pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Butternut Burley

I love Burley! If you like aromatics you will love this! If you aren't a fan of aromatics you probably will love this, too. This stuff absolutely will not bite. It comes a bit moist and does better when dried out a bit. The flavor is good, the room note exceptional. This is my inside smoke. I love it.

I smoke many blends, aromatic and nonaromatic alike. This is an excellent aromatic at a great price. Burns to a fine ash and does not bite. A good all day smoke with a pleasant aroma. Much better (imho) than the Lane offerings to which it is compared. Highly recommended especially for beginners.

Alright, I'll begin by saying that I do not normally smoke aromatics. I'm a Latakia man, and don't need anything "artificial" with my smoke. Just give me a good English or Balkan, and leave me alone for an hour or so. That said, let me state that Butternut Burley is one of my favorite blends. From pouch to bottom of bowl, it consistently surpasses my every expectation. It is one FINE Burley. There are two traits of this tobacco which I really appreciate, in addition to its' wonderful flavor: 1). The room note is outstanding. This is the tobacco I reach for when I am going to be around others. It's a rare day when I light it up in public and don't receive a compliment. "Wow, what IS that ?!? It sure smells GOOD" !! or "That smells wonderful. It reminds me of my grandpa (or uncle, or dad, or...). I really miss the smell of a pipe...". 2). This tobacco is so easy to smoke that it almost packs the bowl for you and lights itself. Fast, slow, or anywhere in between, it always delivers a cool, dry smoke, and stays lit all the way through the bowl. Because of the above characteristics, I often smoke this blend when I am going to be around others and engaged in doing something that keeps me from focusing 100% on my pipe, like playing golf or fishing. Even if you don't normally like aromatics, I would recommend this blend to you. Four stars, unhesitatingly.

P.S. I should mention that given its' price, Butternut Burley is one of the best values in all of briardom.

Well-behaved aromatic with lovely, natural flavor and quality components.

Better than most other burley blends I've tried. Unlike the raisiny Wilke Nut Brown Burley, this doesn't razor the tongue or palate. It's a bit butterscotchy, smooth and creamy and light for a dressed aromatic. Not a regular, but something for when sweet revenge is in order.

One week later: better than I thought. Really enjoying this stuff; a very fine burley with a pleasing bouquet. I'm improving my rating on this one.

Three of five stars

A very good aromatic. I will purchase it again in the future. One taste,one rate of burn, and always well behaved. It doesn't bite and satisfies a sweet tooth nicely. Not just a vanilla cased goopy mixture. It actually has a nutty quality to it.This has no buttery taste and no buttery mouthfeel.It is just a very pleasing and quality aromatic. It could almost be a Pipeworks at Wilke mixture. It is that good. Try it for a change.

Having only entered into the world of pipe smoking (yes, virgin smoker here at the prime age of 48, no cigarette or cigar had ever crossed my lips), I read the reviews posted here, in search of a mild tobacco. After a two dozen pipefills and countless, languid puffs, I have crossed the threshold and have taken those first inquisitive steps into the world of Burley.

I have since tried two other Burely blends from other makers and it is Butternut Burley that I always return to. It provides the smoking experience that satisfies this mans? palate: soft flavouring, nuanced with glimpses of organic fields under a mid-west October sun and toasted nut; it?s a relaxing smoke, a tobacco that mellows an active mind and wraps you in organic comfort. I highly recommend it to those just starting out as it smokes very gently and it offers a sweet, non-offensive room note. My Lady Love enjoys a puff herself, often following up with a blissful kiss. I?ve just placed another order from pipesandcigars.com (Look under Bulk Tobacco/Scotty?s blends). To me, this is like comfort food cooked in briar.

At first, I really thought this was a Lane bulk, or combination of Lane bulks, because of the taste. It is very similar in taste and strength to 1q or rlp6, but then one begins to notice a more natural burley smoke, with similarities to some other highly regarded Burley blends, with a nutty, buttery taste, and a well defined "burley zone".

It's not all burley I don't think, I can see a very dark or black component that must be Cavendish (or burley cavendish). However, for me, the strength just isn't enough, but I can see a lot of people liking this for many reasons: lack of bite, aroma, sweetness, and excellent burning qualities for an aromatic (better than the mentioned Lane bulks). It's an aromatic but not a powerfully cased one. It's not totally punching my ticket yet but I do think I'll keep it on hand.

This a great burley blend when I open the pouch I smell butternut squash and pumkinbread when I light this baby up. The wife likes the smell and the room note is very pleasant. Pipe and cigars is hitting homeruns with their blends , I look forward to trying more recipes.
