I have been making a lot of trades lately and am trying blends that are all over the map as to kind and type. First off this does smell kind of flowery in the bad, a cube cut for sure, burley which I like and it filled very easy into the pipe, I gravity packed it as I knew it would be a slow burner. And it was, very slow, very hard to light (my sample was very dry) and for me was hard to keep lit. But what a great, smooth velvety, and very flavorful smoke. I smoked before bed and it has left a great taste in my mouth. The burley nuttiness really never presents itself as the flavor is very intense. Natural flavoring, I don't think so. I get a peach like flavor and the aroma was great. Very gentle to the tongue, I mean really gentle, but the flavor lasted all the way down with no gunk at all. I really liked it. I will mix a neutral style burly that burns fast like PA with it next to see if I can keep it lit better. But, I could live on this stuff if I had too. Much softer than the Mix 79. If you are an English smoker this is not for you but if you like non vanilla aromatics, I highly recommend it.

Despite some of the older mediocre reviews, I personally think Blend No. 2 is an outstanding example of the codger burley genre. It is a natural nutty tasting rough cube cut burley tobacco that I think is sweetened with licorice or something similar as it has that slight floral/deer tongue flavor. Very easy to load and light and burns well for a cube cut. Very pleasant “classic pipe” aroma. Burns fairly dry and leaves a bit of dottle as is to be expected from the cut. Light nicotine. No bite.
If you enjoy old fashioned American burley pipe blends like Uhle’s 255, Peretti’s 333 and BPC, Sutliff’s Edgeworth Ready Rubbed match (and of course the original Sutliff Ready Rubbed), and Sir Walter Raleigh, you should very much enjoy this blend. Do give this codger-style blend a try. It’s a great representation of its class of pipe tobacco. You can order this from Tinderbox stores online very easily. And while you’re at it, order some of their Special Blend, which is a nice Virginia forward light English.
