I hate being the oddball among those who have reviewed this tobacco, but I can only rate "Unique" as a "somewhat recommend". Perhaps it is because I believe that Burley in English tobacco needs to be done just right or to be of very high quality, to be pleasurable. Please take that into consideration.
While "Unique" does have a pleasant smokey flavor, I find little of the underneath Virginia sweetness that others identify in this concoction. In fact there seems to be a little bitterness that I don't enjoy at all. I know some may like that "bordering on bitter" taste, but it seems to me that there are just too many good English blends (and American English blends) to rate this one above 2 stars.
