I don't always smoke Burley, but when I do it is this, or Mac Baren Burley. A long time ago in a field of Burley in a pretty Tennessee hollow, should be the way this review should start out. Buying this bulk tobacco new and smoking it close there after may give one the impression that this leaf hasn't been aged at all. I had that feling when I first smoked my first bowl full. I let the pound bag of this age for about eight years. If you can wait that long, you will be greatly rewarded with a most unique, scrumptous nutty Burley mellow flavor not found these days.Stays lit easily and It tastes like the old days. Smells the way my grandads pipe smelled. Reward yourself with some aged X-40. You will want to thank me.

Are you a Burley fan?

Do you like MacBaren Burley blend?

If you answered yes to those two questions,you are going to fall in love with McClelland's X-40!

The tobacco is on the dark side of Brown to medium dark brown.

The chunks actually pack easy and light easy as well. The smoke

is rich and satisfying,lazy,and mellow,and a rather higher

nicotene content than MacBaren Burley blend. The savory taste/flavour

stays the same all the way to the bottom of your bowl. The top

note is hardly noticeable,very restrained,but compliments the

genuine tobacco taste very well.I personally think this is a

much better tobacco than MacBarren Burrley blend. I'll be

purchasing more of this is in 1 lb. bags from now on.
