Comment = Very Smooth, Very Mild, Mellow, not as sweet as Lane Limited 1-Q or Trout Stream, nice Flavor

Update: Smoked a few more ounces. This is just a superb smoke. The more I smoke ...my fondness for this burley increases. I found that as it ages it gets better. Just a smooth, tasty, sweet tobacco. I slobber just thinking about this blend. Very clean burley tobacco taste after the tasty sugar cookie buttery taste subsides at the beginning of the bowl.Very clean and cool smoke. This has to be one of the best burley blends I've ever smoked. I highly suggest a cob for this blend. Yummy!!!!! If you are a burley lover ..... get some and smoke at least a few ounces. This blend requires time to really appreciate. I've found that it smokes much better packed somewhat loosely. A truly great tobacco. Butternut burley has moved to the top of my favorite baccy ...... I reach for it often. I will keep Scotty's butternut Burley well stocked!

As others have mentioned similar to 1Q. I find it to be like a super light version of Pipes and Cigars Trout Stream. I generally smoke this in a Grabow freehand or cob w/o a filter. Billows of a mildly fragrant smoke with a light flavor. Good mild warm weather fare. Everyone likes the aroma. I believe this is one of the best aromatic offerings available, which from my perspective, is all this blend can be expected to be.

This behaves extremely well towards the bottom of bowl and doesn't goop or ghost. When I crave something easy, light and sweet, , this is my 1st choice. 3 stars.

Not bad in any way, just a bit odd and highly unexpected in relation to its name.

I have read of the comparison to an "old sweater", but my only ability to make this connection (albeit, after only one bowl) is that it is of a sweater redolent with a woman's perfume.

As I said above, unexpected fragrance and taste.

Update: taking a hint from Blevins, I spread this on a plate and left open in my humidor to air for two days. Totally different experience; odd "perfumy" notes have gone. Smooth smoke, without any gurgle, goop or bite, even burn all the way down. Nice.

If you want a pleasant tasting burley tobacco that you could literally smoke all day long and have a tongue left, this is your huckleberry.

A simple blend containing a quality burley, some black cavendish and some flavoring that to me tastes like butterscotch. The flavoring doesn't overpower the burley, so it's a nice balance....when made correctly.

I've smoked it for years, but there does seem to be a consistency problem with the flavoring applied. Whereas in batches in the past one could easily taste the burley, the amount of flavoring applied to my most recent order suggests a heavy hand was used in adding the butterscotch flavoring so that it completely overwhelms the tobacco. It's almost like smoking pure butterscotch flavoring. Nearly unsmokable, this order only merits two stars. It will likely take weeks in an open humidor to make it what it should be. They need to tone down the flavoring considerably and return to what it used to be, a well balanced burley aromatic.

I got this as part of the victory lap sampler, and am blown away. In fact tasting this in my "university" pipe purchased ten years ago in a similar act of conversion. Soon, at my door the postman had delivered a natural Savinelli with Lucite stem. All the difference in the world! A biggish bowl, short, bent and nicely darkening.

The pouch aroma bowls one over, but not in a negative way, just tobaccoey sweetness, and a little something else. They call it butternut - I call it all, as a total package, unctuous. This blend has affirmed my love of burley. I find a short amount of drying helps my enjoyment, and reduces gurgle to non-existent.

If others read this review,and feel inclined, please point out other nice burley blends.

My wife will put up with me "secretly" smoking in the house. I like Virginias too, but she won't have them. As a gift to myself and to her, I have ordered eight ounces.

Also ordered a trevi author rustic - shall try in it as well. Also, some EMP clone is on its way - 4 oz., and from what I'm reading, I think I will enjoy it.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this is a very mild tobacco with a very pleasant butterscotch type flavor. It burns well and provides a good smoke.

However, I do find that the amount of topping can be inconsistent from one bowl to the next it seems. It's as though the flavoring is very apparent in some bowls and hardly existent in others. I can only assume that it was applied with haste and the result was inconsistency.

Nonetheless, it's a good aromatic burley blend that even at it's worst is better than most others.

As the previous reviewer likened it to an old comfortable sweater, I must agree. The flavor and taste are familiar, not overbearing, and perfect with a morning cup of coffee. I would have to add that it is not your typical sweet aromatic and is fairly simple in it's taste. There are indeed faint notes of buttery, nutty, almost pecan sandie flavoring, but these do not overpower the natural tobacco taste.

This will probably become one of my go-to Burleys. Not that I smoke burley blends all that often but sometimes I am in the mood for something simple, comfortable, and familiar.

I just ordered another five pounds. This blend is smooth and enjoyable. Anything but 'just another bitey aromatic' because it is everything most aromatics are not. Burley bites me bad, but not this. I dry most aromatics in a sunny window for a day, or three. Not this. Most aromatics will ghost a pipe. Not this. Most aromatics burn finicky and leave 25% or more dottle. Not this.

Over and over again, I move to foo-foo blends, try tins of this and that, bump up my Latakia content to the stratosphere, move to straight Virginias, then VA/Pers, and simply forget about my Butternut Burley.

Then, like that old sweater, it pops up again and finds its way back into my life for days on end. Days stretch to weeks, then to months.

Then one day, I'm called away. Knowing that with time, this old friend will find me again.
