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.

After all the "Butternut Burley" hype, I decided to order a few ounces to see what it was all about. I just don't get it! It's just boring. First 1/4 of bowl was enjoyable because it was so different. Very light in flavor, but I could taste the butter/pecan flavor. It isn't bad flavor, just way to mild for my tastes. Almost so mild that it is boring. I would recommend and have sent this blend to new smokers, but do not recommend to the semi-seasoned piper. At best this is a very early morning smoke, with an extremely light cup of coffee!
To the credit of this blend, It did not bite at all! I tried to get it to bite... nothing! Blend may serve as a base for a personal hybrid blend. However if you like mild blends, not much to them, this is your blend.

The good news: Burns great and leaves a pretty decent smelling room note. The bad news: two words flat and boring. If you are a fan of burleys then give it a shot and see for yourself. The taste is somewhat almond/nutty/vanilla and maybe a hint of toffee. All in all a very mild blend that didn't do anything for me and lacks any substance.

dunhill royal yacht, is one of my favorites,im talking about the one that is from the united kingdom. i only smoke this tobacco in my GBD made in england pipe.this tobacco has a lot of nicotine, so be careful,i got my royal yacht in bermuda also the GBD pipe, upon my first light, i was surprised how smooth it was. the taste is great,the flavor is and aroma was better than i expected. the room note is just fine, no complaints from the wife. i highly recommend this tobacco if you could find the one made in the UK. I give this blend three stars thank You DUTCH

I really like Russ and Scotty's blends but aromatics are just not for me, period. I bought a pound of Butternut Burley a year ago and still have well over half. The best I can report is that the wife likes the room note so I smoke it while begging for money to send to Bass Pro Shops. Works every time. If Scotty blended a pure burley, without the goop, I'd bet it would be great. Meanwhile, if you want a really good burley, try 'Blue Grass Melody' from Affordable Pipes.

I have been searching for a blend to add to my rotational favorites. Based on the reviews here, I purchased a small quanity and after having smoked it several times over the last month or so...I feel this one may be what I have been searching for. I find this to be the tobacco I reach the most often as it is mild all round, and you really have to work at getting it to bite the tounge. Since I have only been smoking this blend a few weeks I gave it three stars, and will update this review at a later time.

Update #2: I grow weary of this blend. It is time to upgrade that bail-top-jar to something more worthy.
Update #1: After somking this blend off and on for a year, I find myself reaching for it less and less. Still tastes fine but the complexity is lacking. I guess my tasted have matured and I have unfortunatly grown out of this monochromatic tobacco. Dont get me wrong...it is still good, its just I can find others that are better.
Another winner from Pipes and Cigars on Central Ave. I must admit I like their stuff, but I am bias...I'm a local. This tobacco is tradional looking to the eye, and the pouch aroma is excellent. I have to keep it up high so my seven year old son keeps his nose out of the canister. It benefits with some drying out, like most aromatics. It packs well, but not as good as others. And it lights well using the three match method. Stays lit very well and is low maintenance in the pipe. Burns to a nice salt-and-pepper ash. Can be wet towards the bottom, but like I have mention in other reviews I am a quick puffer. But the real reason I love this stuff is even though I am quick to puff, I simply cannot get tongue bite and it doesn't make my pipe hot...very impressive. That is not the only great quality to this blend. The taste is very smooth and buttery. I wish there was a better way to expain the flavor without being redundant, but there isn't. Monochormatic on the flavor....but who cares if the flavor changes through the bowl, just so long as it taste well throughout the smoke. The room note is one of the best of all the tobaccos I smoke, a real crowd pleaser. A great aromatic without all the hassles of one.

After reading the rave reviews of this blend, I was somewhat disappointed in this offering.
I'm not a big fan of straight burleys, and need a fairly strong casing of good flavoring to enjoy them. Butternut Burley's casing is way too light for my palate.
There is nothing offensive about this blend. It burns and smokes cool enough. I find this one a bit boring.
2 Stars.....add a star if you're a big burley fan.
