One of my favorites, it will kick your ass

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz 2oz
Nothing like a big bowl of OJK Original after a long day at work. It just hits the spot as a strong, nighttime smoke with the power and the spice. This is an easy blend to review - do you like C&D’s dark burley and do you like perique? If yes and yes, then you’ll love this. Otherwise stick to the Golden Sliced! Does get harsh and bitey if you push it. Redburn and Pegasus are some lighter options which I recommend if you don’t like perique. I have yet to try GLP Barbary Coast or Haunted Bookshop....Read More
Surprising!!

How have I not smoked this before/.! Loaded a bowl from a 4oz jar of bulk I bough when it was on sale. WOW! This is a fantastic blend. Rich earthy burly with some spice from the perique and a sweet note from the Virginia. It all works REALLY well. I did not expect much from this as I expected a boring codger blend. Well, maybe I am a codger and didn't know it. I really really like this stuff and will be ordering another pound to put away....Read More
American Burley at Its Best
August 14, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz is a fantastic American Burley blend—bold, earthy, spicy, and deeply satisfying.

The Burley provides the heart of the experience with plenty of nuttiness, earth, cocoa, and that dry, slightly rugged character I enjoy in a traditional American mixture. The Virgin
ia adds a touch of natural sweetness, while the Perique brings pepper, dark fruit, and enough spice to keep the blend lively throughout the bowl.

What I appreciate most is that Old Joe Krantz does not try to be delicate. It has real presence. The flavors are robust and tobacco-forward, but they remain balanced rather than chaotic. Smoked slowly, the nuttiness deepens, the spice becomes more integrated, and the blend develops a rich, almost old-fashioned character that feels wonderfully honest.

This is the kind of tobacco that reminds me why I enjoy Burley so much. It is strong enough to satisfy, complex enough to stay interesting, and distinctive enough to earn a permanent place in the rotation.

A fantastic American Burley blend.

Leather and dirt.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Bulk
Wow. It’s Burley, alright, but dark, earthy, and almost leathery. Maybe even a little rubbery. I’m getting straight-up soil from this tobacco. Unlike a lot of Burley blends, there isn’t much sweetness or nuttiness here. Instead, it’s leather and earth from the start.

There’s also a peppery qu
ality on the retrohale that I’m assuming is the Perique making itself known. But the dominant flavor is unmistakably leather. I taste leather. A lot of leather.

This is probably going to be a very pleasant tobacco for someone whose palate is better suited to this sort of thing. For me, though, it’s a little rough. Not offensive, exactly, it just has some serious attitude. This is a bold one.
