Cornell and Diehl Opening Night There’s no red carpet or tuxedos here, just a solid blend that earns applause the old-fashioned way—by smoking beautifully from first light to last ash. Opening Night from Cornell & Diehl is a straight Virginia flake, and when we say straight, we mean it. No toppings, no extras—just the real deal.

It’s a blend of bright and red Virginias, pressed into a dense flake and sliced fine. The tin note has that natural hay and tang—if you’ve ever handled fresh-cut field tobacco or nosed a bale of sun-cured leaf, you’ll feel right at home.

Once lit, it’s a gentle, flavourful performer. Think bready sweetness, citrusy high notes, and just enough earthy undertone to hold the whole show together. Burns steady if you treat it right—fold and stuff, rub it out, whatever your method, it delivers.

It’s the kind of tobacco you reach for when you want honest Virginia character without theatrics. If you're keen on the nuanced depth that only well-handled leaf can give, Opening Night deserves a standing ovation.
