Cornell & Diehl Pegasus
(3.34)
Three burley tobaccos, two Virginias, and a touch of unsweetened black cavendish form a classic American blend, hearkening back to the days when burley was king in American pipe tobacco blends.
Notes: Reminiscent of old original Bond Street blend.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Grampa with this blend. For years, with rare exception, I've avoided blends with burley. Recently, I've come to enjoy a number of them including some by Cornell & Diehl. There's something about Pegaus that really turns me off. I suspect it has something to do with either they type, processing, or the amount of the burley. Whatever it is, I just don't enjoy the flavor.
Add a star or two if you're a big fan of burley, as notwithstanding what I have said, as this is surely a quality blend.

Burley forward. Dry, the black cavendish if it is there is almost non-existant in adding any flavor. One fo the flattest tasting tobaccos I have ever had and C&D I am suprised. Even the burley did not have any taste. Upon opening the tin, it was dry, very low moisture. Lit well burned ok, a bit of bite.
