"Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed is made of the finest Kentucky and Tennessee White Burley tobaccos, carefully selected and aged to give the coolest smoke possible. To these tobaccos, the master blender adds precise ingredients that have remained secret even today, to give Edgeworth its incomparable taste and aroma..."

I bought a pouch of this just for the review. It came very dry and with little scent. I used the gravity fill method and a light tamp when full. A little harsh at first puff due to the too-dry condition. Flavor and strength reminds me of the Edgeworth slices but not quite as rich. Remember, the slices were manufactured in Europe and the ready-rubbed is made by Lane,Inc. in the U.S. My pouch description makes no mention of Virginia tobacco at all, just light and dark Burleys. Also, this is not really a cube-cut tobacco although it is sort of a short shag cut. I am going to re-humidify this pouch and see if that richens the flavor a bit. If not, will make a good blender.

I have at last broken down and purchased a quantity of Edgeworth RR'd. A friend of mine has sworn by this stuff for many years and I figured that it was high time I give it a fair trial. I have really been enjoying burleys these past months and I must say that Edgeworth has certainly carved a niche in my rotation.
The aroma upon opeing is a mixture of sweet and grassy and though this stuff is supposed to be cased, there is none immediately evident. One charring light and then upon the second lighting one is greeted by the aroma of bread baking mixed with a bit of spice - very inviting. As I worked my way down the bowl, I sense the baking of bread and semi-sweet chocolate though Edgeworth should never be classified as an aromatic.
The bowl burned down to a grey and somewhat granular ash and left the bowl walls clean. The smoke was not what I would classify as a trip down ecstacy lane, but I do not feel that this was ever the intention of the Larus folks when they created Edgeworth. What I received was much the same kind of feeling one gets after a trip to the corner diner - a sense of satisfaction derived from a healthy portion of good comfort food. Edgeworth is best when smoked thoughtfully.
Even my wife didn't complain about Edgeworth.

Good burley mixture here. I use it for mixing othere tobaccos together. Try this one: McClelland's British Woods with a half ounce of Edgeworth ready rubbed.Mix together and soak it in light rum for a few days. Let it dry out and then thank me as you smoke one heck of a good blend! Edgeworth is good tobacco,It's burley and has a good tatse of spicey pecans.

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.
