This is by no means the best burley blend I've ever tried, but it is the most unusual. It's a burley that thinks its a Va. It must be smoked slowly or it will bite and the flavor will not be very noticeable. It packs and burns well due to the cube cut. The nicotine level is moderate for a burley blend and it doesn't get harsh towards the bottom. I don't know why people describe this and other burley blends as nutty; it tastes like tobacco to me! Despite it's high quality, I didn't get much flavor out of this blend, so it really didn't hold my interest. Apparently I like my burley spiced with other tobaccos rather than just straight burley like this. If you like very delicate tobaccos, you will enjoy this, but for full flavor, Wilke offers much better burley blends than this.
Update 5/31/2008 - This blend has been discontinued by Wilke. I find Peretti 333 to be very similar and more interesting due to the inclusion of some matured VA.

I had high hope for this blend, alas it was not to be. Well made of high grade tabacco. However nothing special here. Scotty's Butter Nut Burley is much better

NBB has a delicious aroma and is asthetically pleasing to look at. This has enough broadcut in it to burn real slow and cool which is good, because this has to be sipped very slow or it will bite. The flavor is raisiney and of maple syrup and gingerbread with a toasty very subtle nutty undertone. The only thing I did not like about NBB is that I expected something much better after reading the reviews here. I never got a consistant flavor out of it through the entire 8 ounces I ordered. While it is a good burley, its just not good enough to justify its high pricetag. 2 out of 4.

This is indeed great burley. Burley lovers really should give this a try. I enjoy burley from time-to-time, and this is one of the best pure burleys I have found. The people at the store are friendly, too! As indicated from others, if you are gentle with this tobacco, you can avoid the bitter tendencies, and have a more rewarding experience.

A fine natural Burley! Just the right amount of nutty natural sweetness. A mild cool smoke!

This is not a bad smoke by any means, just a johnny-one-note. The taste is typical of a good burley, but from the first puff to the last, there is no subtlety. To me there is no nuttiness. I enjoy blended tobacco, aromatic or not, and even though the blender says this includes Virginia and Turkish, I taste nothing beyond the burley. It smokes well, doesn't bite although the smoke is quite warm in the mouth, gives off ample smoke and continues to burn with no relights down to a very fine ash perfect for building cakes. But, I prefer more variety in flavor. I will smoke all of my 8 ounces, but when it's gone it will not be missed.
