Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Main Street Burley
(2.50)
A rich full burley in the classic sense. No added flavoring that I can detect. This bulk tobacco comes as a cross cut broken flake that is easy to rub out. Burns clean and dry to a fine ash. If you are looking for a great burley , or a replacement for a lost classic this will fit the bill

The burleys are a little nutty with some cocoa, and a very mild molasses. It also has a bare hint of sharpness. There's a light sweet topping, slightly sugary. The nic-hit is very mild. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns at a moderate pace with a cool and mostly smooth, consistent one dimensional flavor. Leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl, and requires few relights. The after taste is mild and sweet, and short lived. Makes lots of smoke, but it suffers from being very plain. An all day innocuous smoke.

This blend reminds me of the big, bold burley flakes available from Cornell and Diehl. The broken flakes of this blend look like small twigs, or pieces of All-Bran cereal. It stayed lit just fine.
The pure burley tobacco flavor was evident with each puff. This blend, while having a big, bold taste, seemed much milder and easier to smoke than any of the aforementioned C&D blends I've tried. This blend also has a bit of the Nick to it, but not enough to make my head spin.
Worth a shot.
