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.

Ooooooooo... do I love this blend; to the point where I begin to feel insecure when I've noticed I only have about an ounce left in my humidor. When I take pleasure in it, I start to feel the same way I feel when I'm sat down in front of a plate of a warm Belgian waffle, with maple syrup and some bacon on the side. DELICIOUS! It smells delightful right out of the pouch, isn't a huge challenge to pack, lights quickly, and burns evenly right down to the last gulp. And for desert, it leaves behind a warming flavor in the air; so you can smoke it indoors. I most certainly suggest that all aromatic fanatics, at least, give it a fair try.

Brown and black flecks of burley, white burley, and fire cured burley. Topped with a most delicious butternut flavouring, it lights easy, and burns well. Nice big clouds of sweet tasting and sweet buttery Burley, (Yes I am a Burley Fan). A great combination here. It's quite good and I wonder if the "REAL" label should be afixed for having such a real buttery taste. This is a crowd pleaser as well. It reminds me of how the candy counter at Sears, with all the roasting nuts used to smell. This will be a magical blend in the autumn! Yum.

My #2 go to smoke and one I enjoy. Everything in the description I found to be true. Zero tongue bite, even if you're a hard puffer. Packs very well (I use the three bears method). Maybe half the time I have to relight after the char light, and usually make it 2/3 of the way through or more before I have to relight. 2 out of 3 times I smoke it to the dottle with 1-2 lights. My wife enjoys the room note and I often get the "reminds me of my grandfather" comments when smoking it in public. Great smoke for beginners. All day smoke for any experience level.

This is without a doubt one of the best everyday smokes I have ever had. Cool with absolutely no tongue bite. A wonderful mix of burley and virginias that gives off an aroma to die for. Gentle flavors of mild strength with an even burn, I could smoke this for 24/7 and die happy.

This is what aromatic smoking is all about! This is Our Best Blend,PA,PS Va. Longcut in an aromatic,all my favorite blends in different categories I can smoke all day. Appearance is tan,brown and black in a rough cut.Don't see ribbon,shag or flake. This is like Lane's I-Q only raised to the upmost degree. I don't know if it's a higher grade of tobacco,or a better flavoring used. No bite probably because of the cut. I consider this Black Cordial's lighter brother. If you pack it loose & tamp only when you can't re-light you will get the tobacco taste. Very smooth,creamy and pleasant. I smoke this to and from work every day. For those who smoke everything, you're doing yourself a great dis-service but not trying this nectar. Monochromaticness (Funn Dictionary), blandness comes from over puffing IMHO.Currently smoking it in a small meer with a sharp V at the bottom of the bowl. No goop or moisture at all. I have to re-pack if a strand clogs the bottom of the bowl. I put this in a Vinyl sifter pouch which de-moisturizes(Funn Dictionary) it to the perfect degree. No hassel loading,put the granules on top from the other side of the pouch gives you a perfect smoke. Friends have told me they're hungry after smelling this blend. This is the perfect blendation(Funn Dictionary) of taste,smell,smokability,bitelessness(Funn Dictionary) in an Aromatic!! Highly recommended!! Makes you capitalize Aromatic it's so good.

I have read the reviews here on this blend & I think first off you have to like areo's to even consider this blend. This is a Great Tobacco . Great starter for the new pipe smoker. A nice change for the seasoned pipe smoker. I seen where a couple reviews said it has bite??? I dont see how thats possible unless there extremily hard puffers & I do mean HARD puffers because I couldnt make this stuff bite!! Burley fans & areo fans give it a try, I think you will be glad you did.

This is one of my "Big Three" I keep 1 Lb in candy jars on the shelf along side of Rolando's Own and a Dunhill 965 copy. It is a flavorful burley that won't bite and mixes well with other aromatic burley blends (like Peretti's No Name blend) and tastes fine on it's own. It is a real staple tobacco that I return to again and again. And it's a real bargain too.

I love this stuff! I'm a new pipe smoker and started with the Victory Lap Sampler from Pipesandcigars.com, and I have to say that after trying the mild Trout Stream and stronger Anniversary Kake and Larry's Blend that I keep reaching for Butternut Burley more and more. I love the spicy taste of the (burley?) and the nicotine content is a bit stronger than Trout Stream, just what I'm looking for. I've only smoked a few bowls, but plan on ordering up a pound of this and storing it away in some canning jars (this stuff is cheap too, a pound is only twenty bucks!). As for one of the reviews below, not sure I would smoke 2 oz. straight of any kind of tobacco, I prefer a 'rotation' as I see some other folks do. Do yourself a favor and get a few oz of this and add it to your 'rotation', highly recommended!

I love this blend, a lot. I can't add much more than that, I keep this on hand all the time in a carry pouch when I go out, and in my largest humidor.

Hands down, this is the mildest blend I have ever smoked. It behaves nicely in almost any pipe, and always burns down to a nice dry, grey ash. This is about the only blend I have ever smoked that absolutely, will not bite...no matter how hard you try.

After smoking the first pound or so, it does tend to be a bit "bland". I find that mixing in a little Altadis "Creme Brulee" or Lane Limited "Very Cherry" will liven it up a bit, though.

I would definately reccommend this to anyone looking for a great "beginner's pipe tobacco" or perhaps for an "All Day Smoke" for those of us more 'seasoned' pipers.

UPDATE: I finally found exactly how I like it: Take one pound of Butternut Burley and add 2 ounces of Lane BCA and two ounces of Altadis Creme Brulee.....aromatic nirvana!
