Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz
(3.22)
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 pipe smoke 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.

Harsh and that's being kind. Medium strong but sharp and bitey.. Tin note is mostly prunes but there's no prune sweetness in the smoke. Nic hit is medium, which is a little of a surprise given the taste. . I'm with the reviewer below that one needs an asbestos tongue to consider this an "all day smoke". If you like Perique, Exclusive has as much and is a better bet. If you want a "strong" Burley smoke, G&H Brown Irish X Twist is worth the hassle of prepping. If you're looking for a mortification for Fridays in Lent, you've found it in Old Joe Krantz.

Strong vegetal, mushroom and damp wood at first light. Unpleasant nose note immediately. Three tries of this blend and I have come to the conclusion either this is terrible or just not for me. I never finished a full bowl and find the aroma of the tin and the room note repulsive. I cant say anything I enjoyed about meeting Old Joe. ZERO stars. -Spiral Out
