Crooner

Crooner is an American classic pairing cube-cut burley with deertongue herb. Per Cornell & Diehl, the blend is a reconstruction of a private mixture prepared for singer Bing Crosby; the recipe comes from Bob Runowski, who blended for Crosby.

The cube-cut burley burns slowly, giving a nutty, dry body; deertongue adds a sweetish aroma and flavor layer somewhere between vanilla and hay. It suits smokers who love nearly-unflavored, single-axis burley blends and are curious about the classic American style.
