pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Butternut Burley

I review and recommend this tobacco as an aromatic. I generally seek an OTC like Carter Hall, or some McBaren Golden Extra when I want a Burley experience as I know it with the characteristic cocoa and nuttiness. I purchased a pound of Butternut Burley in 2009, smoked half of it and jarred the rest. I find the flavor and quality has remained constant. This has a similar finer cut as other OTC's and cased burley blends. Minimal effort to pack and light.

As others have mentioned similar to 1Q. I find it to be like a super light version of Pipes and Cigars Trout Stream. I generally smoke this in a Grabow freehand or cob w/o a filter. Billows of a mildly fragrant smoke with a light flavor. Good mild warm weather fare. Everyone likes the aroma. I believe this is one of the best aromatic offerings available, which from my perspective, is all this blend can be expected to be.

This behaves extremely well towards the bottom of bowl and doesn't goop or ghost. When I crave something easy, light and sweet, , this is my 1st choice. 3 stars.

Not sure what to make of this - certainly easy to smoke, but I'm not sure I get the "butternut" quality; there is an almost perfumed note to it.

Not bad in any way, just a bit odd and highly unexpected in relation to its name.

I have read of the comparison to an "old sweater", but my only ability to make this connection (albeit, after only one bowl) is that it is of a sweater redolent with a woman's perfume.

As I said above, unexpected fragrance and taste.

Update: taking a hint from Blevins, I spread this on a plate and left open in my humidor to air for two days. Totally different experience; odd "perfumy" notes have gone. Smooth smoke, without any gurgle, goop or bite, even burn all the way down. Nice.

I find the description of this blend to be a bit wordy and over the top, so I'll simplify it with my comments on this blend.

If you want a pleasant tasting burley tobacco that you could literally smoke all day long and have a tongue left, this is your huckleberry.

A simple blend containing a quality burley, some black cavendish and some flavoring that to me tastes like butterscotch. The flavoring doesn't overpower the burley, so it's a nice balance....when made correctly.

I've smoked it for years, but there does seem to be a consistency problem with the flavoring applied. Whereas in batches in the past one could easily taste the burley, the amount of flavoring applied to my most recent order suggests a heavy hand was used in adding the butterscotch flavoring so that it completely overwhelms the tobacco. It's almost like smoking pure butterscotch flavoring. Nearly unsmokable, this order only merits two stars. It will likely take weeks in an open humidor to make it what it should be. They need to tone down the flavoring considerably and return to what it used to be, a well balanced burley aromatic.

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 first had this blend a few years ago, finished my 2oz sample and moved on to sample many other tobaccos (both tinned and bulk). A couple of weeks ago I was looking through the reviews here and, while checking out a few other P&C blends, stumbled on Butternut Burley again. Strangely I could recall the taste and, before I knew it, I found myself ordering some.

As the previous reviewer likened it to an old comfortable sweater, I must agree. The flavor and taste are familiar, not overbearing, and perfect with a morning cup of coffee. I would have to add that it is not your typical sweet aromatic and is fairly simple in it's taste. There are indeed faint notes of buttery, nutty, almost pecan sandie flavoring, but these do not overpower the natural tobacco taste.

This will probably become one of my go-to Burleys. Not that I smoke burley blends all that often but sometimes I am in the mood for something simple, comfortable, and familiar.

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!!

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.
