First, let me admit that I am a burley fan. When I first started on pipes, I thought all burleys were only used in poor-quality, drugstore blends. I rapidly learned that I was wrong; burley has the same spectrum as beef. From greasy, bitter cuts to high-quality filet mignon.
Anyways, when it comes to burleys, I love this stuff. The flakes burn just fine if stuffed directly into the pipe. They smoke slowly and last a very long time.
The taste is reminiscent of a good cigar, in my opinion, only smoother. Like a cigar, if smoked too much, it will leave a film on one's tongue.
When I first opened the tin, I detected a weak molasses odor. Whether this was actual molasses, or simply a by-product of the manufacturing process, I don't know.
The room note is gentle. It definitely is tobacco, but it is not harsh like a cigar. Instead, it can be better described as a "sweet cigarette" odor. it's not an odor which will make people around you smile and compliment your pipe. On the other hand, it is not one which will make your spouse yell "Smoke that damned stuff outside."
All in all, I think this is a good blend for fellow burley lovers.

This has become one of my absolute favorite blends, especially for the first couple of bowls of the day.
Attractive long pressed flakes are packed tightly in the 100g tin (I've never seen a 50g tin). Colors range from the light Burleys through mid-range brown Virginias to almost black.
There isn't much to the tin aroma-- slightly sweet, but also hints of a grassy nose...sort of like fresh mown grass.
The flavor is superb-- gently sweet, slightly nutty and a little grassy. It does seem like there's just a hint of perique in there too, but of that I'm not entirely sure. The flavor is well balanced and smooth in spite of the richness.
I generally don't go for Burley blends, but this one is definitely a keeper. Fantastic stuff!!

Tin Aroma: This has the clean and bright aroma of a virginia flake. It reminds me of Full Virginia Flake in aroma. there is little to no burley scent.
Physical Characteristics: 4" long, wide flakes that come pretty moist. They rub out nicely if allowed to dry out a bit before smoking, but I prefer to fold them over on themselves and roll them up for smoking. I am always taken with how pretty the swirls of different colored tobaccos are in the cross section of this blend. This is, aesthetically, a very pleasing blend. The packing is easier than one would expect from a flake, and the burn is smooth and even, leaving a light grey ash.
Notes: upon first light there is a pleasant amalgamation of virginia and burley flavors. The virginias shrink away pretty quickly though, leaving a very creamy, nutty burley flavor. The stoved virginias lend the burley some heft, which is a charge that is often levelled at burley blends; they lack body. I have always though that what Burley lacked in body, it made up for in cool subtlety, but if you have always thought burley was 'thin', you ought to try this blend and see what it is like. About one third of the way through the bowl, an earthy taste/sensation begins that I can only find a corollary to in cigars. I have not yet encountered another pipe tobacco that develops this attribute, but it would probably make this a good blend for those pipe smokers who come from the ranks of cigar smokers. This cigar-like quality persists for the rest of the smoke. I find this flake to be an excellent hot weather smoke, both indoors and out. I tend not to smoke much of it during the cooler months, but I sure go through it in the summer. This is a high nicotine blend, and can give the unwary quite a little buzz. It will also bite the crap out of you if you are not careful. Do not be fooled by the burley taste and gleefully puff away like a steam train, as you do with your bulk ribbon burley. There is plenty of stoved virginia in here, just waiting for it's chance to bite you.
