The white and dark burleys offer a bit of earth, toast, wood and nuts, a little molasses and bitter cocoa, and a light sharp rough note. They form the base of the blend. The grassy, tart citrusy Virginia flake plays a support role. The unsweetened black cavendish chips in with a little smoothing sugar. The raisiny, plumy, earthy, spicy perique is an important condiment that you notice in every puff. The strength is a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium. The taste is a slot past that, but doesn't reach the medium mark. The nic-hit is a rung below the strength level. No chance of bite, and has no harshness. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with fairly consistent, sweet, slightly savory flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. Is an all day smoke if you choose. Three and a half stars out of four.

I am a huge fan of old joe krantz so I had to try the other labels. White was the first. The Cavendish gives it a sweetness bump, a nice natural sugary flavor. There is less perique and nicotine but the flavor is still there

Somewhat similar to OJK, but toned down. No rough edges, very creamy, and nutty. Both the perique and the black cavendish are difficult to spot, but they play a role in the smoking experience setting it apart from the other 3 blends bearing the same name. This one is probably the milder and softer on the palate, and the creamy profile is probably coming from the cavendish. I detected citrusy notes here and there, but the overall profile is dominated by the burley leaf. The blending components have been mixed with purpose, and the final product is quite round and balanced. The last quarter of your bowl is a little bit of a let down though as you loose some of the sweetness, but overall I am quite pleased with this product. 3.5 stars.
