C&D's Pegasus is yet another from the master of classic American Burley blends, Bob Runowski. Three Burley tobaccos, two Virginias, and a touch of unsweetened Black Cavendish form a classic American blend, hearkening back to the days when Burley was king in American pipe tobacco.

There’s a website called Tobacco Reviews and if you track down Pegasus, Runowski talks at length about this blend…his creation. He goes so far as to suggest a deep narrow bowl as the ideal for smoking it. I’d tried it in the past with mixed feelings but after hearing what he had to say, I started all over. I grabbed a favorite Savinelli Spring 614 and loaded up using conventional packing technique and lit up…a charring light that I let die before a light swirling tamp and relight. I spent over an hour smoking it to the bottom and relit several times as I didn’t feel like hurrying through this delicious Burley blend. I concluded that I’d hit on the right combination and enjoyed several relights, each tastier than the last. I’ve been trying to find something that beat some old favorites like PA of which there are no substitutes…I’ve been a pipe smoker for over 50 years and have smoked more different blends than I can recall but always lean towards Burleys as I enjoy the depth of flavor and ease of smoking them…if you do it right, they don’t bite thus, Take your time…Pegasus showcases Runowskis knowledge of building a good blend and how to smoke it for best effect. A rich flavorful taste with depth and jus the right strength to satisfy. At 78 I suppose I’m a true codger but good Burley blends are good smoking and worth your time so Take your time and enjoy this one....Read More
Modern Codger Blend

Tastes/smells great, you can freight train it if you like or take your time with it. It's my go to smoke and I never get bored with it. I think has more depth/nuanced flavor to it than Haunted Bookshop
Very good

Pegasus is a very good burley blend. If blends like Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz are too strong and pungent for you, Pegasus is a great way to get what is appealing about burley without the downsides of the aforementioned blends. Very pleasant blend that scratches the burley itch perfectly!...Read More
Great "Codger" Blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus 2oz
Very smooth, very balanced, but still definitely Burley. Good counter to the English I smoke a lot. I can see this as an end-of-the-day smoke. Could easily be and all day blend. Haven't tested on my wife yet, but if she likes it, it's a winner.

Pegasus
Smoking Pipes rated : 4.3

Pegasus is a well respected Burley blend that is comprised of Virginia, Burley and black Cavendish tobaccos.

Opening the bag I catch the aroma of molasses tea leaves touch of vinegar. There’s tan , brown and kin
d of reddish ribbon throughout it with little black chunks of leaf.

Sampled in a Missouri pride.

This is a tobacco that I’ve had before and that I like. This is just kind of like having an old friend over that you don’t see but a couple times a year but once you sit down with a beer, you picked the conversation up exactly where you left it months before.

I don’t always want the spice and burn and all the herbal components of an English blend and when I want a good simple tobacco, Pegasus is one of the ones that I turn to. It’s a beautiful Burley . It’s nutty and bready and the extra sugar and character from the other components ties it together into a nice enjoyable simple blend.

Your grandpa would approve of this blend . It probably fit right into any old man’s rotation because it’s a straightforward and honest tobacco.

My rating : 4

This is the 80th of 101 C&D Bilk blends I am reviewing for this project.

Perfect All Day Burley

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
Pegasus is one of the best codger style burleys on the market. Lots of nutty, woody, earthy burley flavor with a nice lightly sweet undertone from the Virginia's and unsweetened Black Cavendish. If you like Codger blends like Prince Albert or Carter Hall, I highly recommend giving Pegasus a try....Read More
Really great!

This is a wonderful, earthy burley. As someone who is fairly new to burleys, this is very approachable. There is a mild sweetness that is really enjoyable, and you really do get the good "bite" of burley tobacco. I smoked this in a cob, which allowed the leaf to shine through. This tobacco has nutty notes that would make it a wonderful fall smoke. On a cold, rainy day in western NC, this is super enjoyable....Read More
Just OK...

Well, I tried this in one of my pipes that Burley typically shines in. It was just OK. Then I tried it in a slender-bore pipe and not much better. Burley definitely overshadows the others in this blend. But it, itself, isn't an outstanding Burley. Its flavor isn't consistent throughout the bowl. So I give it 3★ today for being a 'T' that is OK, but not likely to become one I would ever stock-up on. I'll most likely just finish it and then close the book on Pegasus. I might suggest others try the new Rivertown Tobacco Works - "Oak & Ember" over Pegasus. If seeking a mild yet tasty all-day "Burley forward" blend to pipe with. You'll save a few buck$, obviously, and I believe you'd get a bit more enjoyment out of it....Read More

It's step up from carter hall, but I like haunted bookshop better, I think.

So this is an amazing blend, you definitely get the nuttiness and woodiness from the Burley, but it smokes softer and smoother than most other blends I've had. This is one of those that you can just sit there and puff away on all day if you wanted.
