- Ever wanted to blend your own pipe tobacco at home? Learn the basics of small-scale, at-home blending with Jeremy Reeves in this behind-the-scenes seminar. From recommended sample sizes and ideal moisture levels, to hand-mixing techniques and casing suggestions, we'll walk you through each step.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge with the rest of the pipe community.
Thank you for the kind comment! I am learning all the time and it's an honor to share that! To me, that is what makes tobacco so cool. There is always more to learn.
Ditto
Simply a brilliant and relaxed presentation that I found at the perfect time as I plan to re-blend and top some English blends more to my preference. Cheers from Australia.
My dad use to own a tobacco shop and blend his own mixes. This video brought me back to some old core memories and smells. Thanks for that.
I'm a big fan of C&D, the videos, the labels, the cordial atmosphere one sees from interactions abroad on other channels...makes me feel as part of a community. And, the tobacco blends are wicked good. Long Live the Exhausted Rooster! Keep them Hen's a cluckin'.
I have been blending for several years now and it’s wonderful to see a master at work. Yes I use many components from your company to blend with. Thank you for taking the time to show us your genius.
I look forward to any of your videos!!I hope you continue with these videos.😎
I say it again and again, I could just sit and listen to Jeremy all day long.
Why thank you very much! I got a face made for radio, as they say.
Your content is great! Thanks so much for the hard work that goes into everything you guys do.
Between the beard and the black gloves I'm expecting Jeremy to serve me up a pulled pork sandwich and a half slab of ribs 😂
Made pulled pork this weekend, as a matter of fact!
Dude you are going full blown George RR martin
Haha, chubbier than I would like, for sure.
Jeremy finishes what he starts, though, and makes genuine masterpieces.
@@NikeaTiber Thank you so much!
Real men have beards 🧙♂️
Thanks Jeremy- great video. I love watching these informative videos that you & C&D put out. America is lucky to have you.
Very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching!
From perspective of a student crtiqueing a teacher. FLAWLESS!!!! Intersting/informative/clear/concise. An example of clear knowledge & skill & an inspiration ! I thuroughly enjoyed your presentation & the courtesy you showed by presenting this tradition with us. Tyvvm good sir. Ppl like you encourage & sustain interest in pipe smokeing. So appreciated !❤❤❤
Wow, thank you. I am truly humbled by your comment. I am and hope to always be a student. If I can share what I have learned along the way, all the better. Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for making this video. It truly has been very helpful and informative. I hope that you continue to make these videos for us home blending enthusiasts. Keep up the great work 😉
This is really encouraging. After having so many great and interesting blends, it's encouraging to see how uncomplicated the process is. Something to try at home. Thank you, Jeremy!
Hey Jeremy Fantastic video as always I was really interested in the blending 101 course. Thanks for going into so much detail. Who better to get lessons from than a master blender. I might even try it now. Cheers, Jim
Jim, thanks so much for tuning in! Details are my favorite part of just about anything I enjoy doing. Some call it "getting into the weeds" but to me, that's the garden! I hope you do try your hand at blending. It's fun and even if it doesn't take, you'll likely learn something new about the tobaccos you're using and the manufactured blends that you enjoy as well. Best, Jeremy
Is there an actual blending 101 course that you can take or watch? Thanks! 😊
Perfect timing! I have just been getting interested in at-home blending.
Love the Iron Heart shirt brother. Thanks for the valuable blending information.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it.
Beautiful!
Super helpful! Thank you JR!
Really fun. I enjoyed this
Sounds great so far
Lots of useful tips! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Fantastuc content. Love this!
I have been doing my blending all wrong. Thanks, Jeremy, for the basics. I learned some great tips.
Great video…thanks Jeremy! 😊
The best of videos! A pleasure to watch and most informative, thank you, and keep up the beautiful art!
Very interesting video! I enjoy seeing how you blend tobaccos!
Wow! Great video Jeremy! Thank you very much for sharing your master blending techniques, it has been very helpful and fun. I'm looking forward to trying out this particular blend. Happy Blending and Happy Smokes!
amazing video ! thank you so much best regards from Mexico.
Great tips as always Jeremy thanks for educating us tobaccy nerds!
Very very interesting and helpful, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making this video! I started smoking pipes, and really enjoy your videos.
wonderful information, jeremy...thanks. looking forward to the follow up video already...
awesome video and it gave me some ideas of what tobaccos to try next. Im new but blending has been half the fun of smoking pipes for me so far.
I enjoy listening to you describe how the blending process works and I have learned a lot in a short video, your passion shines through. A lot of what you mention makes a lot of sense and I have slowly began to test adding more of the CnD Perique to some of my favorite blends and wow what a difference a little can make (Fantastic added into Sillems Black) Cheers Jeremy and thanks for the video!
Great video! I hope you will post one with any adjustments that you make. That would be incredibly interesting to see the continuing process. Cheers!
Thanks Jeremy!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
I use a spray bottle to add the flavour and mist spray it to get a better distribution of alcohol and flavour .
thank you, master.
Too kind. I am not a master of anything. But I really appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!
Start small! Great advice! Great video! Thank you, Sir!!!
I've learned a lot of good stuff from this! 😀
Love your blends dude
Thank you so much!
one of the coolest guys
Too kind, sir. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video Jeremy
Thank you so much!
thank you
Jeremy, this is outstanding. Thanks so much. I can’t think of a better way to get into blending, and I’m totally going to follow along at home.
Thanks so much for participating! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
Thanks good job
I bought a can of cross eyed cricket. Wow that was tasty! 3 years of pipe smoking. That's my 3rd favorite. 1. Plum pudding 2. Chocolate moose 3. Cross eyed cricket
Thank you
Thanks alot sir👍👍
the best tobaccos on earth... Outcome will be splendid
Thank you.
Peter stokkebye has some great blends.
Fantastic video. I’ll try this. Sometimes, I will blend tobacco that I don’t like, with some that I do, but it’s always small scale. Saves it from waste, and stretches my favorites m. C&D makes it too easy, by selling excellent tobacco.
I buy bulk ribbon cut perique and use it with a handful each of VA and burley. It takes these perfectly wonderful varietals to another place or level. A Sterlite salad bowl with cover serves as my workspace AND storage as I typically smoke a Sterlite bowl at a time. ha ha. I usually mix up about 2 oz at a time, just grabbing stuff by the hand and then the toss in the bowl using my fingers as separating forks, like Jeremy was doing.
Great videos as always Jeremy. I notice your cube cut burley shrunk considerably over the last 5 or six years maybe more. How do u keep the small cubes from escaping from the mixture due to their size? Also if I want to make 4 oz of mixture do I 1/4 the volume of topping?
Nice.
That 10% perique changed the whole blend. I'd be curious to try this.
You don't realize how lucky you are to be in a free country.
in Europe (apart Germany and England) no tobacco Culture, cigarettes and propaganda + prices worthy of a war!!
Thank you for this freedom video 👍🏻💖🌹
Here in Greece the prices of cigar and pipe tobacco( and the lack of blends) is criminal. Spain and Italy are way cheaper than gayreece
How much distilled water did you use?
Great video. Going to add this recipe to my repertoire.
Jazz hands and spirit fingers sounds like a really kooky crime fighting duo
I like my blends with a few beard hairs in there, that’s the burly.
Guys are supposed to get worse at dressing the older they get, not better. Someone has been hanging around Truett and Shane 🤩
No need for me to comment on the tobacco because everyone here knows Jeremy is a legend.
I'll take that. Pretty sharp dressers, those fellas. :) Thanks for watching.
Ah, a new TH-cam genre: tobacco ASMR. Genius! Haha
Haha! You're on to us! Thank you for watching.
Question: I bought a great many tins of C&D Dreams of Kadath with it's large whiskey topping.
How does a tin with a high alcohol content age compared to just a pure tobacco cake?
This is one cool dude
Thanks. So much for this, I am just beginning to do home blending, mostly with your components. Would you recommend starting with a 1 oz mixture or is that too small?
Thank you so much for watching! I am really glad to hear that this was helpful to your home blending and that you are making use of our components. 1oz. is not too small at all. In fact, I often make .5 or .25 oz samples to start. Once I find a mix that I like, then I will scale up. Just work in percentages so that whatever batch size you choose to make, you can be very precise in your measurements.
Can dried ground spices be used in place of liquid flavor mixtures if moisture content is already good?
Great timing, just as I began experimenting with this myself. Maybe I had a lucky start, but I really enjoy this simple blend I made...
45% Matured Red Virginia
45% Perique
10% Green River Black Cavendish
thats a lot of Perique in there . I'd be more inclined to use 45% GR Black Cavendish and 10% Perique .
@@mista2621 I love perique... The blend is in a similar vein as C&D's Exclusive
Hi, nice video, may i know what Haunted bookshop have topping or casing or both?
I don't smoke, but I have never wanted to smell a video so badly in my life.
You should start, it’s good for you.
If i tell u i want to make a sweetisch Tobacco with a gentle but still very present spice.. could u tell me what i would need for this? :o i am thinking about making my own blends :) the sweetness should almost taste like maple sirup, woody for the spice side :) my guess was virginia gold and maybe any kind of orient on top? but i think after i saw your video i need not only 2 to actually get wat i want :o
Sr Jeremy Reaves bom dia, quando o senhor faz as suas misturas, deixa na caixa que o senho fez o bolo ou colocaria numa caixa de madeira para envelhecimento igual ao vinho? Saudações de Vargem-Sp Brasil.
More ytpc awesomeness
Do pipe or cigar shops usually cell loose leaf chew, and dips? I'm looking for places that will have more inventory than a gas station
Sell*
👏👏👏👏
Wish you'd blend some more Carolina Red Flake with that new 31 Farms Perique! 🤞🤞
Actually we already have! The second time we released CRFwP, we used 31 Farms Perique. That was the first thing we made with their Perique, as a matter of fact!
@@jeremyreeves6425 I just cracked a tin of that on Sunday. It's really great stuff. I would love another CRF w/Perique release if you've got a red virginia worthy of it.
@@Lighter420 Then you will be pleased to see what we are planning for the fall! Stay tuned!

If I want to blend in already processed tobaccos that are wet, should I dry them out first?
If you are blending with packaged, moist tobaccos, then additional moisture won't be necessary, so no need to dry down your components first.
Goood🎉
👍
What's up JC?
As a fellow knife and pipe enthusiast I enjoy your content. I actually sharpen/restore/repair knives
Nice Chris Reeve Sebenza in your profile photo! That's a bucket list pipe for sure! My EDC is currently a customized Benchmade Barrage.
can we use a sugar and vinegar solution to rehydrate it
Experimentation is recommended!
Raise pH-level with vinegar?
looking for a blend called old mule
Is the secret ingredient a snub or two of that glorious beard hair?
BTW you look fairly young, surprised and a little jealous of your wizard-like looks and capabilities.
I'm pretty confident I've smoked some of this dude beard at some point
Haha, we wear beard nets, hair nets and gloves during real manufacturing.
I love C&D products, especially the Black Cherry and the Apricots and Cream. I am however really frustrated. I have been searching to all of my capacity and know to find out how to make an aromatic tobacco. Nobody has any professional guide on this. I find a lot of shoot from the hip we're going to try something aromatic blenders, but nobody really explains the process at all. I have books of over 140 English tobacco blends, but nothing about aromatics except maybe a page in the entire book. I don't want any trade secrets, or fine details on what the blend is or even what the topping is. But I would like to know if the topping is oil based, alcohol extract based, PG based, some combination of that, or maybe even something completely different I have not heard about or are overlooking. Just something other than cased English blends to the max. I love English blends. I just want to see anything aromatic as I have not found what I would consider to be a reputable source on this. Thanks
Здравствуйте Сэр не поделитесь рецептами английских смесей .
@@user-fm2dp5iu7r That makes 0 sense what you posted.
Interesting!

Thanks for watching, David!
Vinegar contains acetic acid; it lowers the pH!
Weeds never looked better
That is a hat you have to commit to
😂
I intensely dislike the taste of burley in any tobacco blend. Maybe I’m just allergic to it.
...but why not just pick up the container and gently shake it? Eh, what am I missing here??
I like to call pipe tobacco pipe weed because I’m a Lord of the Rings fan!!!
Why would I want to blend pipe tobacco with 2 humans? Seems like a risk not worth the smoke.
I don’t think I understand what you mean. 2 humans? I’m missing something here. Please say more?
…was für ein bramborium, er soll sich gefälligst nen Bartschutz anziehen!! Habe keinen Bock auf Haare im Tabak.
Not sure what it is about C&D that irks me but this man, wearing this outfit, and never breaking above deadpan monotone elitist lecture voice, reminds me of a hipster-run gastro pub; the food may be quite tasty and the drinks a delight but it's the general attitude and demeanor of the staff that make me not want to return anytime soon. They tend to cater to a certain crowd of like-minded individuals who revel in their ability to take a simple pleasure, such as pipe tobacco, and overanalyze it to death until there's no pleasure remaining for the average Joe to enjoy. Sure, they'll talk your ear off about the means by which they concoct their libations and what constitutes a great Old Fashioned but their smug attitude can't be hidden by the artificial guise of friendliness and being there to guide you through their superiority complex. Just me? Alright... Maybe I'm just jealous of his leather Daddy cap. Lovely video, C&D. I appreciate the informative lesson.
Thanks for the well written critique. Man, I am just a nerd, just some guy that has been working in, with and around tobacco for a couple of decades and I am lucky enough to work for my one of my favorite companies for 10 years as their Head Blender. I don't really know what a hipster is. It seems to be one of those non-substantive blanket terms that has a generally negative connotation but that just means whatever the speaker wants it to mean.
Not much I can do about my natural speaking voice or cadence, unfortunately, but I will definitely take any style tips you wanna share. ;) I wear work shirts because I do physical work, have a beard because I hate to shave, wear a cap because I am bald and sun burn easily and wear glasses because I can't see well, for whatever that's worth. But this video isn't about me or what I look like, that's just how I look. It's about the tobacco blend I am making and the information and tips I am trying to provide to home blenders and pipe enthusiasts about how a blend can come together.
I would definitely love to hear any suggestions you have about how we could improve our content. What could we do to make a presentation like this more enjoyable to you? My goal is to provide accessible, informative content that helps people to get more enjoyment out of their pipe hobby experience, and provides some insight into the tobacco styles we use in our blends. I don't want to alienate anybody. That's the last thing I want to do and I am very open to hearing your thoughts about ways we can improve. Feel free to hit me up. My email is info@cornellanddiehl.com and my phone is 1-800-433-0080 ext. 108 The newsboy cap is from Dapper's, btw. They make great stuff. Hope to hear from you soon. And thanks for watching.

@@jeremyreeves6425 Wellp! You've singlehandedly restored my faith in people, and I take back anything unjustly-negative I've ever thought (or in this case typed!) about you and/or C&D because of my preemptive bias... Those are words I never thought I'd type in response to one of my snarky and sarcastically backhanded friendly TH-cam comments. I really am now looking forward to a genuine handshake and small chat over a baccy bowl at some future event, wherever and whenever that may be! Truthfully and honestly, wishing you the best, Jeremy! Cheers, dude 😤
Thank you for responding! I look forward to the handshake and sharing a bowl of tobacco with you . I’ll be at the International Las Vegas Pipe Show in October and I attend the Chicago Show every year. I also do events in a handful of shops every year, and those are scattered across the country.
If you come to any of those events, please come say howdy!
@@jeremyreeves6425 As a person Growing Tobacco at home here in New Zealand I love your Blending videos and the Videos you've made of C&D in production mode . They have taught me alot about Blending my own Crops . Just like other videos have taught me how to cure tobacco , to make my own Cavendish or Dark Fire tobaccos . Your are certainly a wealth of knowledge and thanks for sharing with Us all
