Uhle's Blend 255
(2.88)
Cube cut for long and cool smoking ... excellent aroma ... just a little on the sweet side. This blend was created in 1937, has never changed, and is right up there as a best seller.
Notes: The current description in Uhle's menu and at their website reads, "Slow-burning, this lighter aromatic smokes earthy with a subtle hint of licorice. Ingredients: Cube-cut burley with Cavendish."

The burleys are fairly nutty, a bit toasty, with some earth and molasses. The cavendish adds a toasty light citrus and earth with a few blades of grass in a support role. The lightly floral licorice and sugar toppings are mildly applied as they work in concert to make a harmonious, very consistent, and smooth taste with a light creaminess. I didn’t get much soap as some reviewers noted. Burns slow as cube cuts often will, and requires some relights. Leaves little moisture in the bowl. Has no harsh, dull or weak spots and won’t bite. The nic-hit is mild. The after taste pleasantly lingers and the room note is the same. An easy going all day smoke that seems to pick up a little more flavor as you go along. Two and half stars mostly because it doesn't quite have the flavor depth that a three star blend should.

The Burley lends cocoa, earth, and a little nut. The Cavendish offers a little citrus and toast. The licorice topping is just a little stronger than I prefer, but if you really like licorice you will probably like this level. There's a fair amount of sweetness. Had the same burn issues that I had with Perfection Plug Burley so I lightly crushed the cubes after drying and got a near perfect burn. I recommend doing that if you have trouble with it. A quality blend, but not to my taste.
Mild to medium in body and taste. Flavoring is mild.

Someone brought a bag of 255 to our first pipe club meetup here in Milwaukee, so being the social dude I am, I packed a bowl and gave it a whirl. It was sweeter than the other Uhle's cube cut I had (300), so it appealed more to my palette.
It had a good nutty smoke to chomp on, but still fell someplace between not sweet enough, nor bold and rich enough, to poke it's head above the pack.

This blend was a little too "OLD TIMEY" for me. Soapy and not so good. It was burley with licorice and Lake Land essence. I took a pass.

I taste soap. Reminds me of Sutclife Mixture 79. I enjoy UHLE Blend 300 better. UHLE Blend 71 is their best.

I really wanted to love this blend. This is an old time blend from the 1930's and very popular today. It is high quality leaf mostly burley and smells wonderful. The blend is not to moist and perfect for me. The flavor of the tobacco upon lighting is completely over powered by a soapy kind of flavor which I dislike totally. That flavor also stayed in one of my pipes for many bowls there after, so be warned. Must be a great tobac for some, but I can't even finish the 2oz bag.
