Cornell & Diehl - Dark Burley.
Misnomer: it's not dark, but a medium brown, as you can see by the picture! The ribbons are mid-size and the pouch-note (I bought bulk but it can be bought in a 2oz tin) is sweet and reminiscent of a topping. Moisture's good.
When I took my first few puffs it tasted like a straight-forward burley. After the burn had settled I noticed, like in the pouch-note, an extra sweetness had developed: slightly fragrant, sugary, almost like cotton candy. Behind the sweetness we have a rugged, slightly caustic, burley flavour. The first quarter's a pleasant smoke, but it soon decreases, and becomes astringent. D.B. burns well, fairly cool, but can give me a spot of bite. Something which is almost certainly just me is it leaves a rough coating/sensation on my tongue!
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: tolerable.
Two stars.

Kind of boring by itself. Sort of similar to the Sutliff white cube burley, but less flavorful/complex. Nutty, maybe bready, quite strong nicotine hit. It may be fine for mixing, but I'm not sure it would contribute much except a blank slate and significant nicotine levels. Not unpleasant, not without merit, but unless I get into blending in the future, I'm not sure I'd reorder this. I found myself looking forward to the end of the bowl. May have use as a sort of palate cleanser after a flavor bomb, but probably any quality burley blend would be better for this purpose.
