It's amazing. The flavoring doesn't hide the true burley taste and the combination of the two flavors is remarkable. An all day smoke that is best paired with a cup of your finest coffee.

My #2 go to smoke and one I enjoy. Everything in the description I found to be true. Zero tongue bite, even if you're a hard puffer. Packs very well (I use the three bears method). Maybe half the time I have to relight after the char light, and usually make it 2/3 of the way through or more before I have to relight. 2 out of 3 times I smoke it to the dottle with 1-2 lights. My wife enjoys the room note and I often get the "reminds me of my grandfather" comments when smoking it in public. Great smoke for beginners. All day smoke for any experience level.

One of the best aromatics I have ever smoked. It has a simple and inoffensive taste that one desires in an aromatic, which is something that many aromatics don't do well (they taste foul or sour). The aroma, which is primarily why people would try this blend, is fantastic. It is a pretty complex smell, with tones of vanilla and butternut and rum. It is a very even and consistent smoke with no ugly surprises.

This is without a doubt one of the best everyday smokes I have ever had. Cool with absolutely no tongue bite. A wonderful mix of burley and virginias that gives off an aroma to die for. Gentle flavors of mild strength with an even burn, I could smoke this for 24/7 and die happy.

Very mild. No tongue bite, even with heavy puffing. Burns to a nice ash. Decent flavor and smell, my wife doesn't mind it. It's a sweet aromatic, which I don't usually smoke, but this one is good, especially first thing in the morning with my coffee. Later in the day I want more nicotine kick than this offers. My biggest problem with it is the fact that I can't dry it out no matter how long I leave it out, and that just doesn't seem natural. I think it must have an additive to keep it moist. But that does not seem to make it gunk up in the bowl or burn hot, which is also kind of weird. Summary: Aromatics aren't my thing, but if you like them this should be a top pick to try out.

This is definitely going to become a go to blend. As the description said, no bite. Ever. This tobacco never bit me, and I plan on getting more of it as it went down very smoothly. Its flavored with nutty undertones and a generally mild smoke, and has a great sweet maple like smell to it as it is exhaled. I'll definitely have to pick up some more for my cellar.

This is what aromatic smoking is all about! This is Our Best Blend,PA,PS Va. Longcut in an aromatic,all my favorite blends in different categories I can smoke all day. Appearance is tan,brown and black in a rough cut.Don't see ribbon,shag or flake. This is like Lane's I-Q only raised to the upmost degree. I don't know if it's a higher grade of tobacco,or a better flavoring used. No bite probably because of the cut. I consider this Black Cordial's lighter brother. If you pack it loose & tamp only when you can't re-light you will get the tobacco taste. Very smooth,creamy and pleasant. I smoke this to and from work every day. For those who smoke everything, you're doing yourself a great dis-service but not trying this nectar. Monochromaticness (Funn Dictionary), blandness comes from over puffing IMHO.Currently smoking it in a small meer with a sharp V at the bottom of the bowl. No goop or moisture at all. I have to re-pack if a strand clogs the bottom of the bowl. I put this in a Vinyl sifter pouch which de-moisturizes(Funn Dictionary) it to the perfect degree. No hassel loading,put the granules on top from the other side of the pouch gives you a perfect smoke. Friends have told me they're hungry after smelling this blend. This is the perfect blendation(Funn Dictionary) of taste,smell,smokability,bitelessness(Funn Dictionary) in an Aromatic!! Highly recommended!! Makes you capitalize Aromatic it's so good.

I have read the reviews here on this blend & I think first off you have to like areo's to even consider this blend. This is a Great Tobacco . Great starter for the new pipe smoker. A nice change for the seasoned pipe smoker. I seen where a couple reviews said it has bite??? I dont see how thats possible unless there extremily hard puffers & I do mean HARD puffers because I couldnt make this stuff bite!! Burley fans & areo fans give it a try, I think you will be glad you did.

My experience with Butternut Burley mirrors that expressed in Pipe4ever's earlier review. I experienced an initial predilection for this blend, but subsequent smokes have turned it into an extreme re-conditioning experience for my palate, which seems to have become irreversibly averse to it. I don't know what's made even jarred BB turn bitter and frankly repugnant to my palate after a time. Could be some chemistry in the blend itself. But I've submitted my batch to repeated and varied samplings and I every time I had to dump the bowl. No more BB for me.

I have been smoking the blend off and on for about 18 months. I finally decided to review it. First off, I think one has to like aromatics to like this blend, just being a burley smoker is not enough as it is very mild and has a definite butter pecan tsste. This could easily be an all day blend and can't and won't wear out the tongue. It is what it is and that's a mild aromatic that does not have tongue bite, it smokes clean, has a great flavor and aroma and makes a great blender. This tobacco comes in bulk and when opening the bag it has a scent of Simores. It smells good enough to eat. It is a somewhat moist blend and has a mixed coloring from light to very dark in a rough cut ribbon. It does have a little stickyness to the touch but it packs easily in the pipe and it lights and stays burning very well. It emits a nice, very creamy cool smoke, not overpowering nor cloying at all, just the good butter pecan flavor and wonderful room aroma. It burns down to a nice grey ash with very little dottle and does not leave a bunch of moisture in the bottom of the pipe in spite of it being a moist tobacco. This is not one I wasnt to smoke all day but it could easily be for some, but I do find myself reaching for it a lot with a cup of coffee. I also smoke it when around people as they tend to like the aroma. This would be a great blend for new smokers as it won't bite their tongue and it tastes good. I highly recommend this but not to purists. One must like an aromatic to enjoy this blend or at least be open to them.

This is one of my "Big Three" I keep 1 Lb in candy jars on the shelf along side of Rolando's Own and a Dunhill 965 copy. It is a flavorful burley that won't bite and mixes well with other aromatic burley blends (like Peretti's No Name blend) and tastes fine on it's own. It is a real staple tobacco that I return to again and again. And it's a real bargain too.

I am learning to be a burley fan. I have tried two or three different versions and this is my favorite. No bite, billowy smoke, behaves well when lit, and it tastes good. If you are looking for a big bold tobacco this isn't it. If you are looking for a nice smooth burley to begin or end you day with then give this one a try.

I love this stuff! I'm a new pipe smoker and started with the Victory Lap Sampler from Pipesandcigars.com, and I have to say that after trying the mild Trout Stream and stronger Anniversary Kake and Larry's Blend that I keep reaching for Butternut Burley more and more. I love the spicy taste of the (burley?) and the nicotine content is a bit stronger than Trout Stream, just what I'm looking for. I've only smoked a few bowls, but plan on ordering up a pound of this and storing it away in some canning jars (this stuff is cheap too, a pound is only twenty bucks!). As for one of the reviews below, not sure I would smoke 2 oz. straight of any kind of tobacco, I prefer a 'rotation' as I see some other folks do. Do yourself a favor and get a few oz of this and add it to your 'rotation', highly recommended! 8)

I love this blend, a lot. I can't add much more than that, I keep this on hand all the time in a carry pouch when I go out, and in my largest humidor.

Hands down, this is the mildest blend I have ever smoked. It behaves nicely in almost any pipe, and always burns down to a nice dry, grey ash. This is about the only blend I have ever smoked that absolutely, will not bite...no matter how hard you try. After smoking the first pound or so, it does tend to be a bit "bland". I find that mixing in a little Altadis "Creme Brulee" or Lane Limited "Very Cherry" will liven it up a bit, though. I would definately reccommend this to anyone looking for a great "beginner's pipe tobacco" or perhaps for an "All Day Smoke" for those of us more 'seasoned' pipers. UPDATE: I finally found exactly how I like it: Take one pound of Butternut Burley and add 2 ounces of Lane BCA and two ounces of Altadis Creme Brulee.....aromatic nirvana!

There's probably good burley hidden beneath all the sweetness, but I couldn't be sure. When I want a sweet tobacco, I'll reach for a Virginia. Two bowls was enough for me, but if you like sweet burley, you might enjoy this blend.

This is a very good bulk blend that pipesandcigars.com puts out. A great room note while smoking (the wife loves the aroma, which is a good thing) and it really smells great out of the bag. Very easy to light and keep lit and it leaves a nice ash at the end of the bowl. No tongue bite was even hinted at during smoking this fine blend. The nicotine content is just right for me. I will definitely getting more of this fine blend as time goes on.

This was my second non-aromatic to try. It's not bad, but it makes me appreciate aromatics. I've also tried Tinderbox's 'Wilshire' (aka Lane's 1Q), and I'd agree with the description, that they are similar, and if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick this one. Not my favorite but it is a pleasant smoke. I will agree you can't make this one bite, no matter how fast you smoke it. The Tin Description listed above is a pretty accurate evaluation.
