they strip and process Latakia or Perique, it doesn't exactly smell like Heaven......
SPC Restoration is right next door to the C&D area.

Good video. Thanks.

mso489 · Jul 22, 2015

Great video. It ain't mixing a few stray blends in a pottery bowl. Several different presses, up to forty tons, which if I recall is the weight of a loaded cement truck. Those guys work hard. That square of tobacco, when it comes out of the press, looks like a slab of marble, just beautiful. Thanks for bringing this to my attention peck.

aldecaker · Jul 22, 2015

I wish they'd produce more SOTE. Tried to get some from P&C, and it's still back-ordered.

ray47 · Jul 22, 2015

Do you have to grow a beard to work for Cornell & Diehl? :wink:

carytobacco · Jul 22, 2015

You have to have a beard non-ironically, or you have to ironically not have a beard.
Cool video. Thanks for posting it.
