Cornell & Diehl Skyward Gate is a refined, all-Virginia plug tobacco from C&D's Summit Series, a collection inspired by iconic American national park landmarks. Crafted from whole-leaf Red and Orange flue-cured Virginias, this blend showcases the natural character of premium Virginia leaf without added flavorings.
Pressed into a dense plug, Skyward Gate develops a smooth, deeply integrated flavor profile marked by natural sweetness, dark citrus notes, toasted grain, fresh-baked bread, and subtle baking spices. The pressing process enhances the richness of the Virginias while promoting a cool, slow-burning smoke that rewards careful preparation and leisurely puffing.
Medium in body with a naturally sweet aroma, Skyward Gate offers Virginia enthusiasts a nuanced and contemplative smoking experience. Expect layers of tangy red Virginia richness balanced by brighter citrusy highlights from the orange leaf, producing an elegant smoke that evolves throughout the bowl without becoming harsh or biting.
