I bought this just to sample some of the blending burleys out there, and I suspect this is a component of several C&D blends due to the taste. It has a fairly distinctive and pleasant earthy burley flavor. It is slightly sour and slightly bitter. I found it a pleasant and easy smoke. It was very cool burning for me. In terms of strength, it is more mediium than mild.
If you want an untopped Burley to try, this is one with some good flavor. I can believe it would blend very nicely with a sweet Virginia or provide some body to a blend that is "thin."

"A combination of Burleys that we put through a proprietary process that we also use as a component in many of our blends. Whether smoked straight, paired with a fine Virginia, or used as a cooling component in your blend, this is some of Kentucky and Tennessee's finest. "
The above is from the C&D website description. Although I did try a cob-load straight just to see what it's taste profile was I would say it's a blender for sure. Just good burley goodness and a cut far, far above the faux bagged stuff pretending to be pipe tobacco but really is cigarette tobacco dodging taxes.
I have used this to cut SG Squadron Leaders Lakelands (which I do not favor) and render it more to my liking.
I have also mixed this 50/50 with C&D Bright Virginia Ribbon (another blender, good as a stand alone too) for nice, down to earth, pleasurable smoke.

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,
