Heine's Blend has been on my tobacco radar for years, but is one that I did not try until today. Now I am sorry that I waited so long.
This blend is described above as having a "cube cut" and so I expected to see something akin to Cornell & Diehl's Crooner (No. 104) when I opened the sturdy 14 oz. plastic container. Instead, I was greeted by a mostly dark, gently fragrant, chunky tobacco that has more of what I would describe as a "rough cut."
It was moist, but did not leave my fingers sticky when I pinched some between them. Its aroma in the container seemed almost subtle, really noticable only when I placed my nose a few inches above it. To me the smell was reminiscent of Fig Newton cookies.
Like most aromatic tobaccos this one would benefit from some drying, as initially I had a hard time keeping it lit after loading my pipe (a small briar billard that I use for testing new tobaccos) directly from the container. However, having said that, I was pleased by the fact that there was no "gurgle" in my initial bowl. Further, a pipe-cleaner applied after I dumped the dark gray ash (with almost no dottle) showed a surprisingly small amount of tar.
The smoke was blue-white and creamy, and try as I might I could not induce this blend to bite. Its taste was lightly sweet and pleasant, and left no coating on my tongue. The room note was comforting: slightly spicy, warm, and inviting.
This is a very pleasant easy-to-smoke blend that helped me to recall why I became a pipe-smoker in the first place, and I recommend it.

I remember my Dad buying this blend in the late 60's. This was his everyday turn to. You know, the kind of tobacco that you grab when you just need to get a bowl going to do yardwork or putter around the house. Since the publication of recent articles on the "Old Time" tobacco blends it seems that many of us are reaquainting ourselves with our pipesmoking roots. This one of the first blends that I smoked when I began to pickup my Dad's pipes to try. It reminds me of LJ Peretti's BPC which is a Burley Plug type of tobacco. Nothing Great here, just a Burley Plug, slightly nutty, a tinge sweet. Good for a change of pace, nothing more, nothing less. Burns clean, a puttering around the house mindlessly smoke.

I purchased a tub of this about 5 yrs ago as at the time, it was the only option. Hearing that it was the same base as Mixture 79, I was intrigued. I did not like the topping of Mixture 79, but rather enjoyed it once most of the topping flashed 2/3 through the bowl.
Heine's did not disappoint. It also did not rock my world, but it is an enjoyable Burley. It is, in character, not unlike Carter Hall, Prince Albert, SWR, et al. essentially an American OTC Burley type blend. It packs and smokes easy. It does not bite. It is exactly what one should expect from any of these types of blends. I don't think it is as good as SWR or CH, so I am keeping it at 3 stars, but this is subjective. It could easily rate four stars to someone else's taste buds.

Codger burley at its finest. Multiple cuts in this blend. Fruity, deer younger flavor which does not mask or cloy the nutty sweet burley flavor. Can’t say much that hasn’t been said about this fine Blend. Been around for decades and still going strong. Solid everyday , all day smoke for many. Solid 3 here on the creek!

At first glance I was not impressed with this blend but I realize it does have something going for it as a Burley contender even against more premiums burley tobaccos. The tobacco smelled almost a bit mossy or earthy along with a typical straight forward cased burley tobacco. It's thick chunks of pliable broken dark brown cake along with some lighter beige leaf which maybe just white burley or some inept virgina flakes which it could probably do without. There is a particular slight sweetness in the aroma that may be trying to mimic coumarin but lags behind. The flavor has that singular woody quality which is not my favorite but is found in other Burley tobaccos like Sutliff's Edgeworth match and in the more premium Mac Baren HH Burley Flake. Given a choice, I'm not sure I would prefer this over the Edgeworth match but I would over Mac Baren Burley Flake so, it's a viable alternative for those who like those blends. Probably better than any other similar traditional domestic burley sold in a tub.
