Finally, the details about this release have been made public, and those looking for controversy should be very happy. Put simply, StillWell Star is “the world’s first luxury pipe tobacco cigar”, a hybrid creation blending traditional cigar tobacco leaves and pipe tobaccos. The aforementioned pipe tobaccos were blended by Jeremy Reeves, head blender of the famed pipe tobacco maker Cornell & Diehl, who is himself is a cigar smoker.
Each of the four cigars in the line are the same size and use the same wrapper and binder, but the filler blends of each incorporate very different combinations of pipe tobaccos, making each a unique experience. Interestingly, while Cornell & Diehl is the supplier of the pipe tobacco for the StillWell Star line, the company is not receiving any additional royalties from the sale of the cigars.
