X-60 is a high quality burley that has a maple flavoring that gives it a distinct and delicious flavor. It's a broad cut that starts out with a fairly good amount of sweetness that fades as the bowl is smoked until it is gone at just past 1/2 bowl, leaving a tasty burley nutty flavor. I find that I enjoy this tobacco especially well in the morning.
As far as burn and lighting, X-60 is better than average for an aromatic and about equal to an average non-aromatic. Like most moist tobaccos, it responds best to a slightly lighter than normal pack.
X-60 is a fairly economic tobacco. It is also sold by many tobacco shops under another name. Just For Him tobacco shop in Springfield, MO calls it Privateer. In their favor, it should be said that they sell it for $19.95/lb., better than any on-line vendor I've been able to find that sells it under the McC X-60 label.
Scores for X-60; taste- 16 out of 20; lighting and burn- 7 of 10; value- 8 of 10. That makes a total of 31 points and a high *** for X-60.

This may not be the best burley around (P&W Nut brown burley is probably the best) but it comes close. The maple casing sweetens the otherwise sharp edges of the tobacco, but not so much to completely cover the burley taste. If smoked slowly it never becomes bitter or wet and always smokes cool. A nice tobacco to be smoked in summer.

This burley is best left for blending. I love a great burley but, if it is to be smoked alone, I believe that it should be dark-fired and strong as an ox. (My favorite is dark Kentucky for Gawith&Hoggart.) This burley is rather mild and has a wonderful essence that is fantastic when blended with 35-40% Syrian Latakia or 20-25% perique. The complexity of Syrian Latakia works well with the maple scent to yeild an almost floral texture from the latakia. When blended with perique, an aged sweetness is achieved that gives off whisps of spiced raisins and mild sangria. I love this blend as well as blend #x-40 when mixed with Syrian Latakia or perique. When used as a base this burley can give smokers an "old-style" aromatic result, that is far from the heavily cased, perfumed garbage that many pass off as aromatic.
