The burleys have hints of nuts, molasses and toast. It may be designed to be a light all day smoke, but the flavors are so muted, the blend comes across as flat in comparison to just about any other burley blend. Has little nicotine. Burns at a fair pace and dry though it needs to be smoked at a moderate rate because it can get a little warm on the tongue. Needs few relights. Has a weak after taste. Can be an all day smoke or a mixer.

For a burley this is flat, has no flavor, character, balls or backbone. Burley lite indeed.

Been wanting to try burleys lately... at the tobacconist and picked up some of this Burley. Dry tobacco, burns great, nice mellow flavour with just a touch of spice. The is good quality and satisfies.

This is a light, gentle, easy to smoke buttery Burley, with a delightful room note. Pack it firmly to help mitigate any bite. This really is a decent smoke for when you are not meaning to "savor", and are otherwise distracted by reading, listening to music, etc.
I dont' recommend smoking this outside, as the fine cut burns very hot in any wind. Two and a half out of four stars.

Now I like burley blended or straight but this lacks any balls for a burley. This is good for blending with other tobacco to give some of that burley taste but as a straight smoke I don't know. Hmmm, as a upgrade to Prince Albert it doesn't have the nicotine or the interesting history of the Prince. I do find it mild and lacking the heavy moisturizing chemical treatments of the over the counter burley blends. Yet I love those American classics they have a robustness and character this lacks. This is definitely a good blender and perhaps a good intro to burley that shouldn't scare anybody off. Never the less, it is a little boring.

As the name implies, a light burley taste. It is quality burley, not the drugstore kind. If you like burley but don't want it IV dripped into your veins, well, here you go.

This was the first blend that my local tobacconist helped me pick out when I first picked up the pipe about six months ago (more experienced smokers may wish to ignore this review :). The pouch aroma is wonderful...and is the specific aroma which helped draw me to the pipe.
After trying other blends, I returned to this one, and I discovered that flavor is almost non-existant. I would compare it to placing one's mouth over the opening of a humidifier. I may as well have, it smoked pretty wet. However, it gave me quite a cool smoke.
I cannot say if I will try this one again, but I am certain to keep the tobacco and place it strategically in my room to give it that "tobacco shop smell."
