pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Butternut Burley

Don't you all love reviews that open with "I do not like aromatics" then the reviewer precedes to tell us why they hate this or that particular aromatic? Please ....

I'm one who doesn't smoke many aromatics but I do like SBB. This is my kind of aromatic. Not heavily cased. It's mild [so a perfect smoke with my morning cuppa] It's low in nicotine [another plus for me] And most importantly, SBB does not bite. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste that doesn't linger for too long.

As others have mentioned, the delicious jar note smells to me like butterscotch. This is one of the blends that I smoke when in company where I receive many compliments on it's aroma. Burley dominant blends are often too earthy & sometimes too bitter for my tastes but not with this blend.

SBB is a pleasant mild blend that I'd recommend to those who enjoy mild aromatics where one can still taste the tobacco. Highly recommended for beginners. Those who enjoy Burley should love this blend.

My only regret with purchasing SBB is that I didn't stock up on more before importing tobacco became illegal here in Nanny State Australia where a 50g tin of tobacco is now over $100 [I shit you not]

Update; I've compared SBB side by side with Butternut Burley from 4Noggins. From what I can tell they're the same blend. BB is much cheaper than SBB.

Top Drawer aromatic, for sure! Burley is a bit nutty and the buttery honey and vanilla are not to overwhelming. Smooth from light till the last puff. No heavy goopy residue in the bottom of the pipe either. This one can have appeal to all levels of smoking experience. By far one of my top 5 aromatics. Well done!

Very smooth smoke that provides a pleasant experience from bag to bowl to lingering aftertaste. Warm, nutty burley that is not too sweet is sure to please any smoker or non-smoking passerby that catches the delightful aroma coming from your pipe. Just received another 4 ounces and I'm eager to get at it.

This is among the finest aro's I have smoked.

The big difference is that there is a real and deep tobacco taste to go along with the aro. Usually its a burst of sweet smoke and nothing underneath, but this is what an aro should be with rich and deep Bur going on with the aro added lightly on top.

Rich plumes of smoke, very easy to pack light and draw. Delightful aroma, and the tobacco get richer down the bowl.

Remarkable.

I need to secure several lbs of this now and store it.

Scotty's Butternut Burley is just a good all day smoke with a nice mild warm buttery butterscotch type taste and room note. While a top note is present , you can still get the taste and feel for the burley blend. This is a great smoke when you want tobacco flavor but just a little on the side for your sweet tooth. While I do not smoke a lot of blends that have a aro footnote to them, this is one that I always go back to and cannot help but give 2 thumbs up.

Fortunately for me the pound and a half I have bought of this blend was BEFORE the blend changed as noted in prior reviews. I find it to be a wonderful smoke with plenty of flavor and a great room note. This is truly my everyday smoke when I can't think of any other blend I want. I highly recommend this blend if you can can't some that is more than six months old.

I am a recent convert to pipe smoking. I find that it's actually a positive when reading and writing as opposed to cigarettes, and though perhaps not healthy, I smoke much less.

I got this as part of the victory lap sampler, and am blown away. In fact tasting this in my "university" pipe purchased ten years ago in a similar act of conversion. Soon, at my door the postman had delivered a natural Savinelli with Lucite stem. All the difference in the world! A biggish bowl, short, bent and nicely darkening.

The pouch aroma bowls one over, but not in a negative way, just tobaccoey sweetness, and a little something else. They call it butternut - I call it all, as a total package, unctuous. This blend has affirmed my love of burley. I find a short amount of drying helps my enjoyment, and reduces gurgle to non-existent.

If others read this review,and feel inclined, please point out other nice burley blends.

My wife will put up with me "secretly" smoking in the house. I like Virginias too, but she won't have them. As a gift to myself and to her, I have ordered eight ounces.

Also ordered a trevi author rustic - shall try in it as well. Also, some EMP clone is on its way - 4 oz., and from what I'm reading, I think I will enjoy it.

I was given a healthy sized ziploc bag of this from a friend to try out. Loved it. I will buy more, and keep it in the daily rotation. smell was tame in the bag but pleasant, room note was pleasing for all, flavor kept me interested through the bowl and I was a touch sad when it quickly disappeared and I was out! I found a bit of dry time needed, though it never really bit me. Just was a bit more fussy with re-lights.

I'm mainly a English blend smoker...(Magnum Opus & Northwoods) but in the morning I go right for a bowl of burley & a cup of strong coffee & Scotty's BB is IMHO the best burley around. I've tried my share of different burleys but I always come back to BB & I'm done teating the waters. NO BITE & A GREAT BURLEY FLAVOR!! Just the right amount of sweetness in the smoke with a slight & only occasional hint of honey makes this blend PERFECT with a cup of Columbian coffee before I start the day. This is a burley lovers delight!!
