At first glance, it seemed to be some well aged, slightly oily leaf, mahongany in colour. Very little noticable casing and a subdued aroma, somehwat like the pages of an old book.
I had high hopes for this blend, as I seem to enjoy burley in many of the blends in the rotation. However, I was disappointed in the bland, colourless flavour and aroma. It tasted like smoking some unidentified cellulose found by the roadside-- maybe a shard of an old wagon wheel. Maybe it was my particular tin, but I can not recommend this as blend to seek out.

Here is another example of a burley product that is just not flavored enough. A flavored flake of burley with a touch of dark fired leaf, a classic "Navy" tobacco in ingredients and presentation. The flavor though really is very flat. The dark fired leaf can be sensed in smell and slightly in the smoke but other than that extremely bland. Despite this it seems to be rather adequately cased (possibly with molasses)to the degree it impedes the burn a little. To the point this would be much better if the flavoring was made more concentrated but used less of with more sweetness to round out the flavor. As it stands I just can't enjoy this tobacco.

This tobacco looks excellent. I love most burley blends. It has historical pedigree. Most reviewers I listen to like it. So I should be all about this stuff, right? Dead wrong for one it was too strong for me, and second too bland. After smoking a bowl of this I was woozy and sweating... very unpleasent. I really think that the problem must be me. A fellow pipe smoker told me once he could not smoke certain danish tin blends for something was added to those blends that made him ill. I figure the same must be with ES and me.
Dizziness aside the taste did lil for me. I'll admit I like burley that clunks my tastes buds on their lil heads with "nuttiness", and could never detect any with this. I am too wary try to nurse it for it just is not meant to be.

This blend simply proves to me that I'm not really a Burley smoker (unless you're talking Barbary Coast by GL Pease.) I love the cut and burning characteristics of these beautiful flakes, and appreciate the mild, nutty flavour and lack of bite. Ultimately, though, I find this tobacco a little too monochromatic to keep my interest, and a little raw. I sometimes get a significant biter aftertaste as well. Just not my cup of tea. If you like Burley, you'll probably love this stuff.
