Today I received a mail with the stock of the beast and one minute later I go to SP page and the tobacco is sold out... what a joke.....
The Sleepy Beast
March 15, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
Wake up earlier, next time. This will age well, as the batch I have from 2016 has mellowed out a bit. 2,500 cans is better than the 777 they put out last time. I only bought 3, so others had a chance too. Should have bought 10 because y'all still com... Read More

Excellent!
March 18, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
Very very good tobacco. Rich, full bodied, and rummy! Natural sweetness, with a little spice. It’s a bold blend, but not over powering.
Delicious!
I really wish I had gotten more that 1 tin.

A Bittersweet Love
March 16, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
I love this tobacco, and love the Crowley theme as well. Notes of leathery cigar, rum, and 'earthy' spices (clove(?)) are rounded out by an ever-so-slight sweetness. While it's not anywhere near as overwhelming or as strong as its description would h... Read More
ave you believe, it is still quite powerful in flavor and strength. The Beast's flavor hangs with the best of English powerhouses like SG or GH, and that's no exaggeration. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever get to smoke it on the regular, and it's a shame. Sold out in 40 minutes flat! Whining aside, C&D should absolutely, most DEFINITELY focus on making more of this and others like it. If they did, I'd surely buy much, much more C&D! This stuff isn't just popular like a new iPhone---simply because it's scarce---but because it's just really great tobacco. C&D would easily be able to contend with the likes of the English tobacco companies with more of this and a few other blends of this caliber, and in doing so, make life much happier for us American pipe smokers. Five Stars; not a rating I give out often! Read Less

Still a great Perique forward blend, strong rum aroma & note.
Small Batch Beauty
May 09, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
This is a delightful blend. The tin note is unmistakably of rum with a strong note of Perique. Opening the tin finds small, generally square pieces of a black or dark brown tobacco. The tobacco is pretty damp and man need some drying time for some, b... Read More
ut you can also put it right into your pipe and light it up, albeit using a few more matches than you usually would. The taste is strong, consistent, and very much like a spicy cigar with a rum chaser. When you have a chance to pick up a tin, go for it and you will not be disappointed. Read Less
Dumb Name, Good Tobacco
June 08, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
The premise and name of the product is kinda dumb, but this is a darn good vehicle for Perique. The tin notes are rich dried fruit and leather and makes your mouth water just smelling it. The flavors of fruit and rum are present on the light but deve... Read More
lop into mere hints against the peppery leather and earthy flavors of the Perique. This one was definitely in my wheel house even though I normally shy away from heavily cased tobacco. If you attacked the tobacco because you couldn’t get it, you’re just being ridiculous. There are a lot of tobacco I want to try that I can’t get my hands on. I don’t give them negative ratings because they are difficult to get. Grow up. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
C&D should review their marketing strategy. Naming this tobacco "The Beast", and the alignment of the product with Aleister Crowley; why risk losing a good portion of your audience? I won't be buying any of their crap - far too many p... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
I really liked the flavor of this blend from first puff to bottom of the bowl. I agree with other reviews that state it's not as strong as described. I would call it more of a gentle giant. He definitely got my attention but was not able to put me do... Read More
wn for the 10 count. To be fair to C&D, this is part of their small batch series and small batch means just that SMALL BATCH! Read Less

Very Potent
March 16, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
They didnt lie when they said it has 60% perique. Very spicy flavor. If you havent tried this, it is like eating tablespoons of black pepper. It is not bad at all just very spicy.
Not A Powerhouse!
May 05, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
I found The Beast to be a likeable enough blend, with all of the fruity, earthy rum infused flavor in both the tin aroma and in the early smoking of a bowl, as advertised. What I did not find was the heady, nicotine laden strength that was claimed i... Read More
n it's review by Shane Ireland. The first half of a bowl tastes rich, slightly sweet from the rum and Cavendish, and full of flavor, and very true to the tin aroma (which isn't always true with aromatic blends). But the second half of the bowl looses much of that character turning a bit bitter, definitely stronger, but not in a good way. I found myself choking a bit, with an annoying tickle in the back of my throat. I stuck with it further to see what would happen next, but then realized that I wasn't really enjoying the experience. Also the tobacco is rather wet from the tin which makes smoking that second half of the bowl difficult to keep lit. I tried a looser pack but it continued to be a pain in the ass to smoke that last half to one third of the bottom of the bowl. Because of the casings and rum treatment, the fully rubbed out ribbons are sticky and damp, and even overnight drying with the tin left open did little to reduce it's humidity level, and as Shane pointed out the more you dry it, the more rum you will loose. This is one reason I avoid "Aromatics". Casing and humectants keep the tobacco "fresh", but too wet and I find difficult to smoke all the way to the bottom of each bowl. While I'd call it an Aromatic, it's more of a cross-over. Think of it as a VA/Per with more fruity notes, but not at all your classic sickeningly sweet Cavendish-bomb. I enjoy each first half of each bowl. But for me, that's not enough for me to be passionate about this small batch. Read Less
New favorite
September 24, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
This tobacco quickly became an all time favorite, I like it so much I’ve even attempted to blend my own version as a replacement. It’s certainly powerful with the rum very slightly in the background. Definitely a positive vitamin N count, a little bi... Read More

I snagged a tin immediately as i was looking to try a Perique heavy blend, and i was very, very disappointed.
It tastes awful, yes there is a spiciness to it, and a little sweetness, but overall it just kinda ended up tasting like a fart.
Pepper On A Stick
March 22, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl The Beast 2oz
I knew what I was getting with this blend and I am sure many perique lovers will enjoy this blend. However, not me. It was like smoking a stick coated with pepper that just left a campfire.
