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

| 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."
