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.

I love this stuff. Its an american mustang of a blend !
it will kick like a foul tempered old horse if you push it too much and puff too fast. A nice steady hand and a slow pace is really needed here - else the horse kicks and bites. Rum like spice from the perique in small doses followed by a heavy hitting dense strength from the burly. Mollases at times give slight relief or perhaps my misinterpretation of nut like burly at its best. I like a lot of nicotine so dont really notice the strength anymore, i remember being nearly green the first time i tried it though. In short - a mustang.

This is my go to Sunday morning blend. It's an extraordinary full strength tobacco that shines after a big breakfast with a strong cup of coffee. The tin note is musty with some dark fruit. The dark Burley's are bold and have a sharp bitter note that is far from unpleasant and the red Virginias sweetness help to balance that. The Perique is a strong and sometimes brash component here but never completely untamed. Aside from some spice and black pepper the Perique offers there is also some plum/fig going on. I'm amazed at how the three potent and earthy tobaccos combine so well and perform with a level of relative smoothness. I enjoy fading in and out of sleep while smoking this blend early in the morning!

This is an occasional smoke but part of my rotation nonetheless. I am overwhelmed by the sensations the smoke provides but still find it tasteless at times. Billowing smoke,spicy and just plain tobacco flavor. I like it but this is definitely not for everyone. I usually have either OJK or five brothers if I am in the mood for that kind of stuff.

A tough old bird but.....off the truck it was like an El Rico Habano.....N bomb! But as time has passed it has changed in personality, flavor and strength. I get this sensation of too much salt in food.....pleasant but you know your doctor would not approve! I've been smoking a pipe off and on since the mid 70's and no burley blend I ever got a hold of was like this stuff. I'm at the end of a pound and I will be putting some more in the cellar.....I try not to make it an every day deal but somehow I keep reaching for it....I have this little Carey apple that just loves to eats this stuff....I drive a truck and I love the smell when I've been smoking it and have to get out and upon coming back I'm greeted with this earthy, somewhat sweet aroma...what can I tell you...try some if anything here appeals to you but let it rest a bit before passing judgement.....OJK is an old codger for sure but once you get to know him....he's a pretty good old boy!
