Walgreens Burley and Black

Been updating my reviews with the changing times and new formats we've seen with pipe blends lately. Even P&C is getting into the act, offering more bulk OTCs. Which brings me to WBB (aka Blender's Gold). Now that it's sold in 3.5 oz tins, they're not dripping in sauces or PG. This is a very good smoke if you know how to prep OTC Burley or OTC aromatics. I found airing out overnite then a light packing does the trick without being overly wet or goopy. A tamper or two keeps things in check. It's got the body and feel of Velvet with a light, sweet and nutty flavor. Hints of fruit, vanilla, milk chocolate, coffee, hay and spice (ginger-like). And I have never seen pipe plumes like this. They bellow from my cob thick and white, then disperse and hover into lingering, silky clouds and swirls. Very trippy. The room note is quite nice but different: lemony, walnut-like and possibly with some type of vanilla liquer. Maybe a hint of mocha. I also did some research on the Walgreens private label. This line is made by Sutliff. Primarily burley blends which have been aged up to four years. So you're actually getting top notch leaf at a fraction of the price. Highly reccomended.
