I'm amazed that this blend only has 4 reviews IMHO this one of the best burleys in the market the flake is easy to work with it comes at a perfect moisture from the store, the flavor is very earthy the nicotine level is just right. If I was incline to do so this could make it as the only burley blend I would buy.

This has launched me into the world of burleys, so perhaps since this is my first burly you should take my review with a grain of salt, or perhaps I should say nothing.
It is delicious and nutty. The flavor is not overwhelming but it can produce voluminous smoke which can be thick on the tongue. Apparently this is not an easy tobacco to come by, it is more expensive by a couple of dollars per ounce than the other blends, but extremely enjoyable. I will miss it until I can get it again (they were out, last I checked).
This is one that shines mid-bowl to finish. The first few puffs are somewhat less than astounding, but once you settle into it, it gets pretty darn good. The slices are thin and easy to rub out. I like to fold one up for the bottom of the bowl and then rub out another or two for the top portion.
I had originally rated this a three star, as I hadn't had a ton of experience in the burly department, but now I'm changing it to four. An incredibly good tobacco. The last I got came in strips as opposed to small rectangles, but the quality remained the same and I hope they always have this on hand.

First off, I like burley. Somerset Slice is a very well done, and well presented burley flake. Like many burleys, it isn't for the inexperienced pipe smoker. It is pretty strong in nicotine for those used to lighter english blends, lighter VA's or aromatics. If you smoke this too fast, it could spin your head, and ruin the bottom of the bowl. Best smoked with a slow cadence. Just coaxing the bowl to stay lit. (true pipe smoking technique applies here) This blend reminds me much of Edgeworth Sliced which I have a good stash of. I'm glad I was pointed at this blend. It will serve as a replacement in my rotation so I don't deplete my stock of Edgeworth. My 2 oz sample came to me a bit moist for my taste, I prefer to rub the flake to a course chunky consistency and let dry for a short time. 30-45 mins depending on the humidity here. The reward is a good flavorful burley smoke. What more could you ask from a bowl of 'baccy?
