| First off name is a bit of a misnomer as this burley blend is more in the vein of a codger burley than a true aromatic.
The tobacco is a uniform brown ribbon cut with flecks of black. The pouch aroma is sweet and pleasant, reminiscent of the pipe smokers of my childhood.
It packs and lights easily and stays lit well.
It is a smooth smoke from at the match to the bottom of the bowl. Burns down to a fluffy gray ash. It smokes dry with little bite (you really have to puff hard to get it to bite). DidI mention it is very smooth.
As for the flavor, initial it is sweet with hints of cocoa (to me at any rate) this quickly fades away and you are left with pure burley nuttiness. It also has a very pleasant room note (in my experience tends to remind people of their grandfathers (not useful in picking up women)) It terms of strength I wuld put it on par with Prince Albert.
Overall it is a nice smooth burley As long as I have some, the Prince is relegated to second class citizen status
