Burley Bliss
November 16, 2017
By:

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
ey is the main flavor. Flavor-wise, the Virginia is like a condiment in Pegasus, adding just a little hint of natural sweetness (not too much). Speaking of sweetness, the Black Cav. in Pegasus is unsweetened, so it doesn't stifle or overwhelm the other flavors, nor make it too sweet, and it's used sparingly—just a few flecks here and there. I get an ever-so-slight taste of honey and cocoa, even vanilla. These flavors are so faint that this could simply be the [wonderful] interplay between the tobaccos. Pegasus won't bite unless pushed real hard, which is a nice trait in any Burley blend. Medium on the nicotine front. Bob was a genius blender, and I'm so glad that C&D carries on his legacy by continuing to make Pegasus. I hope they keep it up! Read Less

Great nutty / woody burley flavor backed by virginia sweetness and a smattering of plain black cavendish to smooth it over. A marvelous all natural blend with some power.

bonated tingle on the retro - I can’t seem to put this stuff down. Tasty doesn’t even scratch the surface. I’m puffing on a bowl right now in my Country Gentleman, and nothing could wipe the grin off my face for the next half-hour. No, it’s not very complex, but it does not need to be - everything is in perfect proportion. Yes, it can be a bit rough, but it’s raw and I love it. This is the reason Burley is still the king of pipe tobacco to my palate. And unlike its namesake, this one might actually fly you to the heavens. Read Less

hat classic C&D strong bitter earthy walnut note (young white burley?) that really dominates so many of their burley blends is finally tamed thank God. I find the bitter note really offputting if too strong. This wasn't an issue for Pegasus. The Cavendish, Virginia and topping seem to add enough sweetness to balance Pegasus perfectly. The Virginia also adds a notes of grass and hay. The cavendish smooths out the burleys even more, filling in all gaps with a little dark sugar. Good candidate for an all day smoke. Pace yourself and it won't bite. Read Less

My beef here is that I think the Cavandish is overpowering the burley's nutty flavor that I love so much. Pegasus has a "chewy mouth feel", Brie with ammonia, & seemed a bit harsh and bitey.

Sweet and Nutty
December 30, 2019

he more sharp but sweet hay-like note of Virginia. This ying/yang thing on a VA/BUR mix in which one picks up where the other falls down, translates to a solid, consistent depth of flavor, body and mechanics.
There’s a good dose of sweetness; a smooth, malty, toasted and oat-like nuttiness from the 3 burleys which play all along the spectrum from light to dark burley flavors. Intermittently, there’s a sharpness (not roughness) that breaks the monotony. The Virginias are balanced in citrusy sweetness/tartness and the temperate, earthy hay-like note of the two Virginia leaf is idyllic and perfectly balanced with the woody burleys. The virginia remain in the background at first, and progressively get stronger until the end, at which time they step forward to mitigate the ashiness often associated with Burley. The Cavendish helps to tone down any high notes between the two contrasting leaf types and lends a smooth semi sweet quality to an already tranquil blend. Good finish... not the best I've experienced, but it's certainly one of the better ones. The retro reminds you that this mixture is moderate in strength and full in body – a quality C&D is known for and I love it. The nicotine is squarely in the middle; it will satisfy most by the end of the session and perhaps more by mid bowl. Read Less

to offer to the blend. I’m a fan of good American burley blends, and savor the nuttiness and caramel/cocoa notes inherent in them, but Pegasus unfortunately lacks those burley flavors. It harkens to Carter Hall or Prince Albert, so fans of those OTC blends should also be fans of Pegasus. I’ll stick with my Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. I even prefer Half and Half over this I believe. Read Less

You’ll Be Borne Aloft...On Wings Of Burley!
October 27, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
s typical of most burley blends with little or no topping: just that natural, somewhat rough barnhouse scent. The flavor begins right upon the char light and is sustained throughout the bowl: pure burley nuttiness with a bit of sweetness from the Virginias, and mellowed by the Black Cavendish. It’s not as strong, nutty, or nicotine-rich as Runowski’s Old Joe Krantz, but it’s a notch milder and thus for many, easier to puff. You just might feel like you’re flying, coasting through the air, like the mythological centaur that gives the blend its name. The late Bob Runowski effected this by employing several weapons in his blending arsenal: three burleys, two Virginias and then of course, a touch of Black Cavendish. And it’s evident on the tongue, nostrils, and in the worthwhile retrohale. 4.5 stars. Read Less

the woody sweetness and the dryness of the smoke. I can’t stand getting a mouthful of backwash from too moist tobacco. I also like the clean aftertaste when I’m done with a bowl. Many aromatics leave a cloying bleech after smoking. Even latakia will leave an aftertaste with some of the stronger English/Balkan blends. Not Pegasus. This is definitely worth a try. Read Less

Nostalgia in a Pipe.
July 23, 2019
By:

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
nd falls right in line with those venerable old classic American O.T.C. tobaccos. The only difference is I think this stuff is a little smoother and it's probably the addition of the black cavendish. When I started smoking a pipe in my teens, I smoked what my dad smoked...I think a lot of us older pipe smokers started that way, so I'm no stranger to burly based tobaccos. This blend is not one of my all day smokes but it is a nice change of pace when I'm feeling a little nostalgic, and I can say with all honesty, that this is a damn good one. It burns clean and consistent from start to finish and never really overpowers the smoker. While it can be a little harsh at times, if you are not careful, it has a quality that only an old fashion pipe tobacco can give...it is satisfying like a good cigar and goes well with a nice strong cup of evening coffee. I will definitely keep this on hand right next to my Match Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. Read Less
