Memories of Charlie
February 25, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Crowley's Best Bulk
Love this tobacco, use to smoke it most mornings with a good strong cup of black coffee, with my trusty friend Charlie by my side. He passed away this year, so I dedicated this great tobacco in his memory.
Worth ordering again

I just reordered this tobacco again. I had aged the previous purchase for 3 years before I smoked it. I thought it a very nice change of pace... mild taste, good burn and very pleasant room note.

Burley lovers would disagree but I found this too rough. Burley does not smooth over well with Latakia. Pass for me.

Crowley's Best (CB) has been in my regular rotation for a while now, and I really enjoy the blending and the marriage of the Burley, Latakia, and Perique. The Burley brings something different and unique to the more usual pairing of Virginias with P... Read More
erique and Latakia. CB has much darker and deeper undertones in terms of taste, and I did not warm to it at first. I had to back off my puffing tempo and take my time to enjoy the Burley addition. With a cooler burn the Burley provides a complex bottom end that Virginias often lack. It is not an all day smoke, but it is a great single pipe of the day in the late afternoon or after work.

I love this blend and have been enjoying it for many years. It is all about burley, with latakia and perique along for the ride as condiments. Easy to light and stays lit. Produces lots of smoke, and has a great burley taste. Nice fine ash remains wi... Read More
th very little dottle. For some reason, this blend doesn't get a lot of attention, but it should. Truly, if you enjoy a solid, burley based smoke, you should buy an ounce or two and see what you think. Me? This is one of the few blends I will always have on hand.
By the way: if you enjoy the Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake blends, you might enjoy this on the occasions when you want something a bit lighter Read Less
Bold natural flavor w/ minimal bite
April 03, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl Crowley's Best Bulk
Excellent stuff, Crowley's Best. The bold, savory flavor of the Burley is accompanied by a slight note of Latakia, but the Latakia is definitely in the background and not the foreground. I can't say the Perique is very noticeable but I realize people... Read More
s' palates are different. I found this blend to be basically bite-free. I've been puffing it steadily with no stinging of the tongue or the nostrils. It's a nice, no-nonsense tobacco. Jim Crowley would approve. I smoked mine in a Michael Kabik freehand. Read Less
Sleepy Jim Returns To Carry It Across The Line
October 01, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Crowley's Best Bulk
Like another unique C&D blend, Morley’s Best, Crowley’s Best smells in the pouch as much like an English tobacco as Early Morning Pipe, or Nightcap. You sniff again, and know you’re smelling Latakia. But you’d understood this was a burley when you pl... Read More
aced the order...you lean closer...you can see the black ribbons amongst the comparatively greater portion of the dark brown burley. And when you ignite said ribbons, your impressions change. This is no English, but instead a burley blend seasoned by a small portion of black Latakia, making for a smooth smoke, featuring an uncommon marriage in a burley. But you know, Sleepy Jim Crowley was himself an uncommon gridiron legend. I’m glad C&D honored him with his own blend. He returns from the grave, and football heaven, to carry it across the goal line with this one. 4.5 stars. Read Less

My best burley mixture so far
August 22, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Crowley's Best Bulk
Sincerely,I'm one of those 'say-nah-to-burley' guy. However, Latakia and Perique in this mixture well-cover burley's 'unpleasant' side and also has a good balance.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Crowley's Best Bulk
The only blend I smoke with latakia.Sweet,Smokey and smooth.I think the perique leaves a creamy after taste.Just a good tasting blend.
