Named in honor of Pierre Chenet, the farmer accredited with discovering the process that turns Burley into Perique in 1824, Cornell & Diehl's popular Cellar Series blend, Chenet's Cake, is a combination of Virginia and Perique, pressed into an old-fashioned crumble cake, a Perique powerhouse for those who simply can't get enough of this "truffle of tobaccos."
