Milan Tobacconists 401 Burley Mixture

A combination of crimp-cut light Burleys mellowed with Perique, bright Virginia, and just a dash of toasted Cavendish - all aged to a natural sweetness. Great for new smokers

Aromatics smokers will probably like 401 Burley from the get-go. It is purported to be non-aromatic, but I find it to be a touch carob-like.
401 Burley, a moderately sweet and nutty blend, is at once spicy and floral, with the suggestion of something rather gamey or musty in the nose. I don't find any evolution of taste -- it's a pretty linear smoke, though the floral note fades somewhat. Its gentle sweetness leans toward that of simple sugar and away from the caramel tastes that a good Virginia flake develops, but it's still delightful.
In sum: good smoke volume; fair nicotine hit; packs and lights well; requires occasional re-lights if smoked at an appropriately slow pace; cool, dry and mellow; sweet and flavorful.
