pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Butternut Burley

Jar note of chocolate, vanilla and gram crackers. The black and brown course cut tobacco is a little moist and may need a minute or two to dry out. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is medium with notes of honey and vanilla, honey hanging a little stronger than the vanilla and both last to the end. Taste is mild and mostly consistent, with notes of dry rich earth, oak wood, bitter cocoa, molasses, sweet nutty, a smooth creamy background note, and a smooth retro. Burleys is leading with flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great.

It is very good, the aroma is pleasant, if the strength is not enough to smoke alone, I will add 20%Old Red, although it is no longer produced but I still have a lot of ha ha

From the tin it’s fairly wet and a little goopy, and is ribbon cut. The aroma is as the description says. It is buttery, nutty, with vanilla and honey. Hints of chocolate and a fruity sherry or brandy topping is also present.

It smokes like the aroma. Buttery, nutty, vanilla, honey, with a hint of chocolate. I also notice some caramel and the brandy topping. The Burley is a little nutty with some molasses. Cavendish adds a light touch of brown sugar.

The descriptions says no bite and that is true. Absolutely no bite and smoked very cool. Required virtually no relights. It smoked dry but did leave some moisture in the bowl. Very little nicotine, and in combination of the zero bite, could be smoked all day without pause. 3 out of 4 stars.

Note: I have read that this is identical to Ole Shenandoah Barrel No. 76. They also share the same description. I find them to be identical with a few small differences. Scotty’s Butternut Burley has a touch more honey and the sherry/brandy note a little stronger, as well as the toppings being an shade more pronounced and distinguishable. That being said it would be difficult to tell the two apart if blindfolded. They both have the same review notes, so I am using this note to distinguish the two. Barrel No. 76 gets 3 stars, Butternut Burley receives 3.25.

Notes of nutty pecan are prevalent throughout the entire blend. I did get some butter notes, and I can't decide if it's from the 'butternut' or the ghost of Boswell's Christmas Cookie that I smoked earlier today.

Great aromatic at a great price. In the bag I get mostly honey and vanilla with just a whisper of butterscotch (strange since there's none in there). I'm fairly certain there is black cavendish, even though it's touted as a burley blend. I guess technically you can make cavendish from burley, but whatever, it's a very pleasant blend. To me, it tastes quite a lot like warm, buttery pecan pie with a mild liquor essence (maybe rum or brandy?) Flavor seems to diminish a lot once you get to the final 3rd or 4th of the bowl. I would recommend this -- it's not a personal favorite, but I always keep it in rotation. It smokes cleanly, no problems with moisture or bite, and the room note is awesome.

This is a nice soft smoke and would be a good all day smoke. On the mild side, so I don't pick up a lot of aromatic flavor. Mild (too mild) at first, but then the tobacco settles in nicely for an enjoyable smoke around the halfway mark.

Coming straight from the bulk bag, It was kind of coarse and dry, but some blends are just better like that. It makes it easy to light, and it's quality enough to smoke cool and true all the way.

I really appreciate the nuttiness and just good burley here. The butternut part of it does show every now and then, but it's mild enough to give you a true pipe tobacco full taste. Needless to say the room note is great.

From an english smoker looking for a good aromatic, this could be for a wider audience.

Sweet, mild, burley goodness. For being a cased blend the complete lack of tongue bite is a happy surprise. The primary flavor is the nutty brown burleys. The burleys in this blend are beautiful. Cool burning, Even burning and so so smooth. The vanilla and honey casing is very well done. The honey flavor comes through strong in the smoke making it very pleasant and sweet. The vanilla is not very present but thats alright with me. I am a heavy english smoker so for me to enjoy this blend is really saying something. Heavy, dark burley, virgina and latakia blends make up my usual pipe diet. Butternut Burley has been a pleasant, sweet break in my rotation.

This is a blend I could smoke often. The added top flavors are not to overpowering of the fine burley and Cavendish. The aroma from the tin is nice and the room note is wife and daughter approved. The thick buttery smoke has a pleasant mouth feel. This is an all day smoke.
