C&D Crooner

[voorhees]

I really wanted to like Crooner. It does however trigger my cough reflex quite easily, when no other blend does. Strange thing.

the local shop used to carry an imitation called black magic. It was before C&D was really a thing. But it was based on the Bing recipe and it was great! So I imagine this ten times as good.

+1 for gravity filling with cube cut.

Ok, so not just me. I really liked this many years back when I tried it, but I get insane sinus and throat irritation from even one bowl. So I’ve only tried it a few times and the same result every time.

I always thought it was an allergy to whatever Deertongue is. I have read that many people are allergic to certain strains of burley, though.

I’ve not had an issue with other burley blends, although I’m not trying very burley blend in the market, or anything.

Anybody tried Sillem’s Musketeer?

No deertongue in that one.

 

[BROBS]

No but it’s cube cut burley.

I never pass up an opportunity to recommend Stokkebye Cube Cut. No fireworks, just simple smoking pleasure. Pro tip: get it good and dry

I used to buy it by the five pound bag during the C&D sales. Very good stuff.?

Sorry for off-topic but since burley came up I’m still miffed that PS 312 Toasted Burley is off the market. ?

I love Crooner it is one of the first blends that really struck me as something different and special. The Cube Cut is interesting and unusual, on the dry side and requires no dry time IMO. While the Deer Tounge adds a slight vanilla vibe without being a heavy aromatic. Burns well with occasional relights. Have about 8oz total and plan on getting more once some bulk b3comes available, hopefully C&D keeps up production of this blend after the FDA nonsc3nse.

Crooner is good. I like Gentleman Caller a bit better, but they’re both good. If you like deertongue. Many don’t.

I like Crooner and I know exactly where a jar lives. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm going to fire up a bowl in a little bit.

I would love to try this, but my days of regularly ordering tobacco are behind me, and I've heard this will actually ghost other tobaccos in a box. If anyones willing I'd cover shipping for a few bowls worth. I love 4 noggins mojo so I know I like deer tongue, and I looove C&D burley....

Toasted Burley is still available at P&C. Picked up a 1oz sample recently and had to double check, on TR is does say No Longer In Production. Comes as a nice broken flake and has good flavor

Excellent enjoy! Finished my bag a while back and need to get a refill from the Cellar since it is a great blend.

Crooner is good stuff when you want something different. I have a xob dedicated to it.

I have a cob dedicated to it.

My Crooner pipe for many years now.

 

[trubka2]

I have a 2 oz sample I ordered about a year ago. I'm so revolted by the smell that I still haven't had the courage to try smoking it. Guess deertongue ain't for me!

I finished a bowl a little while ago. It's got a fantastic beard note.
