Super Value Bourbon Whiskey
(3.30)
From Pipes&Cigars website: Super Value Bourbon Whiskey uses fine Virginias and burleys to create a cool smoking blend that is made sweeter and more fragrant by the addition of premium bourbon whiskey flavor. The flavor is subtle, and the room note is enjoyable, but most of all, you get all of this at a price that will make you smile.

Super Value - Bourbon Whiskey.
This is my choice today as it's my Aromatic Sunday!
The pouch holds a blend that has an appearance which isn't what the description says. It isn't a ribbon, but a coarse cut/mixture. It contains more Burley and Virginia than black Cavendish, isn't too damp, and has quite a potent smell of whiskey to it.
When I lit my first bowl the smoke I got wasn't as I expected. I still feel the same. See, the name Super Value imbues a feeling of 'budget', but the smoke is much better than that! The black Cavendish gives the least flavour, Virginia and Burley account for the prominence of the smoke. The tobaccos have a 'regular' taste, for this type of blend. It's the topping which surprised me, this doesn't taste cheap. It isn't astringent, bitter, alcohol-sharp, or the way I'd assume a cheaper blend to be. It has sweetness, is slightly fragrant, and the alcoholic note doesn't consume the flavour; the alcoholic trait adds a minor 'zest', but nothing more. The burn from it's faultless, being cool, steady, and below medium in speed. I get no tongue bite.
Nicotine: above mild. Room-note: quite nice.
Super Value Bourbon Whiskey? Although I don't tend to favour whiskey aromatics I think this is as good as any in this genre. So, for cost and quality I'll give it four stars:
Highly recommended.

This beats Borkum Riff or Erin Go Braugh in flavor and price. I also smoke Stokkebye Highland Whiskey and this compares to it in quality. The taste is different as one is a bourbon and the other is a highland whiskey with malt that has been smoked in a fire of peat. The flavor hangs on for the entire bowl rather than disappearing as a lot of other whiskey blends do. It seems to have a better balance between the burley and Virginia components than a lot of other whiskey blends do. If you like whiskey blends or know someone who does then this is worth a try. I was surprised by the depth and intensity of the flavor. Don't expect performance equal to the high rollers that cost $5 per ounce. Take it for what it is. A good honest tobacco for everyday use or those on a budget that have to make every dollar count.

Super Value Bourbon Whiskey this is another blend that surpassed all expectations and turned out to be a very good tobacco. Haven't tried any others from the SV line but if they are half as good as this one they might be worth checking out in the future.
First of all, it is inexpensive at around $4 a pouch currently. It is not goopy or over moist and burns perfectly with no to little relights. The smell from the pouch is rather strong but the flavor once lit is not overpowering.
I would recommend this one without question if this sounds like something you may enjoy. Also recommend Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey as both are similar and burn well with no Tounge bite in my experience, but the Super Value gets a extra star due to the price difference since Borkum Riff cost a lot more than the Super Value.
