June Tobacco of the Month Nominations

C&D Old Joe Krantz a very nice Burley blend I would have never tried if not for the generosity of @Pugsley . A strong blend but worth a try if you haven't and don't mind a bit of Vitamin-N.


Cornell & Diehl - Old Joe Krantz

Ribbon and coarse cut burleys, perique and red virginia. Shades of brown with the characteristic mustiness of perique.

Notes: Notes from Bob: The blend was named in honor of my grandfather, who was also my pipesmoking mentor and role model. He primarily smoked burleys, like Union Jack and Edgeworth Sliced. I cannot think of a time when I didn't see him w/o one of his beat-up pipes and the aroma of pipesmoke around him. In any case, I was reading the reviews of Haunted Bookshop and Norm Musicant indicated that he liked more red virginia in his blends. Norm is someone whose opinion I respect. I was still looking for a simple hearty burley blend that could hold my interest all day. So, a new blend.
