Burley Bliss
November 16, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
A quintessential Burley blend; simple, smooth, and satisfying. Leaves the room smelling great too. This is essentially what I wish Carter Hall was more like; smoother and doesn't fall flat halfway through the bowl. The Burley is the main flavor. The ... Read More
Virginia is a condiment in Pegasus, not a major component, and adds just a little hint of natural sweetness (not much). This Black Cav. is unsweetened, so it doesn't stifle the natural flavor, and it's used very sparingly; just a few tiny flecks here and there. I get an occasional, ever-so-slight taste of a honey-vanilla sweetness--so faint that it could simply be the quality of the Burley. No bite, which is welcome in any Burley blend. Mild 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.

I am a fan of C&D blends, except for their aromatics or for that matter most any aromatic. My favorite C&D blend is Red Odessa but when you need a change of pace, Pegasus Is very good. This is good burley based smoke. It tastes a lot like Big... Read More

I am liking this immensely. Nice and tangy. I've heard it likened to Haunted Bookshop (which I don't love) without the perique. I do like perique, however. At any rate, this is very tasty stuff.
Calm taste and smoke

Burley and Black Cavendish constitute the main taste blend. Virginia is mixed as a topping. As written in many reviews, this blend is suitable for all day smoke. Silky and smooth taste. Occasionally there are hints like cocoa and cafe au lait. I reco... Read More

Mild and silky smooth, walnuts with just a hint of bitter, nicely balanced by he sweetness of the Virginias. I am a Balkan and VaPer guy, but this is a very nice alternative.
A Great Burley Blend

Everything you might expect from a good Burley blend. I recommend this to every newbies and experienced pipers alike. Ordering some more for sure.
Excellent!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
My new all day smoke. Very smooth, rich, creamy, just a bit of a nicotine hit. Pairs well with coffee and tea in the morning, but makes a perfect afternoon smoke as well. Easily my new favorite; I'll be ordering a whole lot more
Sweet and Nutty
December 30, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
Oh my… how do I begin? First, I love a good Virginia-Burley mix; the dry acridity of burley is offset by the sugars of Virginia leaf. Conversely, the burley provides body, mouth feel and that woody, walnut-like tannin that corresponds so well with t... Read More
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
Marvelous Find

I bought my usual baccy, of Briar Fox and Oak Alley and thought I would try this for a change. Since then I haven't smoked any of my usual. I keep reaching for this one. It burns well and easily. Doesn't bite and is a very satisfying smoke. This has ... Read More

Probably wont ever go back. Pegasus is a nutty, robust, satisfying smoke.

Decent tobacco, I was in the mood for something more of a traditional tobacco like smoke and thought I would give this a try. Its a nice cut, burns well, stays lit and doesn't give tongue bite. It has a good flavour and satisfies. Hence, well behaved... Read More

Cool, tasty, and satisfying

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
With Pegasus, the Burley is front and center in the familiar Runowski way. Thesere’s a very present sweetness of the Virginias that dance nicely on the stage of the cool round condimental Cavendish. It’s a smooth, relaxing, and satisfying smoke with ... Read More

Best Burley Blend Yet
April 25, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
Most enjoyable! What interested me was the sweetness of the blend, which makes a nice alternative to my Perique/Burley taste. Easy to light and smoke right to the bottom of the bowl. No bite and 100% good tobacco; no garden mulch to throw away her... Read More
e. Medium strength, best for a medium or large pipe. Initial flavor is beer and honey, which drifts toward popcorn as the bowl ends. Excellent warm day smoke with a pale beer. Highly recommend! Read Less
Not a huge burley fan but...

This is pretty tasty. The burley and Virginia play well together. If you want a mellow, slightly sweet burley blend or you want to try a burley blend for the first time, Pegasus is where it's at.
Top 5 Burley
November 11, 2019

I've smoked just about every Burley, and this is one of the very best. The unsweetened black cavendish takes this to the next level. Smooth Burley body with a complimentary sweetness from the cavendish. It's right up there with Uhle 00 and the HU and... Read More
Watch City Burleys in my opinion. If you don't like this one you can pass on Burley. Read Less
Good blend
August 23, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
This is a pleasant blend to smoke. To me it tastes a lot like a cigarette, but not quite exactly like it. Being a 25+ year/pack-a-day+ smoker making the switch, I find this blend satisfying. It really hits the spot when I get that craving for a cigar... Read More
ette. For me this is a good thing, as it makes switching a little easier. Also, I have to comment on the volume of tobacco. You get A LOT of tobacco for your money with this one. Of the 9 blends I have so far, this is the first one I have found that I had to stuff the tobacco into a 750ml wide mouth Mason jar. Just 4 oz and my jar is packed to the top. Read Less

Nostalgia in a Pipe.
July 23, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus Bulk
First let me say that this review is a copy of my review on another site.....The aroma of this blend takes me back to my childhood. My grandfather smoked Grainger, my dad smoked Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. I had an uncle that smoked Bond Street. This ble... Read More
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

Expected a Bit More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus 2oz
Pegasus has a faint room note. It’s dry and burns well, quickly to ash, with no dottle. However, there’s not a lot of flavor to the blend, though the Virginia is somewhat evident. The black cavendish is very much in background and really has nothing ... Read More
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

Truth In Advertizing and Hype
November 18, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus 2oz
It's unexpected and heartening when a tobacco lives up to its description and when the hype proves true. This tobacco really is tasty but uncomplicated, which is good in this case. It's everything I wished modern renditions of Prince Albert, Carter H... Read More
all, Edgeworth, and a swath of "gourmet" burley-heavy tobaccos would be. An added plus is that this blend doesn't deliver what I call the "burley choke hold" that burleys so often can. This tobacco will be my mainstay from here on out, so it's fortunate that it comes in bulk as well as in tins. Read Less

dark, earthy and that's just about it, lacks complexity and depth, the nuttiness and sweetness are too mild for my taste. it's not a bad smoke, it's just not that good either.
