Questions About Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut PS41

[edger]

Hi guys and gals! How would this compare with Sutliff RR(Edgeworth Match). I quite like the match but I have to dry the hell out of it to reduce the cocoa casing so I can taste the burley. The PS has some Virginia and that might sweeten the burley enough for me. Any opinions or observations would be appreciated. Thanks.

No comparison. RR has a rough cut where CC is more uniform cubes. RR has the chocolate notes and CC has more of a honey flavor. I get a sense of a very high Virginia content versus the burley in CC as well.

Thanks! I'm going to try some as I've gravitated towards virginias in the last few decades. Edgeworth Sliced was my favorite burley in the past and the cocoa took a back seat to the excellent burley.

Funny you should mention both in the same thread. They're my default blends when I don't want to think too much about what I want to smoke.?

Great minds(palates) think(taste) alike! Burleys are my morning choice when the coffee is brewing.

You would probably enjoy Angler's Dream as well.

While I understand that cavendish is a process as well as a sweet tobacco a la black cavendish( Captain Black), I haven't gone near it since the '80s. Not for me.
TR lists cavendish as a component of Angler's Dream. I would value your opinion, and where this blend falls between the other two.
Thanks Chasing.

Can’t comment on the blends specifically but TR states it has “unflavored” black cavendish. This usually adds a smoothness and creaminess to a blend with the Captain Black type sweetness. Blends like Dunhill/Peterson 965 include this and it’s a great component that often adds body to a smoke.

Not all Cavendish is sweetened. Unsweetened Cavendish is used in many blends as an enhancer for the body of smoke, especially in some English blends. Angler's Dream has a slight cinnamon note, but is no more aromatic than any of the codger burlys. Big fan myself.

What he said.

YMMV, but I have to dry CC quite a bit for good results.

 

[krizzose]

I'll also add that CC is definitely sweet. There isn't as heavy a topping as RR, but it's there with plenty of sweetness.

 

[edger]

Received my poundage of Stokkebye Cube Cut(PS41) and it is delightful! Chasing mentioned the topping as a honey flavor. I agree entirely. Taste is clean and natural and is a great morning smoke with black coffee.
Thank you all for the observations and help.

Cube Cut and coffee were made for each other. So enjoyable the way they enhance each other. A case where the word synergy actually applies.

. . .so I can taste the burley. The PS has some Virginia and that might sweeten the burley enough . . .

Dear Edger,
I'm over the moon on the taste of burley--started trying to learn to sip and not puff about 6 months ago, and started switching from heavy Latakia blends about 3 months back to burleys. Now I love 'em both BUT GRAVITATE TO BURLEY all day and night!! You got good taste, Buddy!
kind regards

Thanks. You should try PS41 if you haven't.

@edger I enjoyed the PS41 cube cut burley I got from @marconi in my clay pipes.

This post should say “ without the Captain Black type sweetness”.
