Ralf´s Burley Cup is ment to be a companion to a cup of coffee or chocolate-drink in the morning. "Ralf" is Ralf Dings or "Ralligrufti", a german piper, who makes a lot of pipe related YT-Videos. He asked Motzek, to create a beginner friendly, yet refined tobacco, that goes along well with the typical morning beverage. So far, so good!
65% Burley show it's presence in the smell from the bag: Deep chocolaty, with nuances of nuts, coffee and a toasted-aroma. I know for fact (Ralf´s said so), that this tobacco has been flavoured with chocolate- and roasted-coffe-aroma, yet the flavouring is very subtle and gently applied so it melts with the natural tobacco taste excellently.
The broken flake mixture is easy to handle in terms of packing and lighting. Comes in perfect smoking condition.
Burley Cup´s taste is superior and lives up to it's name. Deep, rich chocolaty burleys blasting with a tad of nuttiness. The pleasing taste is expanded by the flavouring, which brings notes of roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate and has a toasty nuance to it. The Virginia helps flattening the rich tastes of the Burleys by giving gentle sweetness and keeping the tobacco from being to bitter. Yet this isn't a sweet smoke at all! The taste is tart, roasty and toasty, with bursting chocolaty & nutty flavours that also tend to deliver some earthy tones!
Even me, who doesn't drink any coffee at all, because I'm sensitive to caffeine (a glass of cola makes me drown in cold sweat) loves this smoke and it's refined, robust, earthy taste. Has a feeling just like having a hot pot of coffee or a chocolate drink made from dark chocolate.
Perfect morning beverage along with a hot drink (roibos tee in my case) after breakfast! They really managed to make something special out of this composition. Ralf´s Burley Cup has rich taste, pleasing, diversified flavours and just seems like the perfect companion for a relaxed morning.
A must try for any Burley-lover and people who like chocolaty tobaccos. Worth trying for almost everyone imho.
