This is another nice staple from the House of Windsor. According to the reviewer in a recent P&T magazine (William Serad), Model was at one time the most popular tobacco in the United States. Of course, that was a long time ago and there is more elegant stuff around these days. Still, my nostalgic ride with this Burley blend was pleasant.
Model actually started out with more punch than it finished with. Upon opening the tin I was greeted by a pleasant, light and definately "tobacco" smell. At the match, the flavor threw its hardest punch. Very much a "tobacco" taste, and my tongue never did detect any topping. It must be somewhat cased though because my wife said the room note was pleasant.
I would not define the flavor as sweet, per se, but it certainly never turned bitter. The taste lightened up as I progressed down the bowl and I did not get the heavy hit of nicotine that I prefer. Still, it was tasty and the second bowl right after the first one settled my nicotine craving to some extent.
I can see where this one is going to be a hit with the all day puffer crowd. No bite whatsoever. Nostalgia never tasted better.

In the tin, the aroma of this thin, rubbed, cavendish-cut leaf is the common burley vegetativeness along with a treacly note.
The leaf seems to be of lighter burley and darker, ruddier burley which is lightly sweetened; methinks with molasses. In fact, there was a few splotches of a dark residue at the bottom of the tin which must be the remnants of the syrup. The burley is of fine quality with a rich tang, full earthy aroma which is nicely enhanced by the sweet sauce.
Model is a fantastic all-day, autopilot smoke which neither dazzles nor disappoints and testifies that fine ingredients which are simply prepared can have timeless appeal. This went best in a narrow to medium gauge chamber.

The tin aroma is a fine nutty/sweet burley. At least initially, the flavor is that of a good burley in an almost cube cut. Further down in the bowl, the taste turns somewhat ashy and a little harsh. Not bad, but I have had better (and probably more expensive!) straight burley.

I found Model to be too bland for a main event. It is more like a "B" movie feature. A good smoke for a yardwork puffer. Or if you find it needs punched up, try crumbling about 10% McClelland 2015 or equivalent. Makes it closer to an "A" picture.

American Burley. No bells and whistles just tobacco. Very mild. It's good but I like more kick. My father likes this tobacco but he's a cigarette smoker. He rubs it out and rolls it up! Another no B.S. blend from the House of Windsor.

When I opened the pouch for this tobacco I was greeted with typical drug store burley, ala velvet or half-n-half. The outlook was not good. I set it back down and forgot about it for a couple of days. While waiting for my wife in the parking lot of the supermarket I dug around my truck and found it hiding in the corner of the passenger seat. I pulled out my trusty corn cob and gave it hell. I have to say- this is what all of those other drug store burleys are trying to be! The taste was nutty and simple, a delight all the way through. I got no bite, but found it tasted better when smoked nice and slow. I think I found another burley winner especially next summer during the heat.
