Found my Burley
December 13, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label 8oz
I have smoked Old Joe Krantz regular for some time but had to lay off lately because the nicotine kick has become too much for my aging bones. OJK blue label is a nice tone down with out losing the deep velvety satisfying burley taste.
Really good.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
Being a fan of OJK and HB, I ordered a tin of this to try. 4 days later an empty tin and a burned out cob went into the trash can. nice and rich with just the right amount of sweet. I'll be ordering this one in bulk. Edit: A year in a jar made this e... Read More

A Great VA/Bur!
August 04, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
I’ve been looking for an all day VA/Bur and I seem to have found it. For me, I do really enjoy the original Old Joe Krantz, but it’s a bit too much for a daily smoke. The high percentage of perique makes original OJK over the top in my experience. I ... Read More
bought about four ounces in bulk after reading some reviews of it and I have a deep respect for Jeremy Reeves as a blender, so I gave it a shot.
I have been enjoying this daily for about two weeks now. When I put my nose in the bag, I was a little disappointed at first, as it reminded me of fermented pencil shavings. Now I just love the stuff.
Burley in the forefront and throughout the smoke, the Virginias are included to dull the edges of a straight Burley blend. To my taste, I get a lot of nutty, earthiness in the smoke and a hint of cocoa. This is one of the better Virginia/Burleys out there and certainly is satisfying in the nicotine department. Want something complex with an ever-changing flavor while smoking? Well, you’ll have to look elsewhere for that. If you enjoy Burleys, however, this may be for you. I am looking forward to trying it with a few months age on it, so I’ll have to buy more soon. Highly recommended. Read Less

Burley's best taste even if you smoke every day !!
Juuuust Right

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
It’s like OJK, but not as harsh; it’s like Haunted Bookshop but not as sweet. For me, this is pretty ideal. Reminds me a bit of a less complex, more all-day, version of G.L. Pease’ Penny Farthing (one of my favorites) too.

This may arrive a little dry. If it does, just like any tobacco, hit it with the water mister a few times, put it up for a day, and let it marinate. Tobacco that is too dry and devoid of any moisture isn’t going to taste good. Might as well smoke saw... Read More

Not for rookies

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
This stuff is the real deal. A mature smoker will really appreciate and fall in love. Warning to rookies. If your new to nicotine this may have to wait. Joe packs a pleasant right hook that can leave you a bit light headed.
Love it!

Wow, this is a good blend.

最近喜欢burley,抽起来有种咸咸的味道,好像嗑咸瓜子儿,我通常都是用一个小玉米斗,装上一斗,抽上半个小时,配上杯咖啡,那叫一个香,美!
One of the best burley blends out there!

Mild, nutty and smooth, what’s not to like, if you like burley!

An excellent burley blend that makes my mouth water every time that I smell the bag. This is an excellent blend that is a must try.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label 8oz
What I hoped for as a Burley lover. Freshly opened tin and first bowl vastly exceeded my expectations. Cool smoking, mild, tasty and a little sweet. Opened the package, popped the tin and loaded a Peterson 150 that was handy. It’s perfect for my tast... Read More
e. Several weeks later, after it sat in a tightly closed tin, it’s even better. I think I’m a long term fan of this one. The subtle sweetness takes hold about mid bowl and persists until the end. Strength remains about the same. It’s at its best smoked slowly although no bite was detected. In an average bowl shape and size, it may need one relight. Overall, a good, tasty, easy smoke.

I'm a recent cigar convert. And like a kid in a candy store, I've been trying a little bit of everything. Until I tried this. While I've enjoyed a few blends quite a lot, this one really caught my attention. Now, every time I sit down to pack a bo... Read More
wl, I have a difficult time not reaching for this. I would say, the nose on this does not do it justice. And, you do need to sip on this. The nic hit is for real if you smoke it too fast. Read Less
Very stout tobacco

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
This is a very potent smoke. The high nicotine content is great for quick smokes with smaller bowls. It has strong peppery and robust character. Pairs well with espresso and imperial stouts. I want to compare this to C&Ds regular cube cut burley,... Read More

If you are Burley curious you should grab some of this. IIf you don't like it, then you will know Burley is not for you.

Chasing old habits away. With a name like Old Joe Krantz, it mst be good

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label 2oz
I’ve given up on ever seeing a factory pouch of Prince Albert again. Looks like Middleton, after a successful 115 year run, finally decided to end it. I’ll miss it but things change over time and at 76 years, I’ve come to accept that. I’ve tried the ... Read More
match blends and applaud those efforts but they’re all off the mark enough that they just weren’t what I wanted. So…Old Joe Krantz Blue is gonna be my new PA. It’s excellent taste profile, burning characteristics and all the rest are about right and it comes packaged in a very convenient reusable tin that I can stash in my ever present traveling pipe bag. I’ve reviewed it before and haven’t indulged myself again until recently. I have a renewed respect for it. This blend is a classic example of less being more. It’s a simple blend of fairly common tobaccos that are presented in an easy to handle form. It doesn’t ghost my pipes or get bad remarks from those standing nearby. It’s readily available by one of Americas best blenders and reasonably priced. I can find nothing but good to say about it. Having ended my romance with PA it looks as if this will be the next up as a reliably excellent go to for the future. There are four blends in the series and they’re all good but Blue is my personal first choice. With a name like Old Joe Krantz, it’s gotta be good. Read Less

Really enjoy C&D tobaccos but this one wasn’t for me. Made for an okay cigarette but I wouldn’t put it any of my pipes again.

o me. In the bag it smells like cigarettes it’s extremely harsh has lots of tongue bite taste like cigarettes. To all the people who love the stuff more power to you. A well known straight Burley is one of my top three blends but this stuff is just terrible to me. Read Less

No es para mí
April 30, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
El burley granulado junto con el Virginia aquí dio como resultado una mezcla picante y ácida (esto tiene Perique) y, por el corte, calienta mucho la cazoleta. No perderé más el tiempo con el Sr. Krantz.
Boring at best

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label 2oz
There's not much going on here. The Virginias are too spicy/sharp, and the Burleys are providing shockingly little body or balance.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Blue Label Bulk
Good combination of burley and virginia. I got my mail couple days ago together with the Star of the East. This gives good aroma of non-flavored tobacco and rounded smell. Tastes nutty and bit of natural sweet. Though once I’ve rolled into a cig, LOL... Read More
