Motzek Ralf's Burley Cup
(3.25)
Mellow-sweet nuttiness, dark chocolate and fine roasted aroma of finest coffee. With 65% burley and various Virginias this is a dark, yet velvety smooth experience for the burley lover. A tasty specialty that's unique through and through.

I don't have much to add to the previous reviews. I can't really taste the chocolate or the coffee, but I like this mixture very much. It's smooth, tasty, full-bodied but gentle, with a very natural taste of wood, leaf and dark bread. It reminds me of MB's Navy Flake, but more natural-tasting. One of the best burley-based mixtures I've tried so far. Bravo!
Please note: I don't really know about the room note, I smoke outside most of the time!

If it was possible to smoke bread the taste would be like Ralf's Burley Cup. That is exactly what comes to mind, a dark wholewheat rye bread.
The burley tastes mellow and nutty with a little caramelized cane sugar, there is just a hint of sweetness which probably comes from the virginias. This is an excellent mild yet naturally aromatic blend, it can be smoked all day and never bites. Burley lovers should give it a try. Well done TaK!
