Hearth & Home Classic Burley Kake
(3.11)
Classic Burley Kake is a new blend that pays homage to old time burley flakes and cakes. Using Tennessee and Kentucky burleys, ranging from lighter white to darker mahogany, and a bit of matured red Virginia, this sliced cake tobacco is a traditional American style blend. We start with four different types of burley, the aforementioned Tennessee and Kentucky, plus two different premium white burleys. Then we add a red Virginia for a maple-like sweetness. Then we use all natural flavors: cocoa, rum and anise and steam the tobaccos with the flavorings and firmly press and slice it. The aroma is mellow and pleasant, and the taste is lightly sweet with a large volume of smoke. Hearken back to a simpler time when the sight of a pipe in someone's mouth while walking down the street was common, and the scent of pipe tobacco was everywhere.

My bulk arrived as a mix of pressed sticks ~ 3"x1"x1/2" and broken off pieces that were still moister than my preference. The sticks were too large to pack as is and it was quite difficult to separate them for packing. Not worth the effort since I didn't enjoy the topping that covered up the true tobacco taste. The flavoring is advertised so perhaps this was my error to even try this one since I seldom smoke aromatics but the overpowering flavoring mixed with the Burleys didn't work for me. Burned evenly and without any bite but was too mild for me.

I somewhat recommend this blend for daily smoking update my second order of this tobacco totally lacking in taste and very little aroma.

I like this one, but it's a little too mild to be a regular smoke for me. Not a thing bad to say about this one, just wish it was twice as strong. Good Flavor but not nearly enough.
