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.

If I had started with this tobacco thirty years ago when I first began attempting to become a pipe smoker, I would have fell in love with the briar from the first puff. I think this is one of the finest burleys I've smoked and a high recommendation for this one for beginners.
Not that Butternut Burley wouldn't be an absolute pleasure for the old timers out there--it would--but it has NO bite, stays lit, and smells like a pipe tobacco is supposed to smell, the ultimate in a good start for those lighting their first pipe.
My wife loves the room note and says, "You haven't smoked that one I like in awhile," every time I go a few nights without a bowl of this lovely blend. So if you are a burley smoker, try this one. I don't think you'll be sorry.

Pleasant smoke. Butternut present but not overpowering. Burns great this Burley! However, sometimes a little hot if you don’t pay attention. No moisture to speak of in this tobacco. It’s consistently good to the bottom of the bowl. No bite detected. Decent roommate note.

This was my second non-aromatic to try. It's not bad, but it makes me appreciate aromatics. I've also tried Tinderbox's 'Wilshire' (aka Lane's 1Q), and I'd agree with the description, that they are similar, and if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick this one. Not my favorite but it is a pleasant smoke. I will agree you can't make this one bite, no matter how fast you smoke it. The Tin Description listed above is a pretty accurate evaluation.

I have been searching for a blend to add to my rotational favorites. Based on the reviews here, I purchased a small quanity and after having smoked it several times over the last month or so...I feel this one may be what I have been searching for. I find this to be the tobacco I reach the most often as it is mild all round, and you really have to work at getting it to bite the tounge. Since I have only been smoking this blend a few weeks I gave it three stars, and will update this review at a later time.
