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.

This one was a bit of a dissapointment... It's not that it is a bad blend, but becuase I'm not that fond of burley. With it's popularity I was hoping a sexy aromatic could cure me of that, but it failed to do so. As expected with the leave and toppings this tasted earthy and nutty with vanilla and butter. Not a complex blend in any way. It burned cool and behaved fine in the relight department. Go figure a burley aromatic tasted like, well, a burley aromatic.

A mild blend suitable for morning or all day smoking. A sweet taste and a very pleasant room note. Very similar to 1-Q, but not quite as good, although it is still worth keeping around for a change from the large amounts of 1-Q that I consume. I really find this is a blend that I prefer to smoke in a cob. Lites and burns well. The room note i a real crowd pleaser.

Nice, wide cut, almost broken flake in appearance. Good moisture level. Bag note is burley, sweetened a bit, with some discernible vanilla, and the honey smells somewhat like honey and somewhat like butterscotch. I presume that there is some sort of nutty flavoring as well, or it could just be a very nutty burley. Easy to pack and light, I usually can get through a bowl with a couple lights. Burns cool and just about medium pace. Flavor is very natural burley, smoothed by the vanilla and sweetness. I get a hint of saltiness here and there, as you do when enjoying a butterscotch disc or Werther’s Original candy. Not much for butterscotch flavor, but the mellow sweetness makes it a real treat while not being cloying. Flavor stays pretty consistent, gaining a bit of richness toward the end. Burns down completely, with no dottle, even with no drying time. Highly recommended for a very lightly aromatic aromatic.

The quality of the tobacco was great. Just the right amount of moisture, not too wet and not too dry. The tobacco blend has a light, but somewhat aromatic smell to it. I was expecting a stronger smell like Trout Stream, but was somewhat disappointed in how mild the topping was.
The tobacco lit well and burned clean to a white ash in the bowl.
I'm giving it 3 out of 4 stars because of how mild the taste of the smoke is. Probably because I'm a heavy aromatic smoker and am use to more full-bodied smokes. There was nothing negative about this smoke, just a little on the dull side for me.

What a wonderful surprise! I had a care package sent to me and inside was an ounce of this and as soon as I opened the bag I was in love! The room note is nothing less than divine and my wife actually enjoyed sitting next to on the front porch one evening drinking coffee while I was smoking this. There is not any bite at all and nor did I have wet sludge at the bottom of the bowl when I was finished smoking. This is a tobacco I can smoke all day and I just ordered a pound of it so I can can smoke at least one bowl a day for many days to come!

this review is just to keep track for myself mainly, less intended as a serious in depth review. Just to keep an eye of what ive tried and what I like, with quick notes about it. alot of these notes are from memory, and I will update the review as I continue smoking them.
one of the first i tried many many years ago as a kid. I remember it literally tasting like butter. great for a begineer smoker. would try again but i dont think it would be as amazing an experience. but this tobacco did an amazing job at hitting a certain soft light salty buttery taste that ive yet to find in anything else. good tobacco

The smell is sweet from some obvious artificial toppings. Nothing unpleasant, but nothing I wanted to dig into upon first whiff. I wish the leaves weren't so broken down, the mix needed a more hearty cut for packing. It was the consistency of Oregano seasoning with a somewhat sticky topping.
The sweetness remained upon lighting up, giving you a very consistent experience from start to finish. It gives off a mountain of smoke, which caught me off guard with a cough.
The Butternut Burley did not work for me, yet I could see someone enjoying it as a no nonsense all day smoker.

This is one of the first blends I tried years ago, and from the first puff, I new this was a quality aromatic. Great buttery/butterscotch aroma from the bag. Packs and lights easily. This is without a doubt an all day smoker. Rich and flavorful, every puff is a delight. I do like to let it dry for about 15 min before packing, but it's not necessary. This is one blend that does taste like it smells. Room note is wonderful and I always receive compliments. The smell lingers on my hands for hours after smoking, which is really pleasant. Being a big fan of VA's and vapers, I smoke very few aros nowadays, but this is one that I find myself smoking a few times a month when I get an itch for something sweet. Definitly worth keeping a jar of this on the shelf.

I thought for sure I had reviewed Butternut Burley back in 2004 when I used to buy it for $20 a pound, my how times have changed.. I just purchased some from P&C and was happy to report it was the same as the previous pounds I had canned that is mild, mellow, not overly aromatic and devoid of ANY tongue bite even if huffed like a train. Nowadays the price has gone up considerably ($45 a pound currently) so more than double in ten years and in doing so is now in competition with the small batch blenders like Uhles and Pipeworks & WIlke so you must really enjoy BB to justify the price. I thought I had given BB 4 stars back in 2004 since the quality and price made this a fantastic choice for all day or beginners but now at almost $50 a pound it is a 3 star blend for me but a 4 star tobacco in it's own right.

I found his blend to remind me of 1Q with a lot more burley for that darker, nutty/coco flavor mingled with the already excellent vanilla/honey/butter of the topping. Excellent handling and burning qualities, no bite, respectable N content. A very fine smoke indeed and highly recommended to the aromatic or burley/aro smoker. Burley purists will find this blend too sweet but everyone else in the room will appreciate what you have done for them.
