Craig Tarler, the founder of Cornell and Diehl and creator of many of our most well-loved blends, apparently died last night in North Carolina, according to C&D's Facebook page.

This man was one of a small group who helped create the "renaissance" in pipe smoking that we are now enjoying the fruits of. It's a tragic loss to our community.

May his memory always be for a blessing. I've just received some C&D Hebraic series blends that I will smoke in his honor.

RIP to an industry icon. It was my first order of C&D samples that really got me to appreciate my pipes. My condolences to his family.

Pipe smokers have all lost an innovator and a pillar of our hobby. He and his creativity will be missed.
