John Middleton, Inc Kentucky Club
(2.86)
Original Kentucky Club pipe mixture. The label on the tin reads as follows: "White Burley - recognized as a better tobacco since 1867 - makes Kentucky Club the smooth, mild, satisfying pipe smoking brand with the grand aroma. An aromatic that you, and the family too, will enjoy.
"Kentucky Club's White Burley blend never tires your taste. Its delightful flavor, enjoyable taste, satisfying mildness, and grand aroma give you the greatest enjoyment in pipe smoking."
Notes: Kentucky Club was introduced in 1934 by Penn Tobacco Company of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. In 1943 The Bloch Bros. Tobacco Co. of Wheeling, West Virginia bought the company. In 1969 it was purchased by general cigar. In the late 80’s it was purchased by John Middleton Inc. of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, where it was last blended.

The second of the JM Burley blends I tried ,the first being CH. This was very close to the same as CH. I like the cut on CH better, however, there is nothing wrong with the cube cut. I picked up a whole tub of this for 18.00. Here in Michigan with tax on tobacco being one of the higher in the US that is not bad at all only about 4 dollars more than the lowest internet price I found. Again it burned dry with little bite. Good stuff. Anyone try the Aromatic version?

This is a grand old timer tobacco, and you will see it featured in old ads if you like looking at such things. Middleton Tobacco, which is so good at getting Prince Albert into almost everywhere that sells pipe tobacco, really seems to drop the ball on this one. I agree with the above reviews that it is way too hard to find. This is really a better smoke then some of their other products with a better pure tobacco taste. This is a easy smoke for those who like burley to enjoy. Of course if it was more available you would get more of the bad reviews from people trying it who do not like this sort of old time American tobacco. This burns better then most tobaccos usually requiring just one light. It is a pleasure to smoke it while driving or working on something. It is also a pleasure to smoke at any time.

Burley from Tennessee and Kentucky,make up this tobacco. I do not however believe there is any Virginia leaf here. This tobacco has a light sweetner but doesn't harm the taste at all,and seems very pleasent. It is true burley flavor. Not the cream of the crop in burleys but still of fair quality. Crimp/cube cut, it packs easy and light easy. Stays lit, and is a simple old timey burley smoke.Enjoy this in a corn cop pipe for best results.
