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.

This review is based on a 50g pouch of the stuff that is produced under the same name in France. The name and tin description are the same only the pouch is white instead of blue.
My girlfriend brought 10-15 pouches/tins of different kinds of tobacco from her last trip to Paris, this was among them.
I can't smoke this stuff. I've tried, but it feels like sucking molten lava with a straw. The aroma in the pouch is the usual cheap chemical they coat these kinds of tobaccos with. Smoking it I can't get any taste since it burns my mouth like hell. The only smell I can get from the smoke is of burned sugar.
There's a funny pattern appearing in European tobacco shops, whenever you ask for a non-aromatic blend they'll suggest the worst most tasteless aromatic they can think of. I'd rather smoke those heavily cased vanilla/cherry/plum macbaren/stanwell/skandinaviks than stuff like this.
Since I don't have any friends that smoke a pipe I've to throw away lots of tobacco :(.

Second edit: Tried yet another pouch of this. I found this one so bland after trying three bowls that I could not finish the pouch without adding some other tobaccos to it. I will not buy more. Maybe you could roll some cigarettes with this stuff but I don't want it in my pipe anymore.
Blends should be consistant. When I buy something I want to know it will taste like the last one I bought. This will be my last edit of this stuff because I'm not going to buy anymore of it.
