Cornell & Diehl: Purple Cow 2oz Pipe Tobacco

This is a very unique blend not a lat bomb very satisfying

I don't recall what prompted me to try Purple Cow, but I'm glad I did. I'm a huge fan of Latakia. With the addition of the Maduro cigar leaf, this is a superb smoke any time of the day! Hard to beat with with a cup of coffee!

This hits all the notes I want in a great tobacco. 1. Flavor. 2. Fragrance. 3. Smokability, which includes coolness, stays lit,

I'm not a cigar guy, but enjoy a good English, so I thought Latakia and cigar should be worth a try for something different. The Tin art is great. Note pretty good too. Nice smokey latakia start, with occasional dark fruit Virgina, and slight nutty burley. Since I'm not experienced with cigars I can't really say for sure if I'm detecting it or not. A couple negatives are that it smokes very fast; almost over before you know it. I also got annoyed as there seems to be a lot of smaller bits of tobacco that occasionally make their way into my mouth. Despite those two knocks, it's a decent blend that's worth a try, but is not going to end up on my regular purchase list....Read More

Pack this with a medium light packing and smoke a little slower and the flavors really come out great. I smoke this daily on my work breaks and I get good nicotine satisfaction. It has a really nice deep sweetness and you can really pick up the Maduro leaf. I buy a lot of this.

Pretty mellow and satisfying smoke. Smooth enough you could smoke it any time of day. For those who also smoke cigars: the addition of cigar leaf is nice, not overpowering, just enough to taste and smell. I don't usually like smoking cigar blends in my pipe but this one is good.

I didn't like this one enough to pay the tin premium more than once. It wasn't bad, but there are much better options for this kind of blend available in bulk.

A nice smokey, earthy and robust blend. There is no perique in it despite it being listed on this site. Its very similar to billy bud but with a less dominant latakia presence.

I don't typically smoke cigar leaf blends, but I wanted to try one out. I find this to be a nice and mellow flavorful experience. The bitterness of the burleys play quite well with the smokiness of the cigar leaf and peppery sweetness of the perique.

Delicious smoke. Very full bodied and smokey. Cigar leaf is perfect.
