Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut (PS41)

I'm a fan of Peter Stokkebye tobaccos, and this is one of my favorites. I've learned to fill my pipe lightly and gently tamp it down. If any of the burning coals drop from your pipe you may burn a hole in your clothes, so smoke it slowly and with care. It delivers a taste of molasses or caramel that I find really nice.

What a great tobacco blend!!! This is awesome I love this pipe tobacco blend so very much, pressed red Virginia and Burley this is such a great smoke, it is so smooth and sweet and having a serious nutty undertone with that tang of Virginia it has me going mmm all the way down, no bite and its earthy natural taste is what I long for in a fine tobacco, this would be great for a beginner especially to turn them on to a wonderful neutral tobacco with so much depth and character. Upon first light it has the best taste and just keeps on giving as you smoke it down and near the end the depth of it is so smooth its quality is very high and in good standing for a all natural tobacco. The tin note is sweet and tangy and smells so good two thumbs up. For packing this tobacco simply gravity feed it into a thin more upright pipe basically with a narrow bowl and you'll be on your way. Once you fill the pipe tamp it lightly but really just press it down slightly with your pinky and light. Then make sure you char it well and then tamp it down lady style and that will get the job done and enjoy, I would let it sit out for a half hour or so otherwise you will find yourself lighting it over again a few times but I could really care less about that because either way its so dang good. It does not pull a snap crackle pop on me and I could only see it biting if you smoke it like a idiot and your trying to keep your face warm on a cold winter night!!! Lol but really if you love burley you will love this and if you love red Virginia you will love this because its that simple with this. Two freaking thumbs up I could see this going so well with a New Castle Brown or a high grade vodka but thats me because this would go good with just about whatever, last night I was drinking Canada dry ginger ale with it and that was great to. I highly recommend this do not miss out on a truly wonderful pipe tobacco blend.

*÷*UPDATE*÷* Tested&Proven Packing and Lighting (Christopher Method) I tried all kinds of different ways to find a fire proof way to pack, light and smoke this fine blend, well with much testing over and over I now can enjoy a pipe of this all the way down and enjoy every bit of it. I'm not a dang know it all I just took alot of time with this blend and tested and worked it over and over and here I am with a perfect full proof method, so go on and give it a go and the only thing you'll get out of it is the enjoyable smoking pleasure of this fine tobacco with no tounge bite or constant relighting. (Make sure you use a slim but semi-tall style of a pipe to get the best smoking exsperiance for this type of cut tobacco if possible) 1. Just take the cube cut and free gravity fill the bowl about 3/4 of the way up. Then rub alittle bit of the cube cut out and fill the rest of the bowl up with it and give it a light tamp. Give it a typical char lighting then tamp it down once again. 2. Smoke it like you smoke any other blend but just don't smoke it hot and heavy you do not want it to burn hot, besides avoiding tounge bite you do not want to miss out on the wonderful taste it has to offer. 3. As you smoke it down just continue to tamp down lightly as you smoke on and use your two fingures to fan the top to keep it going and you'll find the rythem of it quickly and have a awesome smoke until its all finished. This has allowed me to smoke and enjoy this cube cut to the fullest and always relaxed the other ways is constant relighting and always farting with it going out all the time and trying to keep it going. You wanna be able to sit back and smoke this to the end with no hassle and being half way gone before you get it going finally and that's it. I hope this helps and gives you the best dang smoke you can have with Peter Stokkebye's Cube Cut Good Luck!!!

Truly remarkable, I am very pleased with this tobacco. It is quite easy to pack, the tin note is unbelievable with hints of vanilla and sugar cane, very nutty and mellow on the palate, and it does not develop any harsh spots at any point in time. The fact this is a cube cut, means it is very slow burning and easy to smoke. I can detect a topping of some sort, but it is not overpowering leaving enough room for the other tobacco components to show. Also, it evolves quite nicely as you progress with your smoke. It has tangy notes from the virginia leaf it contains. I cannot detect any cavendish, but now and then I am hit with faint chocolate notes that come and go. Highly recommended if you are a burley lover.

Good basic blend, for those times when I want an easy-going, Carter Hall kind of smoke. I may actually prefer this to CH now that I think of it, but I'll keep both around to be safe. Gravity fill it, don't stuff it, and I normally give it 2 or 3 pre-lights to get those cubes all expanded and evened out. Then take it low and slow to avoid any bites. Probably my favorite Stokkebye and one I can smoke back to back bowls of if I so desire.

This is a plain and simple Burley. Nothing too complicated. Tastes a little woody to me and as the smoke goes down gets a little strength toward the end. Far better than the DPE I have gotten in recent years. Cube Cut has no bite, no dottle, easy to load, easy to like.

There is a reason why this tobacco is so inexpensive. It only really tastes anything when it's fresh. But the price to pay is a hot smoking tobacco, as it's very difficult to get going; and it bites, however careful with the cadence I have been! The result was, every time, a scorched mouth. When it's finally at an ideal moisture level (after spending several months in a jar), it is still very hard to get going; it may still smoke much better once properly lit and spare your mouth. But...by then (and contrary to quality tobaccos), it has lost all its flavors while tending to smoke on the hot side. After numerous attempts with it, here is some advice: if you are looking for a good Cube Cut Burley (which is why you bought this one, right?), invest more money and get something good such as J.L. Peretti's BPC (Burley Plug Cut). Granted: it's not quite a Cube Cut, but you'll get a valuable and pleasant smoke. GL Pease Barbary Coast, even though it has a Brandy flavouring, is a delicious Cube Cut made with outstanding Burley. Gee, even Sir Walter Raleigh, for about the equivalent price, is better than Stokkebye's Cube Cut! The reality is that sometimes, you just have to pay more. This is a good example. 1 star.

Cube cut is a smooth burley blend with easy packing and good burn quality. However, the flavor is one dimentional and some herbal like smell. This is not my cup of tea.

This was a really nice smoke, but I just couldn't get it to not bite my mouth...entire mouth that is. It was a very odd sensation to feel my whole mouth hurting. There is something noxious about this and I had to put the pipe down midway. Too bad really, it seemed processed really well in its construction and had a nice aroma.

May all your weed set you at peace.

I liked the taste of this blend but not as much as Carter Hall or Sir Walter Raleigh. On top of that I found this blend difficult to keep lit and had a tendency to bite as others have said. There's better Burley blends out there.

Soli Deo gloria!
