Casey Jones Hero's Blend

Good smoke without flavorings

Another good budget blend from Casey Jones. Wife enjoys the aroma indoors. Comparable to capt. black, if you ask me.

Pleasant

Smooth and flavorful. Excellent for smoking all day.

Oh my! One my my all-time favorites! A wonderful temperate taste with great comments from everyone nearby! "Oh my!" Delicious taste and scent made the smoke a genuinely delicious experience! The velvety texture was easy on the tongue for a great experience all the way to the end. I didn’t want the bowl to end! The pipe stayed gently warm throughout the smoke - even with a hard pull draw experience! Casey Jones Hero’s Blend is a keeper! I can hardly wait to try the other C/J’s blends…

A good tobacco, it’s a close second to Prince Albert Vanilla, It has a little bit of a soapy aftertaste, it’s not bad , it’s just not as good as Prince Albert vanilla,

A fantastic blend, texture, pouch aroma, and smoke quality unsurpassed!

Smokes great, hint of vanilla. Much much better than I was expecting from a pouch.

I'm a fan of casey Jones tobacco last ride. This is my first smoke of heros blend and it's really nice. Smooth and sweet.

Good all day smoke

fantastic everything. 1st bag ive gotten of casey jones but was very satisfied

this s. awesome smoke. great flavor, did not bite and the aroma was appreciated by those around

Great package but the surprise is inside. So hold on to your pipe we are going on a ride full of satisfying full body flavor. Can't beat the price

• A little too aromatic - causes some tongue. • Smokes dry and smoothly - no gurgling dottle common to today's overly flavored blends. • I am still looking for a low/no aromatic blend that tastes like there's some real tobacco in it. • Stop all this overly aromatic and flavored blending for the kiddies. If you don't like the flavor of tobacco then don't smoke it! Smoke candies and perfumes instead!

Good blend!

Nice vanilla tabacco we it no bite

Great flavor, i haven't had a smoke in a while and this one was fantastic.

The flavor is there for a moment but after the first-second-third burn the notes are gone.

Nice aroma and no bite.

Heroes blend is a very nice smoke. No bite pleasantly sweet and burns to the bottom of the bowl with no relights

Bought this for a change up to my everyday lineup. I bought the small pouch to try, and WOW! It is a little wet for my taste, but a few short minutes of drying on the top of my heater in a coffee filter (I am a little impatient), and its ready to go! Smells like cookies baking after drying, and its a good, sweet smoke! Hardly any bite at all. I just ordered a 12 oz can of it today. If you like a good aroma, and a sweet smoke, you wont be sorry that you tried this one!

I'll start by saying I'm pretty new to the piping world, only a year and a half, so my tobacco pallet has yet to be fully developed, but I have to say... I LOVE this blend. It's very smooth and has a sweetness... but not overly so. I can pick up a subtle vanilla note and once in a while the slightest touch of honey and other times roasted coffee. It depends how hard I puff and the pipe it's in. There are several other flavors that come and go while going down the bowl and they are ALL good. I know, it's odd, but that's what I get out of it. I've gone through VaPers, English, Virginia and cheap OTC blends and I always, always come back to Casey Jones Hero's Blend. It's a perfect mix for me. I recently jarred three pouches so I'll have some in reserve for a while. I can never smell the room note, I might be too close to it, so I can't speak to that. Even the sweetest tobacco smells like regular smoke to me. So, long story short...this blend is my absolute favorite....hands down. I think I'll go enjoy some right now :)

I love the sweetness and the smell of this tobacco. I did have to dry it prior to smoking but it is a wonderful tobacco. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a sweet tobacco.

Great room note. Burns relatively cool. Easy to load into bowl.

I'm really liking this new aromatic. Lots of flavor, pleasant room note, and a long, cool burn.

This is one of my favorite blends. I bought it in a package combo with Missouri Meerschaum Great Dane mixture. This is a richer blend, with a slightly stronger aromatic quality. It's definitely mild enough to be an all day smoke. As I like to rotate tobaccos, it's one of the tops.

Same as the other Casey Jones, good smoke and aroma

One of my favorites

Casey Jones Hero's Blend has a very nice room note, no bite, and a smooth flavor. This is my go to blend. I prefer this to Casey Jones Beyond Brave.

Smooth taste

Great pipe tobacco, mild, no bite, smells wonderful. Will purchase again!

Clean nutty and wonderful

A fine smoke.

I tried Casey's Beyond Brave and enjoyed it, so decided to try Hero's Blend. While Beyond Brave is a good smoke, Hero's Blend has quickly become my go-to tobacco...but then, I have a pretty simple palate. This is a great smoke! It burns consistently clean and smooth, pleasant, with no bite. This fits perfectly around a campfire. Although no one will accuse you smoking a vanilla shake, it has a fine aroma. And, you don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford it. Recommend that folks give it a try.

Very smooth and clean

This is the best Casey Jones tobacco for me. Smokes evenly, no bite, and a room note that is constantly complimented. Price is also reasonable.

Being a huge fan of Casey Jones' "Last Ride", I figured that I would give this blend a try! I was not disappointed! Smokes a bit more mellow, so it's great for a beginner like me! Furthermore, it has a bit of sweeter taste and aroma, so when I get a sweet tooth craving, "Hero's Blend" hits the spot! Like "Last Ride", "Hero's Blend" will have a permanent rotation in my cellar! Now to pick up that 12oz. can!

I bought this for my husband.he said it has a great flavor.

Very smooth tobacco with a great aroma.

Feel transfixed smoking this and savoring every last puff of that vanilla flavor. Especially enjoyable to knock back a couple of drinks with.

Really like this tobacco for daily smoking. Not "too much" of anything so, it's a great regular smoking tobacco. Taste profile pretty spot on as described.

Similar to Capt. Black gold less bite

This and "Last Ride" have become my favorite!

I like it

My brother ordered the Hero's blend about a year ago, best stuff I've had yet, just the smell of the opened bag was out of this world. the last pouch i got was not quite as moist, but not dry either, Just doesn't smell or seem as good as my brother 's pouch. But I would order it again.

I purchased this never having smoked any of the Casey Jones tobaccos. I wasn't sure what to expect but, I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. I've been smoking it in one of my cobs, and it's worked out quite well. I have other favorites which I definitely like better but, make no mistake, this stuff was still a very enjoyable smoke. I'm not sure if it will become one of my regular puffs, but I'd definitely consider buying it again if and when I feel the need to mix things up or simply need a change of pace.

Very flavorful. I love the taste and aroma. The hero saves the day after working long shifts!

I bought a 1.5 oz. pack in connection with a promotion by P&C when I submitted my order before this one. I liked it so much I ordered 2 more pkgs. It’s still a decent smoke, but I don’t like it as much as I did initially...not sure what’s different in my reaction, but I’m not as happy as I was the first time.

I bought this on a whim after I made a big order and I was very surprised by this smoke now I'm trying to find it in bulk very good

Very solid mild smoke, with a vanilla aroma and naturally mild sweetness. To be honest this is one of the few blends that left me wanting another bowl after bowl.

Great smoke! I've been a pipe smoker for about a year and this is one of my favorite aromatic tobaccos I have found.

This one is moving to be one of my favorite. It is mild to smoke and has a great room note. This is first time I tried this brand and will reorder it again! If you had a list of tobaccos for new pipe smokers this one would have to be on it.

I love this blend!! Just got it and very happy about it!

Love Casey Jones Tobacco!!!

yup, its really nice stuff

Winner. Bitchin' pouch. Excellent room note. If you don't like it, smoke Latakia. If you still don't like that, don't risk cancer by smoking.

Nice mellow smoke, good flavor and great room note.

This was my first stab at a non-cherry aromatic and was immediately spoiled. Rich vanilla and honey, reminding me of some of La Aurora's best cigars, with sweet complexity of light fruit such as a fresh pear and a touch of mango. I now have two more pouches awaiting me. It's a mainstay with me now, just as is Casey Jones Last Ride is for cherry blends.

Worth more than its price. Complex, with woodsy notes that complement its vanilla top, floral, and with virtually no bite. It’s a great aromatic experience, well-balanced and immensely relaxing.

With the weather at below 50 degrees, the room note is important and this blend's is good. The cloud of smoke rises as a heron does from the reeds and is dense as clouds in the spring morning sky. It has the kiss of a young Irish lass instead of the bite of a viper. The nicotine hit is that of a babe in arms. A tribute to a hero locomotive engineer dedicated to his work.

With the below 50 degree weather still prevalent, the room note is very important for me to smoke in the house. The Green River Valley Cavendish saves the day when blended with Honey/Vanilla. The heavy cloud of smoke floats like a leaf in the autumn wind. No bite at all. A tickle of Vitamin N and all is right worth the world. Long live the history of Casey Jones the only RR hero I know.

Great all day smoke

It has become my second choice in pipe tobacco.. and I love the selection this company has

good flavor, for a package tobacco.

Thought it would be lesser tobacco covered by too much topping, couldnt have been more wrong, minimal bite, good flavor, suprisingly good tobacco, essentially less wet L1q

Casey’s product gives a delightful bowl to mull over. Grab a book, your favorite bowl, & enjoy.

Pretty decent smoke. I would say hardly any bite and didn't burn too hot as long as it's packed good. I didn't smoke any other blends untill after the pouch was finished. I'm considering a can in the future.

Great tobacco, I would highly recommend trying it.

Didn't know what to expect.. The blend was knew to me.. Only been in the pipe clan for well over a year. If you like anything that has hints of vanilla give it a shot..👍🏻

Casey Jones "Hero" is a cool smoking and flavorful blend, great at any time.

Good everyday blend. Burns well and has a nice aroma. Priced right.

It has a nice smooth flavor to it along with a sweet aroma. However, I found it hard to keep lit. Tried several different pipes with the same result. Don't know if it was me but I haven't had this problem with other brands.

Very smooth and great room note

Very tasty, very pleasant. Little tongue bite, subtle flavor. One of my regular rotation baccy's. No complaints. Will be buying again.

Good smoke, nice vanilla flavor and room note. A bit most, I suggest drying out a little before smoking.

I love this stuff! I can't leave it to go to my other brands I have! I ordered a pouch because of the review that was not so good, but when I tried it I couldn't understand the bad opinion. I ordered the tin and will not run out if I can help it! Thanks to P&C for providing it for us!!!!

Great blend very well balanced flavor definitely worth the money

The hubby really enjoyed this blend gives it 4 stars.He said the vanilla was not overpowering and the honey added just enough flavor making this blend a winner! many vanilla blends he has tried end up in his jar of all vanilla tobacco because he finds them boring but this one he said will be ordered again and not end up in the "JAR"!

I find my own tastes seem to prefer the Casey Jones Last Ride over the Hero's Blend.

I feel in love with this I have ordered more

It's smooth , all day smoking good.

I tried both the Hero's Blend and Last Ride and they're both good. I like Hero's Blend the best of the two. It burns good and has no harshness even when it's smoked a little hot. I don't see any way to make this stuff harsh. It has a sweet Vanilla taste that is somewhat like butterscotch. A nice mild all day smoke with great flavor. I'm going to order the 12 OZ tin and ad this to my rotation. Oh the room note is great too. Great stuff!

good tobacco just not a all day smoke

Bought this blend because it was suppose to be an aromatic and mild blend. Packed a new pipe with this tobacco and lit up. Smoking this blend was difficult because it would not stay lit very long and would not burn correctly. When I cleaned out my pipe, seems like I wasted about half a bowl each time. I put aside the new pipe and tried a couple of older pipes. Same experience so I know it is not my pipes. Sadly, I bought a pouch and a 12-oz can. Not sure when I will open the can as I was very disappointed with this blend. I will be smoking Dunhill London Mixture again which is a different flavor profile but has always burned consistent and is never a disappointment.

I really liked the vanilla/honey flavor. It is a great aromatic and super cheap. You are missing out if you don't at least buy a pouch and give it a try. Ready to smoke right out of the pouch, not to wet or dry. Burns nice and cool. Room note is one of the better vanillas I have tried, and people like the smell.

I tried Hero's blend because it sounded like something I would enjoy.When I got it the smell was great.Well i'll give the aroma 4 stars but the flavor doesn't match.I expected a more smooth flavor but what i got was bite.The room note is wonderful.Unfortunately this one isn't going on my favorites list.

Easy lite, enjoyable smoke, very satisfying.

This is not bad, but something is missing. The vanilla Does't come out like I expected. It does't compare to Last Ride.

Looking for a substitute for north sea, tried both Casey Jones Hero & Last Ride. Liked them both, mixed them together 50/50 like that too. Found my substitute. Great Smoke.

As the title says, nothing new here.

This is a nice smoking pipe tobacco, very smooth taste and a pleasant aroma.

Not really sure what it is about this blend, but I'm unable to finish an entire bowl... and I like vanilla aromatics. I tried about 5X now, and always dump it about 1/2 through. Something odd about this one for me. It's incredibly light. Maybe the lightest tobacco I've smoked (and I started smoking a pipe in 1987). Overly steamy. Not really sure why anyone would smoke this over 1Q. But I understand everyone's taste buds/PH are different, and this could be a home-run for someone. For me personally, it was remarkably banal.

It's a decent smoke Most probably would not smoke again

This isn't what I would call a bad pipe tobacco, but I just didn't feel that it had much to offer. I picked this up along with the Casey Jones last ride. Last ride Lives up to the name. This, however, doesn't have much flavor to offer other than just...... smoke. Vaguely caramel, mild, but that comes along with a fairly sharp bite, and maybe it's just me, but I also struggled to keep it lit. Overall, it is OK, but it doesn't do much for me. Not bad, not great.

I purchased a pouch of each Casey Jones, the Hero's Blend and Last Ride. Last Ride was a winner from start to finish. I've almost finished the pouch and hadn't tried this one yet, so I reluctantly put my Last Ride aside and opened the Hero's Blend. Smelled good in the pouch and lit it up one evening while watering my garden. Everything went downhill from there. Not only are my plants suffering from the cold summer nights we're having, my pipe was no longer my friend. This one smoked harsh and distasteful. Couldn't find any vanilla or butterscotch in either the taste or room note, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I finally gave up on it and knocked out the un-smoked portion and called it a night. I'll put this in my wine cellar for 6 months and come back to it. If it seems to have improved by then, I'll certainly leave another review. Until then, this one will not see the light of day for a while. If trying a new tobacco, go with Last Ride. That is a wonderful blend and enjoyable start to finish. Room note is so good I find myself following the smoke around just to smell it. Room note on this one brings back memories of tax audits and transmission problems. Not desirable.

Very smooth aromatic with hints of butterscotch. Not overwhelmingly sweet either. Great all day smoke.
