Well, after my experience with Ready Rubbed, I nearly decided to not try this burley tobacco at all. But, readying the Novocain for my tongue, I packed and lit a bowl of the small sample I purchased, determined to at least make an effort to give this tobacco a fair trial. I'm glad that I did; while by no means my favorite smoke, this blend is remarkably accessible to a burley hater such as myself. In the bag, I detect a musty, fairly normal tobacco aroma. The sample came as partially rubbed-out flakes, mainly dark browns with some scattered medium brown as well. The moisture level was average, and packing was fairly easy. I chose a smaller pipe, and left the flake about half rubbed out when packing. It lit easily and burned well, with an average number of relights despite the flakes. For the first third of the bowl, the nutty flavor of burley was all I noticed: medium fullness, medium strength, and medium taste. Unlike Ready Rubbed, there is no bite at first with this blend; actually, it is fairly smooth for a burley. The taste of the smoke isn't bad; not as full as I usually like, but actually somewhat flavorful. In the second 1/3, the flavor develops, becoming fuller and more complex. There's a hint of sourness on my tongue, and even a trace of sweetness. I still am not noticing any of the normal burley harshness or bite, and there is no moisture thus far. Moving on to the final part of the bowl, and the mild complexity and fullness has developed even more. The burn is clean and dry, and the only bite I've noticed has been when I smoked too fast. This has a remarkable number of different flavors, given the fact that it is pure burley. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this blend. While obviously not as full as an English mixture nor as complex as a mature Virginia flake, this is still a refreshing and satisfying smoke. It isn't my favorite style of tobacco, but it is by far the best burley blend I've ever tried. I don't plan to buy a tin of this, but I should have no problems finishing my sample. If you like burleys, I would certainly recommend you try this blend.
