| At the shop, the jar smelled like instant ice tea mix. Always looking for something different, I thought "I'll give it a try." I'm not a cube-cut fan and this experience will keep me away forever. This was some of the worse stuff to work with. Hard to light is an understatement. When I finally got it going, the room was filled will a strong incense smell. Tolerable, but not my choice for incense, let alone pipe tobacco. I even threw this stuff in food processer and, much to my surprise, it wouldn't breakdown!

| I have been making a lot of trades lately and am trying blends that are all over the map as to kind and type. First off this does smell kind of flowery in the bad, a cube cut for sure, burley which I like and it filled very easy into the pipe, I gravity packed it as I knew it would be a slow burner. And it was, very slow, very hard to light (my sample was very dry) and for me was hard to keep lit. But what a great, smooth velvety, and very flavorful smoke. I smoked before bed and it has left a great taste in my mouth. The burley nuttiness really never presents itself as the flavor is very intense. Natural flavoring, I don't think so. I get a peach like flavor and the aroma was great. Very gentle to the tongue, I mean really gentle, but the flavor lasted all the way down with no gunk at all. I really liked it. I will mix a neutral style burly that burns fast like PA with it next to see if I can keep it lit better. But, I could live on this stuff if I had too. Much softer than the Mix 79. If you are an English smoker this is not for you but if you like non vanilla aromatics, I highly recommend it.

| This is not Sutliffe's # 79 reborn. House of Windsor's "Bourbon Street" fills that more precisely, though of course, with much more finesse.
Tinder Box's # 2 has changed in the past 35 years, but then again, so have I. It cannot be compared with its progenitor, but as is...it ain't bad for a reasonably-available bulk aromatic smoke.
It's closest relative is Uhle's 255. It might take a while longer to mail-order from Uhle...but the wait is worth it!
Not a bad smoke, compared with some of the God-awful stuff out there (you might even love it) but with Bourbon Street and especially Uhle's 255...you can do better.
All-in-all, one could do(and this one HAS) done worse.

| This is a blend I've been smoking for years. It's now a standby for me and I recommend it for the burley crowd.
To the eye it's a uniform dark brown, with a smattering of lighter browns, in what is a real cube cut burley. If theres much else in there, I don't see it. In the jar it smells a bit like licorice. Being a cube cut, it load easily and with only a bit of tamping. I've smoked entire pipefuls after lighting with just one match. Burning characteristics are superb: a slow, easy puffing cadence yields a very cool, very dry smoke. When first lit, there is a moment where the topping seems quite strong, and I have to admit, at first I wasn't at all certain that I was going to care for this blend. I would describe this as being a "floral" aroma. But after only a minute, it settles down and throughout the rest of the pipe, the flavoring stays subdued and it's a good burley experience. I find it a nice change of pace that I always keep on hand. I've never been bit by this, and it's never gooped up a pipe. It builds cake very quickly.
I recommend this not because it will knock you socks off, but as one of those quiet, dependable smokes that has all of the good characteristics of a quality burley.

I despised it, you may love it.
