Cobblestone - Burley Plug.
The plug's right on the cusp between plug and kake. It's dark brown, has a smell of plenty of Burley, and isn't too damp.
The smoke isn't anywhere near as astringent as something with dark fired can be. The unfired Burley takes the lead, giving a standard nuttiness. This accounts for the prominent flavour. But then comes the dark fired. Yes, it's smoky, but although there's the expected smokiness, any ''harshness'' isn't present. The Virginia takes the final place. A slight grassiness, hay, but it isn't a major player. It burns without fault, producing a bite-free smoke.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: not too bad.
Burley Plug? Before my first bowl had come to an end I'd ordered more to cellar! Highly recommended:
Four stars.

This one completely surprised me as a terrific possibly destined to be all-time favorite. Someone who loves burley and understands what there is to love about it is behind this one. I'm saying that as if I know but if you've ever purchased a random Burley mixture and forgotten it a day or two later you will know what I mean. Some care and thought went into this and while it is a pretty simple mixture of burley, kentucky and virginia the end result, for me, was pure heaven. There is a much higher quality burley here than the usual Sutliff offerings. I do pick out a familiar white burley in the mix but that's just a comforting whisper of flavor compared to the overall effect of the darker burley and virginia.
Absolutely no tongue bite whatsoever and no goopy added flavoring. Great, real, wholesome tobacco flavor.
I was impressed by the Cobblestone Hiking burley but this is an even better kept secret and of much higher quality. Rises to the level of being a cousin to an Ernie Q burley mixture.
