Cornell & Diehl - Old Joe Krantz White Label (Old Joe).

A well rubbed, mostly medium brown blend that's of a good hydration. I bought from bulk. I opened this prior to checking the ingredients but the unlit aroma clarified this as being an Old Joe without Latakia.

I find the most flavour from the Burley, with the Virginia in second place. The Perique's been added in the right quantity as to give a clear, definite, spice, without taking over. This sits in third position. The black Cavendish has been included in an extremely minimal quantity, I find myself struggling to identify any. Providing it's puffed without too much force it burns OK, but it doesn't take much effort to increase the speed. The nicotine isn't very strong and the room-note isn't very good.

Quite a mild blend without many 'stand out' flavours. Sadly I'm rating this lower than the two previous reviewers. I find it a bit of a bore.

Somewhat recommended.

The cut is a narrow chopped ribbon. There is a mild spice in the pouch note. Mine came at a good level of hydration.

First I have to say that the only association with the original OJK is in the name. In a blind test, I never would have guessed they were in the same family of blends. The smoke is a basic mild-med VaBur and presents more as an OTC. It is slightly sweet and has a fruit note that is probably a mix of the Virginia and a little perique. There "may" be a mild topping. This is a fairly mild smoke overall, and I am reminded more of Derby Club smoking it than OJK. It packed and burned well. It would probably suit the all-day one-blend smokers out there. I realize that is a small and shrinking population, and they probably settled on Prince Albert 40 years ago.

This one is really a three, but I am going to penalize it a point for the false advertising in the name.
