"Out of all the burley joints in the world, I had to find you." This is without question, IMO, the finest burley blend ever. This blend has a wonderful pouch aroma, and the taste is even better, with a wonderfully nutty, smooth taste, in this slow burning tobacco. This has replaced Barbary Coast in my daily routine, as it has more of a natural burley taste without the brandy. If you enjoy a burley, this is the one to try. You will not be disappointed. This blend is a must have for me.

Appearance: A mixture of ribbon cut and small cubes. Color is a fairly uniform medium brown.
Aroma: Obviously a Burley, but I detect a trace of something else. It?s either a minute quantity of a sweet Oriental (Basma?), or a bit of Deer Tongue.
Packing: Packs easily into most pipes with no problem. The combination of ribbons and small cubes pack with just a light touch on the top.
Lighting: Lights easily and starts burning nicely. Sometimes no charring light.
Initial flavor: POW, the Burley here is superbly tasty. The characteristic nutty flavor is quite intense, and there is cosiderable body to the smoke.
Mid-bowl: Maintains a spontaneous burn, just breathe with the pipe. Stays cool and flavorful, with slight variations in the flavor. Needs to be tamped only lightly. This could be a great tobacco for a smoking contest.
Finish: Nice right to the end. Just a slight increase in strength. Leaves a clean gray ash.
Summary: This is the ?cream of the crop? of Burleys. Good anytime of day or night. Even a good change of pace for the Latakia guys. Call today and get some, you won?t regret it.

I was delighted to see that my review of NBB years ago led MShelor to this top-flight Burley blend. I used to buy it at the old Wilke store on Madison Avenue, from the beloved sisters, many more years ago than I'd like to count. And apart from its quality what impresses me is its consistency. It is also a remarkably subtle burley blend, changing flavor and richness through the smoke. Four stars, for sure.
