pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Butternut Burley
(3.19)
Scotty's Butternut Burley is faintly reminiscent of Lane's 1Q or RLP-6 aromatic offerings, yet in a class all its own. Upon first lighting up, your initial surprise will be the complete lack of tongue bite; this holds true consistently throughout the bowl, as this tobacco has the least tongue bite of any aromatic going. This blend packs easily, lights readily, and simply refuses to go out. It burns completely to a fine, white ash, leaving minimal dottle to contend with in the bottom of the bowl. How is it for taste? Imagine a blend of warm butter with just a hint of vanilla and honey, then add sweet nutty overtones to round out the flavor. After the bowl is done, expect a pleasant lingering sensation on your palate with no bitterness at all. Mild enough to be an all-day smoke, Butternut Burley leaves a pleasant room note sure to be a hit even with the non-smokers in the crowd. Scotty's Butternut Burley is the perfect tobacco to introduce a beginning pipe smoker to the fine art, and is sure to be a favorite of seasoned veterans as well.

Good stuff! It tastes as advertised and burns smoothly with a great room note. To me, burley's mildness has always made the best base for an aromatic, and this blend is a case in point. This is an interesting smoke that is definitely a recommended try. The blend does suffer from a little too much moisture and a bit of tonguebite, common in many aromatics.

There are not enough O's in smooth to describe this tabak! The aroma from the pouch when opened did say butterscotch, but not nearly as heavy as Trout Stream.
BB loads easily and fires up with no hassles and smoked dry all the way down without having to relight and also leaves a fine white/grey ash.
One thing I have not noticed is it becomming bitter toward the end of the bowl as a couple of reviewers have mentioned.
No tongue-bite to this tabak what so ever! A great all day smoke and has a little nicotine kick as well. It is now definately in my regular rotation.

Butternut Burley.02/03/07. No tongue bite here and nothing offensive in anyway,except for a bitterish taste if you smoke the bowl "To far down" Apart from that,it was easy to light and it stayed lit without alot of drama.Next to no goop and a pretty clean cut ash at bowls end. If your a new pipe smoker or an experienced pipester,give it a go as you'll most likely love or like it. Burley lovers are bound to love it,as its very clean cut.

I bought BB based on all the positive reviews. I was not disappointed. It smells great in the bag, burns with no issues and has a pleasant room note. Mild tongue bite if you puff too aggressively. Nice mild flavoring but you can still taste the Burley. My favorite Pipes and Cigars tobacco so far.

Ok- So I don't really like aromatics...and I don't like mild tobaccos much (flavor- not the nicotine..If it has big flavor- nicotine can be mild- The reverse is not true)....Reading the reviews this is aromatic and mild....So why did I order it..? Got me... BUT BOY AM I GLAD I DID....Didn't expect to find a blend I now know I have to have around at all times. This is a top 3 desert island smoke... Got it kinda moist...Made the mistake of trying it too soon- Bit me...D#$n! I hate that. Took a more zen perspective and let the next one dry out over night.... Buttery, and maybe scotchy? Nutty burley comes through..If this was a food item, it would be located in one of those Gourmet nut kiosks in the mall. Best in a cob. I love the stuff. A wonderful surprise...Not through my 2 oz sample- just ordered 8 oz for $16.00 plus change (including shipping) a TOTAL bargain. Praying Scotty doesn't start charging what other blenders charge for blends not as good. ***Update- The unfortunate truth though, is this gets old.Sad but true. Its good, but Monotone. Has its place....

I am not going to preface this review by saying I only Smoke English Tobaccos from a secret blend developed by Willaim Shakespeare and aged in a secret vault in Buckingham Palace, costing 300 bucks an ounce. Instead I am going to say I LIKE all different types of GOOD tobaccos. (notice the word good)
So getting this of my chest... This is a good all day smoke, No bite, great for the beginning piper or to just to relax with for the rest of us. on opening the bag you will see a ribbon cut burley with a whiff of butterscotch not overwhelming but just enough to whit your appetite. upon lighting you will taste what you have been only smelling untill your light , still not overpowering the delicious taste of quality burley all the way to the bottom. Not as others said a clone, but in my opinion a stand alone blend!
The room note is very pleasent and it lights well and stays lit . If you like your burleys, I believe you will not be disapointed in this one. so give old Bill Shakespeare's blends as well as your wallet a rest and light up a bowlfull of Butternut Burley...A 3 star plus
hoo-boy

I have enjoyed 2 of Russ Ouellette's Virginia/Perique blends for the last year or so and after reading the rather large number of posts praising this blend in ASP, I decided to give it a try.
Of course most Burley is sold in the form of highly cased blends that in most cases allows little if any tobacco flavor to be detected. Although this blend is cased (I smelled something similar to butterscotch when I first opened the bag) it is flavored only to the point the removes most of the bitterness and bite that is typically associated with Burley, yet lets the flavor of the tobacco come to the surface.
I've smoked several Burley blends in the past, but this one reaches closer to the "middle ground" between overflavoring and a Burley that will leave you with a little calling card the next morning. For anyone fond of Burley, or those just interested in a very good tasting smoke, this one is an excellent one to try.

I can't resist so-called house blends and, after reading previous reviews of this tobacco, I convinced myself to order a batch. Opening the container, one is greeted with a nice butterscotch (caramel?) aroma that neither overwhelms nor suggests the beginnings of a wet, goopy smoke. It lights easily...re-lights seldom required. Perfect moisture content, little or no bite, fine tasting burley, and an ideal light aromatic room note. As others have commented, it is a perfect all-day smoke. As soon as I suck the life out of this stuff, I will try some of the other blends created by pipesandcigars.com

I have to disagree with the description of this blend as it is nothing like Lane's RLP-6 or 1-Q. This blend uses a higher grade of tobacco and has a taste entirely it's own.
Upon lighting and throughout the first 1/4 to 1/2 of the bowl, the flavoring used in this blend stays apparent. Some say it is of butterscotch. As the bowl progresses, the nuttiness of the burley comes through, eventually being the predominant flavor while staying pleasantly sweet. The tobacco does in fact burn to a fine ash and seldom requires a relight if properly packed.
If you're one of those that like to smoke numerous bowls during the course of a day but can't seem to find a blend that truly doesn't bite, this is your blend. I've yet to find another tobacco with less tendency to bite.
At less than $20.00 a pound plus shipping, you cannot go wrong with this fine creation by Habana Premium.

When I opened the box from www.pipesandcigars.com I was basically knocked down by the aroma Butternut Burley. Needless to say, I couldn?t wait to throw some into a pipe and light up.
Butternut Burley is a wonderful aromatic burley blend that doesn?t bite your tongue or overwhelm you on any level. When you open the container you are greeted with strands of some of the best tobacco that will be in your selection.
When loading the pipe you can load it tight or loose, it really doesn?t matter with this blend. The first half of the bowl is just as good as the last half. The blend really doesn?t change at all during the smoke; it?s pleasant all the way.
If you are use to getting dirty looks from people that hate the aroma of your usual blend, try smoking this out in public. . . . they?ll love it.
