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.

Alright, I'll begin by saying that I do not normally smoke aromatics. I'm a Latakia man, and don't need anything "artificial" with my smoke. Just give me a good English or Balkan, and leave me alone for an hour or so. That said, let me state that Butternut Burley is one of my favorite blends. From pouch to bottom of bowl, it consistently surpasses my every expectation. It is one FINE Burley. There are two traits of this tobacco which I really appreciate, in addition to its' wonderful flavor: 1). The room note is outstanding. This is the tobacco I reach for when I am going to be around others. It's a rare day when I light it up in public and don't receive a compliment. "Wow, what IS that ?!? It sure smells GOOD" !! or "That smells wonderful. It reminds me of my grandpa (or uncle, or dad, or...). I really miss the smell of a pipe...". 2). This tobacco is so easy to smoke that it almost packs the bowl for you and lights itself. Fast, slow, or anywhere in between, it always delivers a cool, dry smoke, and stays lit all the way through the bowl. Because of the above characteristics, I often smoke this blend when I am going to be around others and engaged in doing something that keeps me from focusing 100% on my pipe, like playing golf or fishing. Even if you don't normally like aromatics, I would recommend this blend to you. Four stars, unhesitatingly.
P.S. I should mention that given its' price, Butternut Burley is one of the best values in all of briardom.

Having only entered into the world of pipe smoking (yes, virgin smoker here at the prime age of 48, no cigarette or cigar had ever crossed my lips), I read the reviews posted here, in search of a mild tobacco. After a two dozen pipefills and countless, languid puffs, I have crossed the threshold and have taken those first inquisitive steps into the world of Burley.
I have since tried two other Burely blends from other makers and it is Butternut Burley that I always return to. It provides the smoking experience that satisfies this mans? palate: soft flavouring, nuanced with glimpses of organic fields under a mid-west October sun and toasted nut; it?s a relaxing smoke, a tobacco that mellows an active mind and wraps you in organic comfort. I highly recommend it to those just starting out as it smokes very gently and it offers a sweet, non-offensive room note. My Lady Love enjoys a puff herself, often following up with a blissful kiss. I?ve just placed another order from pipesandcigars.com (Look under Bulk Tobacco/Scotty?s blends). To me, this is like comfort food cooked in briar.

Best burley I have ever experienced. When someone says "I'm thinking about trying the pipe, what tobacco would you suggest I try." This will be the blend I recommend. Deserves a better name, like Back Porch.

One of the better burning aromatics to be found, with a wonderful buttery flavor that can be smoked all day. The highest marks for cost, taste and quality to this one, with an added bonus of it being a wonderful tobacco to break a pipe in with (burley) Grab the largest bowl You can and fire this aromatic up (that acts nothing like an aromatic) You won't be disapointed.

I second all the good reviews below. Packs well, stays lit and is very smooth. No bite even when puffed hard. I am adding this to my standard rotation. And at a price that is very nice.

I love Burley and this blend is the only cased burley I have ever truly enjoyed. The intense buttery flavor really enhances the burely's sweetness and nuttiness. The big thing for me is that even though this is cased with somekind of "butter" the burley's natural flavor comes through. This blend has no tounge bite and is very well behaved in all size pipes, packs and lights easy and burns slow, cool, even and clean to the bottom of the bowl into a fine gray ash.
Burley fanciers will love this one. Even those who don't care for burely may like this fine blend. At bulk prices, this is a real treat in all aspects!

dunhill royal yacht, is one of my favorites,im talking about the one that is from the united kingdom. i only smoke this tobacco in my GBD made in england pipe.this tobacco has a lot of nicotine, so be careful,i got my royal yacht in bermuda also the GBD pipe, upon my first light, i was surprised how smooth it was. the taste is great,the flavor is and aroma was better than i expected. the room note is just fine, no complaints from the wife. i highly recommend this tobacco if you could find the one made in the UK. I give this blend three stars thank You DUTCH
