Crooner

Crooner (B)

First the back story. Cornell & Diehl was contacted a number of years ago by a gentleman who claimed to be a friend of famed pipe smoker Bing Crosby who said he had the recipe for Bing’s private blend. After hearing the recipe it was decided it would make a good blend whether the story was true or not. In 2006 or ’07 (C&D’s memories aren’t what they were) the IPCPR Convention was held in Las Vegas. Sure enough, every restaurant or hotel they went into confirmed that indeed our friend and the Crooner were inseparable whenever Bing was in Vegas! This has specially cut cube Burley and Deer Tongue. An authentic copy from one of Bing’s friends who blended it with him.
