William Faulkner (1897-1962), who came from an old southern family, grew up in Oxford, Mississippi. He joined the Canadian, and later the British, Royal Air Force during the First World War, studied for a while at the University of Mississippi and temporarily worked for a New York bookstore and a New Orleans newspaper. Except for some trips to Europe and Asia, and a few brief stays in Hollywood as a scriptwriter, he worked on his novels and short stories on a farm in Oxford.  He was awarded the Nobel Prize, two Pulitzers, and two National Book Awards. He wrote screenplays, short stories, and novels, and achieved his greatest fame with tales of the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in the post-Civil War deep south.  Faulkner loved Comoy and Dunhill Pipes.

Absolutely love this blend! This tobacco imparts an exceptional smoking experience, characterized by the exquisite purity of its Virginias. For myself it’s inherent mellowness and dryness on the palate render it an ideal choice for relaxing pursuits during the summertime, such as mowing the lawn, fishing or laying in a hammock. Delicious!

I dearly love this blend and find myself going back to it with frequency. I have recommended it to several folks who have a love for pure Virginia tobaccos with no pretense.
A very relaxing smoke that I love anytime of the year.

I dearly love this blend. Virginia, Virginia and more Virginia! When I am really in a laid back, reflective frame of mind, this is my go to blend.

Smooth, mellow, perfect moisture content. This is an outstanding Virginia flake. This is sophisticated and delicate. No harshness, no tongue bite, holds up to a charcoal filter well, doesn’t get too hot in the pipe, and takes the flame well. This just became my favorite Virginia flake.

How can one express the joys of waking up before the wife, starting the coffee and reaching for the Faulkner jar and rubbing one out before loading a bowl into my Devil Anse, just in time to pour two cups of coffee and heading outside for the first smoke of the day. To add sugar to that cup would only take away from the sweetness of this Virginia blend. Faulkner himself would write an award-winning novel for this award-winning blend.
