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.

Butternut Burley from Pipesandcigars.com is a mild and sweet tobacco with no tongue bite. I found Butternut Burley to light easily with no gurgle. In my opinion its one of the best aromatics around

This is a sweet, reasonably full-tasting aromatic that I enjoy in the morning. But after nearly a year of smoking it on a regular basis, I seem to go to this less often. It just seems too predictable, like having the same meal day after day-- which gets... well... boring. I do not have this reaction with other blends I smoke on a regular basis, even similar ones like Lanes LL-7.
Still, BB is one of the best sweet aromatics around.

This is a decent heavily cased, cavendish-based, goopy aromatic. And it IS goopy and heavily cased. It will leave a sticky residue in your pipe and a sticky feeling on your fingers. But it beats the hell out of Captain Black and is cheap to boot. So if vanilla-flavored aromatics are your thing, give this one a try.

Best burley I have ever experienced. When someone says "I'm thinking about trying the pipe, what tobacco would you suggest I try." This will be the blend I recommend. Deserves a better name, like Back Porch.

One of the better burning aromatics to be found, with a wonderful buttery flavor that can be smoked all day. The highest marks for cost, taste and quality to this one, with an added bonus of it being a wonderful tobacco to break a pipe in with (burley) Grab the largest bowl You can and fire this aromatic up (that acts nothing like an aromatic) You won't be disapointed.

I second all the good reviews below. Packs well, stays lit and is very smooth. No bite even when puffed hard. I am adding this to my standard rotation. And at a price that is very nice.

If I had started with this tobacco thirty years ago when I first began attempting to become a pipe smoker, I would have fell in love with the briar from the first puff. I think this is one of the finest burleys I've smoked and a high recommendation for this one for beginners.
Not that Butternut Burley wouldn't be an absolute pleasure for the old timers out there--it would--but it has NO bite, stays lit, and smells like a pipe tobacco is supposed to smell, the ultimate in a good start for those lighting their first pipe.
My wife loves the room note and says, "You haven't smoked that one I like in awhile," every time I go a few nights without a bowl of this lovely blend. So if you are a burley smoker, try this one. I don't think you'll be sorry.

I love Burley and this blend is the only cased burley I have ever truly enjoyed. The intense buttery flavor really enhances the burely's sweetness and nuttiness. The big thing for me is that even though this is cased with somekind of "butter" the burley's natural flavor comes through. This blend has no tounge bite and is very well behaved in all size pipes, packs and lights easy and burns slow, cool, even and clean to the bottom of the bowl into a fine gray ash.
Burley fanciers will love this one. Even those who don't care for burely may like this fine blend. At bulk prices, this is a real treat in all aspects!

Pleasant smoke. Butternut present but not overpowering. Burns great this Burley! However, sometimes a little hot if you don’t pay attention. No moisture to speak of in this tobacco. It’s consistently good to the bottom of the bowl. No bite detected. Decent roommate note.

This was my second non-aromatic to try. It's not bad, but it makes me appreciate aromatics. I've also tried Tinderbox's 'Wilshire' (aka Lane's 1Q), and I'd agree with the description, that they are similar, and if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick this one. Not my favorite but it is a pleasant smoke. I will agree you can't make this one bite, no matter how fast you smoke it. The Tin Description listed above is a pretty accurate evaluation.
