This is everything I have been missing since the G&H line has gone awol, very rich and satisfying.

Surprising tobacco, without realising there is cigar leaf in the mix I got the impression of a mild "dry sweet" virginia with a little burley. Once I read there was some cigar leaf in there, I can taste it now. This is a really decent tobac... Read More
co, it's mild and would make for a good all day smoke. It doesn't bite and has a dry sweetness to it which appeals to me. Read Less

Billy Budd is a regular in my lineup, and now there is another great variation. Has already found a home with me.

ing a cheap cigar. Outside of white burly and cigar leaf you can hardly taste any other varietals in this blend. It needs Latakia for some complexity and/or Cavendish to take the edge off the Burly/Cigar leaf. Read Less
A VaPer with pizzazz!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde 2oz
If you love VaPers and Virginia/Burley blends you'll find this to be right in your wheelhouse. The pinch of cigar leaf combines beautifully with the base ingredients to give the blend a somewhat oriental character, which I find delightful.

I am Japanese. Pipe is still a beginner. I tried about 20 types. This is number one. Because the sweetness and sourness match. You look amazing. I will buy it again. I want to add 5 stars, but for some reason I can't.
The perfect social blend
July 18, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde Bulk
This blend is beautifully balanced, well behaved, and full of flavor. A perfect daily go to or social tobacco. It is very forgiving allowing you to focus more on your conversation and less on your cadence. For a non-aromatic it gives off a very pleas... Read More

I Thought It Wasn't Possible

Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde Bulk
For the last 15 years or so, it seemed Old Joe Krantz was the reigning, defending, undisputed big cat daddy of my rotation. I've tried many very good tobaccos over the years, none of which seemed to compare. Then along comes Billy Budd Blonde. They ... Read More
are very similar and simultaneously delightfully different. Their similarity is overall character. They're both unabashed members of the Codger Burley genre. Straight up, tobacco forward blends that I could totally see any of the gruff, hard working old men of my childhood enjoying on a regular basis. All the vitamin N a growing boy needs. The difference between them is in delivery. OJK is borderline harsh and about as nuanced as a punch in the face. BBB is a bunch smoother by comparison and much less toothy (probably because it's not nearly as perique heavy.) Nevertheless, it's a sophisticated type of cigary. A previous reviewer said it was reminiscent of a Romeo y Julieta cigar. I get that. Now kick in a bit of that natural choclatey tone in burley, the subtle sweetness of Virginia and just enough perique for a fruity, earthy (not spicy) tone to appear and fade intermittently. All things considered, it's a great stablemate for OJK and easily an all day everday smoke for Codger Burley fans and cigar guys. Read Less
Tangy sweet Virginia

Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde Bulk
Pleasantly surprised by this blend. A nice natural sweet tang mixed with hits of light pepper and med nic hit. I really like it a lot. The broken flake is aesthetically pleasing and hay-fresh cut field room note. Aftertaste of pure Virginia with a li... Read More

Excelent!

It has a very pleasant natural jam. But it must be smoked slowly and in the right pipes. I just use straight pipe for him. Otherwise you will have a banal tobacco and you will wonder why the hell has such good reviews.

I bought a pound for aging. It didn't work out.I smoked everything.I didn't even understand how it happened.Great stuff.
Decent Va/Per

I wish they would have named this something besides "Billy Budd." It has very little in common with the original BB. Generally, the Virginia and Perique are what stand out, with an occasional light cigar taste that comes and goes and the bu... Read More
rleys add a rough edge from time to time. It's not bad, but a bit disappointing when expecting a lighter form of BB. I think a dab of unsweetened Cavendish would make this blend better by mellowing some of the rough edges. I'm going to jar it up and give it a few months to see if the flavors come together a bit and I it smoothes out with age. I'll update the review if things change significantly. Read Less

Very disappointed with this one. Arrived dry as hay, all components work together to make a dull and harsh smoke

Tired of latakia blends? This a mid-med that is subtle. If your not paying attention this smokes fairly easy and with a a subtle flavor. If you pay attention you get to notice a few things. If their is black cav in this its used in the best of ways. ... Read More
(undetected). This blend is very rich and reminded me of temple bar but instead of oriental leaf they used cigar. Well worth a try if you like your tobac strong but on a leash. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde 2oz
The only thing this has in common with the original Billy Budd is the inclusion of cigar leaf. The blends could not be more different. I like both, but I'll smoke this one all year round, though not as a regular. The fact that it's available in bulk ... Read More

Got this blend smoked it out of a fresh cob instantly fell in love. I’m a fan of Virginia blends and this hits all levels don’t look for complexity’s or different room notes.. enjoy the sweetness and hint of spice

I always have seemed to get into every single tobacco blend I've bought so far. Some better than others of course. But this just doesn't take. It's as if I crushed up left over cigar leaf and started smoking it. I've tried sitting with this to see if... Read More
anything else comes out, but nope. Just cigar leaf. Not pleasant, and boring. This will be the last thing I smoke inside my bunker when I've ran out of everything else. Read Less

The Perfect Blend

The perfect mixture of all the components in Billy Budd Blonde are perfect in my opinion. Quality natural tobacco flavor that produces a very tasty & pleasant smoke.
Interesting blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde Bulk
The blend is well balanced and is very easy to smoke. The cigar leaf together with perique increase the complexity of the smoke. Great blend.
Well rounded.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde Bulk
To me, the burley and cigar leaf are the stars of the show here. The virginia is still very forward, it's almost as if they take turns as to which will hit your tongue first, but they're all coming through together. The perique, to my taste, plays a ... Read More
very important supporting role while still being detectable. The black cavendish helps smooth it all together, really just helps the texture. I don't really notice the flavor except in the aftertaste. Really good nicotine hit. The room note is very much like a naturally sweet cigar, very pleasant to me, but I don't think the girlfriend would be happy if I smoked this one inside. Read Less

Package note of pungent stink, mild cocoa and vegetation. Tobacco is a mix of broken flake and ribbon cut of orangish brown, tan and a little darker brown. Moisture content is great. No drying/prep needed. Burns moderate with few relights. The streng... Read More
th is medium to strong and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of peaty fermented vegetation, dry sour, spiced raisins, bitter dark cocoa, slightly acidic, spicy cigar, tart and tangy dark fruit, floral, herbal grass, a savory nutty citrus background note, and a very peppery retro. Burley is leading with Cigar, Perique and Virginia supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is good. Read Less
It's nothing like the original Billy Budd.

I bought this blend, thinking it is a toned down version of the Original Billy Budd. I was wrong. It lacks taste and complexity. Faint cigar leaf is there but does not give me the satisfaction of the original Billy Budd.
Surprised

I like to smoke cigars and this tobacco, despite not being aromatic, I found it a good tobacco, its incredible cut. I was pleasantly surprised.
Almost perfect

One of the best blends after aging for a bit. The cigar leaf is a tad overbearing initially, but once it settles in, it's a fine smoke indeed.
A lot going on here

For my taste, the cigar leaf is to the fore and I find no sweetness. It is a great smoke with a big nic hit.
Better than the original

Nice blend if you like a little cigar ( I smoked cigars for years and I am coming back to my pipes ) but I have ghosted a great pipe that I can't smoke anything on now untill I fix it or just give it up to this blend
Not enough VA, to much Per
February 03, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Blonde Bulk
I'm not a VA/Per fan because the Perique just doesn't agree with me. But I do appreciate a good blend of VA burley. There is nothing special about this blend. The cigar leaf is delightful but the rest of the ingredients just lay there.
