Peter Stokkebye 41 Cube Cut

Good!

Nothing fancy just great taste and the cube cut allows for a long smoke.

I hadn't smoked a cube cut for decades, so I thought I'd give this a try. Pouch aroma: ok, just nondescript, generic tobacco. OK there. Loaded some into a tapered bowl, tamped it down and lit up. And gagged. Dumped it out after half the bowl. This is supposed to be non-aromatic, but there is definitely SOME casing or topping. If you like Velvet, you'll love this, because that's what it tastes like. To me, anyway. Then I read some reviews of this blend. Hmmm; everybody likes it. So I tried a suggestion from one of the reviewers; I used a deep, narrow bowl and gravity-filled it without tamping down. 2 matches later it was going. Smoked it slowly and had no trouble keeping it lit. Also, I didn't suffer the explosive embers others warned about. It was more enjoyable than the first bowl had been, but there are many other tobaccos that I like better. So, I guess I won't dump it into my flower bed like I'd planned to do after that first bowl. I may let it age a bit, and smoke it as I go, but I won't be ordering any more.

The cube cut burley was excellent. It arrived ready to smoke. Not too moist and not too dry. Great value.

I have found Stokkebye’s Cube Cut Burley to be a very tasty blend of (mostly) burley and Virginia tobaccos which have been pressed together in layers for a time, then sliced, and then diced (cutting across the slices) to form nice little cubes. It’s basically minced tobacco, and it is an uncommon cut to find these days. As noted in other reviews, just gravity-feed the cubes into your bowl and very gently tamp. Leave some space at the top of the bowl as the cubes expand considerably upon lighting. This tobacco seemed at about the right moisture level and it was easy to light and to keep lit. It burned nicely to the bottom of the bowl. There was lots of nutty burley flavor with the Virginia providing a touch of sweetness. This blend is fairly similar to Carter Hall, Prince Albert, Chatham Manor and the like, except it seem a bit more robust to me. Lots of burley flavor, not too much nicotine, and still mild enough to be an all day smoke for me. And all at a very good price. If you like burley-based blends, you’ll like this. I highly recommend it!

This is the best of burley and Virginia combined in a cute little cube. Do not tamp---let gravity have its way. A great smoke---burns to the bottom---to have in your rotation if you like both tobaccos.

This is a relaxing, mellow tobacco. It reminds me a lot of Edgeworrh RR. I've smoked ERR a lot over the last 40 years and exclusively for about 15 years right before it changed. This is as close to ERR as i have found. The casing is not too heavy. It reminds me of caramel. Just a light pack and a couple of charring lights and your good to go. Once some of the cubes catch, a few puffs and your good to go.

I am just getting back into pipe smoking after a long interval of not doing so. I bought a variety of bulk tobaccos to sort of feel out where my taste lies. I found this blend to be more like a cigar. The taste was more of an attack on the tongue than the other tobaccos I've been trying. Not in the sense of a burning but a bit of biting or lingering strength. The mouthfeel was not as smooth as I've grown accustom to. I found it to light well and stayed lit pretty good even though I tried to not overdraw for fear of creating a harshness. I found no redeeming qualities in the taste but the aroma after I finished the bowl was a very nice, light natural tobacco smell. I will use the rest of this purchase to step up any other blends I feel may need a little extra oomph.

Great cube cut burley/Virginia. Al day fun.

Unexpectedly delicious ...)

In 30 years, this's one of the best I enjoyed.

Smooth and slow burning, blends well with other virginias and a treat when used to lighten up heavier latakia blends. Would recommend and will buy again.

Amazing stuff. A regular weekly smile for me. I like Wessex Burley Flake and Solani Burley Flake for the Burleys, but when I want a strong Burley with a little sweetness I go for this. It has been compared to the different Edgeworth matches, but I like this better than any of those (and I think I've tried them all at this point!) The closest second to Cube Cut would be Uhle's 00 in my opinion. Gravity feel this tobacco and go.

Very pleasant and nice....Pack by gravity and add a little something that you like to top it off. Enjoy, and repeat as desired.

Wow, what a surprise. The cube cut makes for an fantastic pack. Just gravity fill and the tabac smokes perfectly - cool with copious smoke. Mellow flavor and room note. Excellent price in bulk. Not tongue bite whatsoever. This may become my regular smoke.

P.S. makes some great bulk blends and this is one of them. Nothing to brag about. Just a smooth Virginia mix, you can smoke all day long. Gravity load, a light tamp, and you'regood to go

Mmm Mmm Good. This is the second cube cut I have tried and I am glad I did. Really nutty taste and smokes cool, without tongue bite. The only issue I have had is sometimes small pieces of cube coming up the airway. I prefer to muse this in my MM cobs with a filter. Minimal dry time needed and no mess at the bottom when done. When I pack a bowl of this I plan on getting some reading done cause it stays lit for a while with a good slow cadence. Filling a bowl is very easy as well. Really nice.

It's good on its own but I use it to sweeten several other blends. Great compliment to English blends.

Came in Fresh an ready

It is slow to light. It does better in a small diamater bowl. The taste is tobacco and great. Burns cool and compete. Toastey burly and sweet Virginia. I will order more.

I tryed a few bowl out of pouch-nice and not overpowering aroma and cool alright smoke-remind me flakes smoking but a little boldy then.Good smoke but not light,i store it for now ,giving a time ,newer know what would be in a few weeks from now

I continue to be seriously impressed with nearly every Peter Stokkebye blend I've tried. This is no exception. I was pleasantly surprised by the mild sweetness of this blend. Overall, a very pleasant, all day, every day smoke in my opinion. When loading the pipe, simply let gravity do it's thing, and don't pack tightly at all. This is sure to become a standard for me. It's already in my shopping cart.

Better for blending or blend extending. Nice, well behaved on it's own. May smoke slightly damp but nowhere near wet. Swiss army knife of pipe tobacco.

The aroma is delicate and slightly sour (owing to the burley). I detect a slight wisp of some of kind of liquor in the casing. I scoop the tobacco with the bowl of my pipe and tamp with care not to press it too much. The tobacco lights easily and the flavor is that of cocoa, tea, and toast. As the bowl progresses there is a little spice or pepper now and then and a little vanilla—but the chocolate flavor of the burley takes center stage supported by the natural sweetness of the Virginia. The tobacco burns well. Gentle tamping at the midpoint is necessary. No goop is left in the bowl. The room note is pleasant and seems to fade away quickly. This is a pleasant, no-fuss smoke—but with sufficient complexity to hold your interest.

I recently tried this since Stokkebye Tobacco was on sale At P&C. I like burleighs and cube cut burleigh in particular. My go to cube cut heretofore has been Uhle's blend 300. I have found that Stokkyebye # 41 is, for me, a better choice. It is not as sweet as the Uhle's although there is a bit of sweetness. There is also a fuller and richer toasty, nutty flavor that I look fon in burleigh blends. This will become a staple of my rotation. Very good indeed!

This was an easy tobacco to light and smoke. It reminded me a lot of Edgeworth RR except for the light vanilla casing. I think that distracted from the smoke.

This is my ideal tobacco. It's easy to pack but takes some effort to light evenly. Once lit, though, it is easy to smoke. I don't get any tongue bite. The flavor is straightforward, high-quality burley and virginia. I don't get any aromatic note from it, but it does have a pleasant aroma to my wife (and that's saying a lot).
