Picked up a tub of this the other day as it was one of the few Codger Burlies I had not smoked fairly extensively. As has been meticulously documented here, I am an unabashed fan of these classic American burley blends. Kentucky Club Mild is no exception but the key word here is MILD. This is perhaps the only fault I can find with this tobak. The taste is good and the smoking manners are great. Consistent with the genre, it is plain and serviceable, good for any occassion and something you could undoubtedly chain smoke day after day without a problem. The room note is inoffensive (maybe even pretty good). Burn was a bit quick but otherwise cool, dry and bite free. Vitamin N content was just OK and overall, as I said, this is pretty light stuff. For the burleyphile, this would make an ideal light, change of pace smoke (which is precisely what I was looking for.) Due to its mild nature, I hesitate to give it a four star rating but in its proper place it's very effective. Don't expect a lot of oooooh and aaaaaah out of this one; it is what it is, a light, mild, all day burley. It will never replace Old Joe Krantz or Prince Albert in my rotation but for a light change of pace tobacco, I'm sure it will stay on my occassional list for a long time to come.

I bought a pouch of this tobacco at my neighborhood tobacco shop, it had been sitting at the bottom of a shelf long enough for it to accumulate quite a bit of dust. I am not sure if the "aging" did any good or not, but I was surprised how mild this tobacco was. It was just as the description stated, mild and cool. There was no variation from the top to the bottom of the bowl. The tobacco did burn fairly cleanly, but did leave some junk at the bottom of the bowl. I would say that there is nothing special about this mixture that would make me buy it again over any of the other drugstore burlys, but it is one that I a glad I tried (but one pouch is enough). With that being said, I would cautiously recommend giving it a try just do not expect great things from it.

This is one of Middleton's best blends, along with Carter Hall, and Walnut. A good simple burley. Great in a cob. A good value for the money. Sadly, unavailable to me unless I order online. If you love burley, try a pouch!

When I opened the pouch I thought- what did I get into here. It selled like the inside of a funeral home. Very flowery- almost ad nauseum. I let it air out a while, and it got at least bearable. I thought I'd bettr try this out in an el cheapo corn cob, so I plopped down my buck fifty for one of those small sample cobs at the neighborhood cheap smoke shop. I lit up, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Very good tasting for a 2 buck pouch of tobacco. No bite, nice and smooth. Did not flavor the pipe, so I put it to the test in my Kaywoodie. Not bad stuff. I'd rate it higher, but since it's a DS brand I kept it at 2. Very good buy for the dollar.
