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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The smell of this blend is wonderful, very buttery. I was very excited at first and hoping for a great smoke. All I got was an "ok" smoke. Nothing to write home about. May help to dry it a bit, didn't seem moist (least nothing out of the ordinary for an aromatic smoker) but just couldn't keep it burning well. The taste was just meh, again nothing interesting about it, nothing terrible about it.
