Cigar-like

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
As a recent convert to the pipe from cigars, this blend tastes a lot like a good cigar. Plenty of flavor and nicotine. Old Joe will kick your butt, in a good way!

Not bad, but not my ‘cuppa’
April 18, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
I was excited to try OJK, given the reviews I’ve read on it, and that it’s a Runowski creation. However, I found it to be a bit rough and ‘dark’. Very much like a cigar. I’m a cigar smoker, so that’s not a bad thing necessarily, but OJK didn’t do it ... Read More
for me. This was surprising since I’m definitely a Burleyophile and a Runowski fan. It’s worth a try for sure, but I have to say I’d trade what I have left for something else, given the chance. It won’t deter me from eventually trying the red and white mixes of OJK. I’ll let it age for a few months and depending on how it tastes then, I may update my review. Read Less

Full of Depth and Flavor
October 28, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
I recently purchased 4 oz of OJK and have smoked about 15 bowls of it. It definitely lives up to the hype. It has such a depth of flavor that fully lasts until the last puff. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a highly palatable smoke.
yes grandfather!

i must say this is stronger than indicated. dry smoking, as big as any burley i,ve tried,more complex than the first smell seemed. i mixed big and burley with pa and it was almost as good as this. a winner!
nice mouthful of dense deliciousness

Go Joe Krantz, lets never stop making this blend, not for the faint of heart, beginners beware but nothing to be afraid of, just take it slow, sip it like a fine Barrossa Valley port.
When first lit it can take your breath away, then it settles down... Read More
and lets you appreciate the effort that has gone into blending such a fine offering, old school at its best put some away in a mason jar and cellar it like a fine wine, surely worth it and you shall be rewarded in time, kind regards, from Adelaide, Australia.

Burley; robust. Virginia; sweet. Perique; spicy. And apparent in that order. Freshly opened tin from 8/14/18 and an XL 307 Peterson system pipe (clean). Good Burley strength and flavor, a touch of Virginia sweetness and the spicy tang of Perique artf... Read More
ully blended. Pretty good nicotine hit about half way down. A nice dry smoke with some muscle. Is at its best sipped in a pretty ordinary size bowl. Could bite if pushed. My usual freshly opened tin approach to trying it out. Very likable blend and defies comparison to other Burley blends I’ve tried. I’ll probably update my review as I progress through the tin but for a fresh start up, I like it. Good nose tingle too. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz 2oz
While smoking this tobacco I concluded that though I do really enjoy a straight Burly, a Burly headliner with condiment amounts of Perique and Virginia, just doesn't work that well for me. I would rather smoke a really good Burly, or a really good Va... Read More

A Go-To with kick
January 08, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz 2oz
Great kick from a healthy dose of perique introduces this great blend. Right after the perique, the great burley flavor starts to take over. If you like perique and burley, this is your blend!
Very lively and pleasant

Tin note was heavy with chocolate, nuts, and raisins. The smoke is quite nice, with hints of chocolate and nuts, but mostly noticeable is the peppery notes of the perique. Probably not an all day smoke, but definitely an everyday smoke.
not bad. This is not bad. hmm...

The smell of freshly baked bread, hay, weak cocoa hint. Burley and Virginia make up the body, Perique decorates them. The taste is consistent to the bottom of the chamber till the end. From my smoking experience I remembered the taste of Sutliff's Mi... Read More
xture 79. The taste of the body is very similar, but Old Joe Krantz felt it was more spicy than 79, as Virginia and Perique are blended. This tobacco may not have a complicated flavor, but it is therefore consistent. That means that it is suitable for all day smoke. simple. Read Less

Very well constructed tobacco but just not what this Latakia lover gravitates towards.

The Virginia leaf is really good, but can develop harsh spots if you smoke fast.

It's got body, it has flavors, and it'll definitely leave an impression. I pull this out every so often when I want something different.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
My number 1 burley blend. Love the spice the perique gives this blend. Not for the fait of heart it is a little strong. If you don't like perique stay away.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
I just might not have the testicular fortitude to handle a blend as intense as old joe krantz. as far as burleys are concerned, its like old joe drove a bulldozer through carter hall and then went on a rampage and beat the crap out of everybody.

This tobacco tastes good. I really can't say anything bad about it. But it just doesn't hold my interest. I start feeling a little bored by the end of the bowl. But really, you should give it a try.

I've come to the conclusion that there are certain tobaccos that many pipers enjoy, they get great reviews, and are popular choices. Sometimes, those popular choices aren't always the best for our personal tastes. Of course, there are many popular to... Read More
baccos that I indulge in regularly such as Dunhill and SG. The low rating of this tobacco is likely due to the style I gravitate towards, and not so much a poor quality of Old Joe Krantz. I wanted to appreciate it, and tried several methods on separate occasions. My mouth felt as though I had gargled with sawdust. The flavour reminded me of 2nd hand cigarette smoke. Please don't be put off by this review. Many others appear to fancy it, so go ahead and give it a try. Read Less

Outstanding backwoods mixture.
If you like Cuban Partagas / Ramon Allones, this is your blend during pipe smoking.
Very rustic, although you should be able to catch the "peerless" natural flavour and aroma.

Just bought a large amount of this in bulk after reading all the reviews and being a big fan of Billy Budd. I'm hoping that I got some of a mis-blended lot as this stuff is pretty rank as it is.

This has got to be the best Burley, Virginia and Perique blend I've ever tried that isn't a flake. Smooth and satisfying,deep dark fruit and chocolate covered raisn flavour.
Get some and store it up in mason jars. This is an amazing blend.
