An extraordinary blend of the finest Burley and carefully selected light golden Virginia tobaccos.

By cutting the pressed Cavendish cross-wise, the characteristic cubes are formed. These cubes guarantee an easy fill and even burning pipe. Pressed blend composed mainly of Burley and dark-fired tobaccos with some Virginia leaf. |

| Notes: Edgeworth ReadyRubbed was one of my first tobaccos starting about 1967. Both the RRd and the Sliced, as well as Union Jack, were staples of my grandfather's smoking repertoire until his death. So, I was familiar with the blend and the great room aroma. But, I was unprepared for the smoking qualities. Sold then in a blue foil pouch for about $0.22/pouch, it was unimpressive, right? just another drugstore tobacco? Wrong then, wrong now! On opening the can, (and it really is best in the can not the plastic pouch), the first aromatic sensations are warm earth and chocolate and coffee and bread baking. A great burley aroma fills the room and you just want to sniff and sniff. Moist but not wet to the touch, it packs well in any pipe but seems to smoke better in a medium to large biliard bowl. Usually two or three charring lights are needed. The first puffs may seem tangy to the palate but the smoke smoothes out quickly and a pleasant flavor, actually a series of flavors, emerges. The room aroma is solid, obvious w/o being unpleasant, lingering like good tobacco should. It burns clean and dry with a gray white ash to the bottom of the bowl.
I have thoroughly enjoyed Edgeworth RRd for these past 34 years, sometimes though for a month or so being enamoured with another, almost forgetting the joys of its smokiing qualities, but never straying so far to be unable to return.

| I find this to be a harsher and bitier blend than Edgeworth Slices, despite the alleged presence of a Rum casing. If you really like Burley, you may like this, but I think you would like Edgeworth Slices a lot better. I do. I won't be buying any more of this.

| Cube cut and random bits of nothing but Burley, with a little topping. One of my co-workers swore by it, and smoked nothing else his entire adult life. I love it as a change of pace, it is always cool and tasty, and can be puffed at slow to medium rate without biing. If you haven't tried it, you should. Just a nice nutty flavor.

| This is most definitely a burley tobacco; that is apparent from the first puff. I should also say here that I don't like most of the burleys I've tried, but I did attempt to give this a fair trial. I ordered a sample bag of this, so the appearance and smell may differ for you, if you buy a tin. In the bag, I can smell a rather ordinary, basic tobacco, with perhaps a hint of sweetness. Though the description says it is cased, I would not know that from just the smell. It is in a rather ragged cube cut, partially rubbed out but mostly in small chunks. It packs well, and appears to have average moisture content. On lighting, the smoke is a nutty, ordinary smell, very similar to other burleys I've smoked. It burns OK, needing a larger than average number of relights. For the first third of the bowl, I get hints of a sweet casing of some type, though I can't identify it. The strongest flavor, however, is the nutty, somewhat harsh burley. This is not a bad flavor, but there is some bite and the harshness is not appealing. Into the second third, the casing disappears, and the nuttiness becomes stronger and darker. Tongue bite is still a threat, lurking ever in the background. The final third is a repeat of the second, though the harshness does become more pronounced. If not for that and the bite, I might enjoy this, since the flavor itself is not bad. It isn't anything special either, however, and it's just not worth fighting the problems for what is a fairly ordinary smoke. Overall, not very impressive. If you enjoy burleys (and GL Pease's blends don't count!), then you may like this. I don't, and therefore will likely not be smoking this very often. NOTE: My first impression above was confirmed through trials in two other pipes; nix on this one.
