If I was a child hiding out behind the shed and trying out Grandpa's pipe for the first time, this would be the ideal mix. This was a lot like smoking steam...the flavor was just nonexistent. The only reason I'm "somewhat recommending" this is the wonderful room-note. It makes great incense but a lousy smoke!

This was my first pipe tobacco, and as such I have sentimental memories of it. It was a great first smoke, simply because it let me experiment with my packing technique, my smoking pace and any number of other skills that needed to be honed and it never left me with tongue bite. My only complaint is that it's very run of the mill, and now that I've experimented with so many other wonderful blends, I find it highly unlikely that I will ever come back to Burley Light. While it's great for a beginner, it's very easy to out grow this blend.

This is an extremely mild tobacco. It has an aroma of Cake.
There is no depth to this tobacco, no real taste. It's just a basic burly blend. I usually give this to first time pipe smokers. I have yet to have it bite, even when smoked hot.

No bite...not much to taste....not much else to say. Might use it for blending.

I remember my Father's reaction to this blend's name, '. . without a bite, that means it does.' He was right. This bit me, because I was drawing very hard in search of flavor and nicotine; two things this burley has none of. This blend is burley waiting for a casing. From this and Prince Albert, I learned I don't have much lust for straight burley. It is good for what it is, though.(maybe a good blender burley) Just not for me.
Side note. . I bought at the same time BLWB and a couple oz.'s of Tinderbox's Nut and Honey. Seems to me to be BLWB with a fairly strong, not too sweet nut flavor. it's rather good as aromatics go, if weak. I mention this here because I don't see it listed anywhere under T-box or Lane. happy smoke---

This would be a great smoke for someone who wants something plain that tastes and smells great without flavoring additives. I let it air dry a bit before smoking and had no issues with wet-ness after that. Easy to light and keep lit, it is a nice mild "standby" when you want something light but you're not sure what. Since I'm becoming less of an aromatic fan with each passing blend, I blended this (about 60/40) with a vanilla cavendish that I would never again smoke "plain" and the result was wonderful.
