John Cotton's: Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-735-0007

John Cotton's was a distinctive brand of pipe tobacco celebrated by enthusiasts the world over until production stopped sometime in the 1980s. Happily, Russ Ouellette and the folks at Standard Tobacco of Pennsylvania revived the brand, which now offers several blends.

Double Pressed Kentucky is a mixture of Dark-Fired Kentucky and darker Virginia tobaccos blended and pressed into a flake, then sliced and broken before being pressed again to offer a mature, easy-to-enjoy crumble cake.

A Surprise
February 06, 2024
By: Chet
Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
The Double-Pressed is my first experience with a crumble cake, and subsequently, my temptation is to try other John Cotton crumble cakes. A crumble cake is far easier to rub than a flake. If anything, the result fits so naturally in the bowl, it makes me wonder why there aren't more crumble cake tobaccos around (but maybe there are?). Apart from the ease of preparation, the cumble cake makes for a long and a relaxing smoke. Highly recommended!...Read More

good to go.

Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
Tin note of barbeque and pungent sweet. Tobacco is a dark brown 1/2-inch-thick crumble cake plug. Moisture content is ok, breaks apart and rubs out with a little effort. Burns slow with more than the average number of relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of smoky oak, sugar, toasted bread, leather, dry earth, floral, mildly fermented, spices, mildly sweet grass, a sweet nutty background note, and a peppery retro. Kentucky is leading with Virginia supporting. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Wasn't sure at first...
April 23, 2022

Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
Bought this because of the dark fired Kentucky. Love me some dark fired Kentucky. Well this was a long struggle of revisiting and frowns till I figured it out. Once I let this dry out till almost bones in the desert dry it awoke. It might have just been a me thing, but still. If your looking for a good blend maybe to change things up from your normal rotation give this a shot and some time if it doesn't hit at first....Read More

Smooth tobacco that rewards a slow smoke with nuanced flavors. It's a great tobacco for a rainy afternoon when you're not in a hurry. Love this tobacco and look forward to my next bowl!

Not what I was expecting

Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
With a name like Kentucky I was expecting this blend to be heavy on the dfk what I actually found was a pleasant virginia forward blend with dfk as a condiment tobacco, definitely worth trying a tin

A perfect way to end your day
September 27, 2021
By: Ian H.
Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
Easily one of my favorite tobaccos. Very slow burning. The pipe gets pretty warm but the smoke stays cool and soothing. Readily avaliable, I've never been unable to buy it. My one grip is it doesn't come in a larger tin. Due to the small amount and the price when compared to other blends, I dont smoke it everyday, but it is absolutely one I always keep in stock....Read More

A Smooth DFK Standout Raised From The Dead
February 14, 2021
By: Puffin’ Pied Piper
Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
I would deem this crumble cake not great or exceptional, but still solidly good. While it seems a bit flat or uninspiring compared to the very well-rounded dark-fired Kentucky blends I love (Peterson’s Irish Flake, Mac Baren’s Old Dark Fired, Rattray’s Stirling Flake, and Gawith’s 1792 Flake), I am glad Mr. John Cotton went the way of the Biblical Lazarus. Now pipesters can enjoy a lighter, milder, dark fired Kentucky, free of the rough edges one often finds in those more robust DFK blends, namely Irish Flake (still my favorite DFK). I’ll raise my pipe for a second in cheers to those “mild DFK pipesters”, in celebration that Russ Ouellette and Standard Tobacco of Pennsylvania resurrected this blend from decades of discontinuation for enjoyment today. 4.5 stars....Read More

A Porterhouse in your Pipe
January 23, 2021
By: CR
Product: John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky 1.75oz
I received a tin of this two years ago as a Christmas present, so its cost has no bearing on my opinion of the smoke. It’s not just as good as a good cigar, it’s even better - this stuff will have you rethinking your own concepts of a flavor profile. Despite that hefty B&M shelf price (can you believe people actually pay this price for HH Acadian Perique at stores?) and the admittedly small-looking cake size, the depth and intensity of flavor is worth every single penny. That Christmas tin only lasted me a week, I couldn’t stop reaching for it. Believe me, the next one I get is coming out of my own pocket, and it will not be the last. Glad to see it here! Even if it somehow feels like extortion. (Of course, Stokkebye was not to be outdone by the likes of you there, SGT. But these John Cotton tins are all delicious, and Smoking Pipes has them at rock bottom prices.)...Read More
