The white and dark burleys offer a bit of earth, wood and nuts, some toastiness, a little molasses and bitter cocoa, and a light sharp rough note. They form the base of the blend. The red Virginia provides some earth, wood, bread and tangy dark fruit in a support role. The smoky, woody, earthy, sweet Cyprian Latakia doesn’t seem quite as sweet as usual, and is mostly condimental. The raisiny, plumy, spicy perique is an ever present background player. The mildly applied molasses topping tones down the tobaccos to a small extent. The nic-hit is just past the center of mild to medium, and gets slightly stronger in the last third of the bowl. The strength and taste levels start out as mild to medium, and reach the medium threshold by the half way point. Won’t bite or get harsh, but it does sport some rough edges. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent sweet and slightly savory taste, which translates to the pleasant, lightly lingering after taste. The room note is a slot stronger. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a tad more than an average number of relights. Can be an all day smoke.

Cornell & Diehl - Old Joe Krantz Red Label.
The pouch (I bought from bulk) has an aroma where the Latakia's easily identified but it doesn't smell overly sharp, and it isn't taken over by the Latakia. The moisture can't be faulted, but seeing as this was from bulk a sealed tin might vary.
The Latakia gives a smokiness/woodiness but OJKRL isn't anywhere near what I'd consider a Lat-Bomb. The other leaves all have there say. The Burley tastes a little rustic, toasty, and nutty. I get a fruity note from the red Virginia, which gives the smoke a pleasant buoyancy, and lightens the flavour, somewhat. From the Perique I notice a little touch, but nothing too overt. The same can be said for the black Cavendish. It gives a vanilla-creaminess, but nothing too sticky or aromatic. The smoke has a slight sweetness reminiscent of a mild topping. It burns quite cool and I get no bite.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant.
Old Joe Krantz Red Label? A nice smoke that does justice to three stars:
Recommended.

Very burley. Latakia adds nice smoky hint accented by Periques. To me, the tin note is deceptively lat forward.
Definitely some dark (almost “burnt”) mocha flavors.
Gets very harsh towards end of bowl.

Old joe krantz red is more like the white label than the original blend, a good thing in my opinion. There is a nice sweetness like the white, from the cavendish. Good amount of smoky latakia but not enough to rob the flavor of the OJK.

I enjoyed this blend. Overall, it it fairly flavorful, but not overpowering. Somewhat of a mild English. The latakia is present but does not overtake the other tobaccos. The cavendish adds a nice mellow richness. I cant taste much of the perique. A nice, flavorful blend that easy to smoke
