I purchased a sample in order to see how it would work for blending. As suspected, it is a mix of dark and white Burley, which results in a nutty, woody flavor with an underlying sweetness and a slight tang of vegetative taste, like a faint hint of unripe crabapple or grass you chew while waiting for your Mom to pick you up from the public pool. I found myself smoking this straight because, as a Burley fan, I enjoy the raw flavor and find this mixture sweet enough, although it is light on nicotine and therefore probably not good as an all-day smoke. It burns slowly and thoroughly and provides a good base to any blend, and its background sweetness makes it embrace Virginias (and by extension, Perique) easily. However, I could just as easily see smoking it straight.

Jar note of earthy, dark chocolate, and a spiced herbal fermentation like note. The brown ribbon cut tobacco needs no drying, larger pieces may need attention. Burns moderately with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of very earthy, very dry, quite bitter, very woody, cocoa, sweet nuts, spicy/peppery, cigar, a toasted bread background note, and a very peppery retro. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good.

A shorthand annotation about this tobacco: After enjoying countless bowls of my daily burley, Carter Hall and Prince Albert, I find this Burley Ribbon Cut to serve as the un-edulcorated, artifice-free version of the same. It is quite the plain burley, but simple is not intended as dull. I find it richly fragrant and palatably pleasant, delivering the full flavor of tobacco with the same but more subtle notes of cocoa and molasses, we enjoy in Carter Hall and Prince Albert. It burns rather quickly; if one follows instead of retarding the burning rhythm, it may deliver a few harsh or bitter (cigarette-like) notes. I recommend it to those who, like I do, devotedly enjoy Carter Hall and Prince Albert, but occasionally wish these blends had more body and strength. Cheers,
