Greetings all:
Our June tobacco crawl will be hosted by my friend Jeremy Reeves, the new Head Blender and Production Manager for Cornell & Diehl.
Jeremy has been an avid pipe smoker for over a decade. He is as passionate about pipes, pipe tobacco, and blending tobacco as a man can be.
Until recently Jeremy worked in customer service for SmokingPipes.com. He has been my mentor and has guided me through both pipe purchases and my exploration of tobacco blends. He directed me to GL Pease Quite Nights when I was in search of an alternative to Penance. He knew my tastes so well, that he encouraged me to buy a half-pound on my first order, saying he would personally buy it back from me if I didn't like it. I'm into my third half-pound can, so you know I did.
Jeremy's experience as a tobacco shop manager, as well as a wood-fire pizza chef, give him unique insight into running a boutique blending operation like Cornell & Diehl. When he isn't running the factory he enjoys the outdoors, particularly camping and hiking. He's an "adventurous eater," and has an expressed love for trying new things and attempting to recreate them in his kitchen at home, which is another reason he's such a great fit at C&D. Born in Portales, New Mexico, Jeremy is a bit of a rolling stone. He has called Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, and Portland home, before moving to South Carolina, my place of birth, where we hope he will stay.
Jeremy is moving operations, including C&D inventory and machinery from North Carolina and setting up shop in Little River, SC. Like our mutual friend Russ Oulette, he'll stop in on our crawl regularly, with comments, observations and answers to your questions.
I'll be posting Jeremy's Picks for this month's crawl shortly.
