Punch - Knuckle Buster Maduro Gordo
My first Cigar…
… and I really like it!! Certainly going to be buying a lot more. Being that this is my first, there is no comparison however I am extremely satisfied with this buy. I only wish it came with a price cut for volume like pipe tobacco. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bro!
This is horrible, I thought someone stuck an handful of weeds in my pipe that started to decay. This was just awful. Even if I don’t like a tobacco I can usually finish the pipe. This was wrong! I couldn’t clean out my pipe fast enough. It smells awful also!

16 years ago…
About 16 years ago I bought this for my very first pipe. I am very partial to this model and really like it. As far as cobs go this is bare bones and durable. Anyone new to Cobs, this is the best place to start.

Unsure smoking, sold for chewing.
Smoked this once so far and it didn’t have to licorice- Aniseed flavor I’d hope for. I still need to try again for a better opinion. However, this is really good for chewing tobacco. The taste is great and will make your mouth water.

My First mate.
When I am not in the mood for my favorite (Captain) Pirate cake (75% Latakia), this is definitely my second in command. A milder blend for those that like stronger tobaccos. Not a Latakia forward blend Like the before mentioned. This is more like the hard working first mate that the captain can always count on and has been rewarded with an extra ration of rum for the day’s efforts.

Cornell & Diehl - Pirate Kake 2oz
Shocker!
I’ve been smoking a pipe for 12 years or so. But I have only recently gone from a 1-2 times a year to weekly. I’m also the type of guy that can buy one type and smoke that forever. I decided I should branch out and explore the top 30 blends. Based on the smell of the tobacco itself (which I like) I was not sure I would like the taste. I was pleasantly shocked to find that this is a big winner for me. Those around me that don’t smoke are definitely not fans. While I’m not likely to smoke it daily I would definitely smoke it once a week or bi-weekly and certainly not an early morning smoke. Next time I buy more I’m definitely getting a pound!

This one is worth trying
I like this one, when I open the can I immediately notice the smell is very different from anything that I have ever smelled before. It almost reminds me of a high quality mustard. Which is fairly mild. The smell while smoking of course is very different. I really think this one is a keeper.

If you like to have a variety of aromatics. This one should be on your list. Its not the best thing ever but it is something I like to enjoy regularly. In my opinion 3 stars is a pretty good rating and thats where I rate most things I like. I save 4 and up for things that are a must have and something that is very special. I doubt you will regret getting this one

This is a match in my opinion
If you like Cult Blood Red Moon I would highly recommend this. I think this is an exact match and probably even better. It is defiantly more affordable to buy in bulk. I am not disappointed.

Interesting cut, best aromatic
I really like the cut of this tobacco, Its chopped sort of chopped ribbon. I would like to see more tobacco blends with this cut. I really like the flavor and highly recommend it. I personally would like the Maple to be a bit stronger. But its a really good mix for the average consumer. I always buy 4 oz when I try a new tobacco, I quickly bought 16 oz shortly after!
