Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut (PS41)

This is a classic cube cut burley with just a bit of virginia for sweetness. In many ways, it reminds me of Carter Hall, but in cube cut form. It probably has more of a topping than CH, though, as there is definitely quite a bit more sweet honey type flavor than would be typical in an uncased tobacco.

Burns very slow, ideal for outdoors in windy conditions.

I find myself impressed with this tobacco. Not impressed from a complex standpoint, more from its straight-forward taste, texture, and aroma.

This can become "bitey" if smoked too hard and quick, but its flavor is very consistent throughout the bowl. I detect a bit of strength at the last of the bowl, otherwise it is a flavorful smoke from the top to bottom of the bowl.

Mostly a matured virginia plug smoker, and strong enjoyment of the heavy Balkan tobaccos, over the last 10-15 years, I have tried more of the "lighter" mixtures/blends. The cube cut is a change of pace and I like to tinker with packing this in different ways and in adjusting the moisture levels. A reasonable price, I usually buy in 1 or 5 pound quantities.

I usually smoke this in a large group 5 size or oversized bowl, and from packing to lighting, I may wait 20 minutes. Cube Cut is an excellent morning and afternoon smoke and like many burley tobaccos, sets up a nice cake quickly. Very much worth a try, and a tobacco that stays in my rotation.

...a pipe is to be savored...

I really enjoy this baccy a lot. As you are filling the pipe squeeze the cubes and break up or flatten out the cube baccy on top. This will help with the lighting and make for even burning.

I like the flavor of the burley. No bite. Just a enjoyable smoke that will get a compliment or two on the aroma. Some nuttiness and it seems to taste a little bit of caramel.

3 1/2 stars.

This is a very delicious cube cute burley/Virginia tobacco top flavored with soft honey like, giving a sweet ?cream caramel? and creamy orange after taste, it tastes tobacco and smells very nice in the pouch. Burns slow, easy and clean. Small bowl seems to give better flavor.

I added this one to my 10 top favorite Va/burley list.

09-22-04 there is not much to say other than this is a staple of mine that I always come back to when taking breaks from all the other tobacs I smoke. My friends always harass me because I smoke this blend, but I guess it reminds me so much of my deceased Father, I just have to have this in my rotation always. You either like the Burley grassiness or you don't. Packs easily, lights easily, has a nutty, sweet finish. I find it as a nice palate cleanser. Lastly, you do have to smoke it like a VA otherwise it will bite your tongue.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Points

I picked up a one-ounce sample of this when purchasing several other 1 oz bulk samples from PS. Overall, I feel PS makes some of the finest budget bulk offerings and this blend was no exception. In fact, if it had a little more heft to it, I would easily put this at four star, but it was just a little too mild for me.

From what I understand this is a virginia/burley mix that has been subjected to a cavendish treatment. This treatment makes this a mild bite free experience which makes smoking this an easy feat. In fact, it can be smoked mindlessly while attending to tasks without the irritating mouth burn that can so often follow such pursuits. It is nutty sweet yet, from what I can tell there is no topping.

Overall, I wish this just had a little more body and strength to it for my personal tastes, but I still managed to smoke through this one-ounce sample in an incredibly short amount of time. If I was still buying tobacco, I would likely get some more of this one. Since this is a rather innocuous cube cut, I could see where many would benefit by just putting this at the base of the bowl while filling the rest with any other blend to make for a better smoking experience of that latter blend. Cube cuts burn nice and even whereas many ribbon cuts suffer as you near the bottom of the bowl. Lining the base with a cube cut eliminates this problem.

A robust, straightforward smoke. Pack loose and sip slow, with Virginia technique, or it might bite.

Bone dry, it's also a great base layer for any tobaccos on top.

As a straight smoke, it's best behaved in tall, narrow chamber. Good for cobs, but can plug the airway. Pack accordingly.

A good break-in, cake building tobacco, at a budget price. Even if the smoke doesn't suit you, keep an aired-out jar handy for every new or refurbished pipe in your arsenal.

단맛의 순설대로 나열한다면 버지니아-벌리-페릭 일것이다. 큐브컷이연초는 벌리의 순서이다. 단맛의 중간정도인데 사람마다 단맛의 정점이 다르다보니 어떤사람은 많이 달큰하다라고도 한다 하지만 나는 그냥 초코케익보다는 소보로빵정도이다. 전체적인 맛의 베이스는 깔끔하다 이다. 순수버지니아의 단맛의 복합적인 베이스보다는 단조롭지만 질리지않는 단맛의 베이스가 매우 기분좋게한다. 버지니아와 카벤디쉬가 들어있다고는 하는데 버지니아의 단맛은 분명존재한다 근데 꽤나 미미한수준이구 카벤디쉬역시 있다고는 하는데 그존재를 모를정도의 맛이다. 꼭 비율로 따지자면 버지니아3:벌리6:카벤디쉬1 뭐 이정도일것이다. 벌크연초의 제왕이라고 불리우는 피터사의 큐브컷연초는 불붙이기가 꽤 힘들것이다 프레스기로 높은강도의 압력을 줘서 잘근잘근 네모형태의 컷형태이지만 아무래도 불붙이기가 힘들다 하지만 한번붙으면 꽤나 잘탄다. 처음불을 사지른다라는 느낌으로 하면 쉬울것이다 대신 파이프림태울것을 항상 염려하다. 오늘 슴슴한 단맛의 큐브컷은 앞으로도 즐길것이다

Solid & dependable from batch to batch. Scratches the same itch as SWR at half the price in bulk. I top it with a pinch of Carter Hall to get a good burn going and keeping those pesky cubes from jumping out of the bowl.
