"Great!"
March 31, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
Update: Rapidly becoming one of my favorite blends. The key is understanding it! Right now, my mindset is like "It's mildly flavored Latakia with that dash of Perique"... And that's the only way that I can describe this blend - "interesting". ... Read More
Grape Soda English with sewer-like Retro
January 22, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
Bad... bad, bad stuff. It's an English flavored with grape. I got a sewage like note on the retro. Used a cob to try this one... thank goodness as it would've ghosted my briar with that grapy sewer aroma. Man, this one's bad. I don’t get the good... Read More
Vanguard blend for the top of the english aromatics

Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
Oh heavens! Oh glory! I had the intuition this would be cool, and indeed it was. This is completely out of the ordinary and rather uncompromised with traditional aromas, a vanguard blend, and modern art blend if you want. Captain Bob's blend come... Read More
Secret Favorite
October 08, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
This has been a secret favorite of mine for years. When Capt. Bob first started to promote it online he got some flak (pun intended) but I was willing to give it a shot just from the description alone. I have to say that the first couple of bowls lef... Read More

I'm not precisely sure how to describe this, but I like it. Be careful, though this ghosted like nobody's business.
I'm sorry Capt Bob...this is a mess.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
I don't understand how this can have so many different types of tobacco and supposedly TONS of flavorings and yet just tastes like generic burley soaked in cheap artificial grape soda. Seriously...it's a mess. This stuff stinks something fierce. I le... Read More

Tastes like grape. Weird but not unpleasant
I Enjoy It

Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend 8oz
Very unique blend for sure as Nick N. says. Base English with a grape soda (or grape lolipop) top note. Sounds odd but it works for me. I would say it fits in the American English category, like Edward G. Robinson blend, which I also enjoy very much.... Read More

Capt. Bob's: Great change of pace smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend 2oz
I avoid Latakia and aromatics, but in this blend everything works! Think grape soda -- not cloying, and nice for a change.
Totally unique!

Totally unique in the annals of aromatic pipe tobacco! This is one that will disgust the grandiose pipe snob, but will delight most of the rest of us. The Grape Nehi scent is bold and obvious, but does not overpower the taste of the base english blen... Read More

A Completely Happy Surprise
December 29, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
To start with, I am not a Latakia smoker generally. It dominates the flavor of a blend too much for my taste, and often leaves me unable to taste much else all day afterwards. So when I'm in a latakia-friendly mood, it's always something where it m... Read More

One of the best tobaccos I've ever tasted.
How Interesting.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
So I decided to order a blend I used to hear about all the time to start me off on getting back into pipes. I wanted to get something that that was outside the profile of my usual rotation. This hit the mark perfectly. I'm quite surprised with the... Read More

I was given a sample of this a while back by someone who hated it. When I smelled it I didn’t have much hope for it to be honest. After smoking through a few bowls it really started growing on me. I grave some Capt Bob’s every few days. Really has so... Read More

Very Very Burley
March 24, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
This is a relatively strong blend that, to me at least, was overpowered by the burleys right from the start. I can taste a bit of the spice from the latakia, perique, and orientals, but to me the burleys gave it an acrid, sour flavor. If you do not l... Read More
Not for me
October 21, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Captain Bob's Blend Bulk
Something about this just doesn't taste good to me. I would guess it's the casing / topping. Though it doesn't bite, it tends to give a stinging sensation on my tongue.
