Since 2002 Jeremy Reeves has been a student of fine tobacco. Having worked as a salesperson and manager in a few tobacco shops, including Iwan Reis, and later Smokingpipes, as well as working in restaurants across the US, an opportunity arose to blend for Cornell & Diehl in 2014, shortly after the company’s merger with Laudisi Enterprises. Since that time Jeremy has continued to explore and find ways to connect his passions for fine pipe tobacco, and for making enjoyable things from scratch, by serving as Head Tobacco Blender for C&D.

Jeremy will demonstrate the making of a blend, going in depth on techniques, and methods of production, as well as a detailed deep dive into each component. Whether you are a hobbyist blender, a pipe tobacco aficionado, or just starting out in the world of pipes, this demonstration and presentation will offer you industry insights, manufacturing perspectives, and perhaps a deeper understanding of the how the tobacco styles we enjoy are created, and how each can be used in a blend to make something truly special.
