Larus and Brother passed on 5 years before I started smoking a pipe. It's too bad, as Holiday (in its match form) is now one of my favorite pipe mixtures. And as of today, Sutliff's match "Edgeworth" Ready Rubbed has joined it.
All I can say is that those Larus Brothers were on to something. It's very sad that cigarette smoking essentially killed their business.
Nevertheless, here I am 55 years later trying the famous Edgeworth Ready Rubbed for the first time in an incarnation that, according to JimInks, is virtually identical to the original. And all I can say is I'm glad I tried this.
I love the chunky texture of Ready Rubbed. And the light chocolate pouch aroma is very inviting.
As for the taste? That is the grand part. Sweet, nutty burley. The sweetness is not at all cloying. It's mild and dark. Must be the molasses doing that. And there is no burley bite. None at all. Even puffing at a fairly deliberate pace.
ERR is perhaps the most tasty non-aromatic I've tried yet. It's simple and yet has so much going for it.
One reviewer felt it was something to easily tire of. But I say who gets tired of potato chips, or baked potatoes, or steak, or beef stew, or corn on the cob, or fried chicken?
All simple pleasures we never tire of. And so is ERR.
This stuff is fabulous. I love it. Larus knew what they were doing with Holiday and Edgeworth. And I am so glad that Sutliff has preserved these two great blends .
I'd give this 5 stars if I could.

Normally I am not a burley fan, but this blend really caught my attention and has become a bulk purchase. Best way to describe it:
Long-smoking, a nice nuttiness to the burley (and not the bitter, walnut shell kind of nuttiness either, which I am not a fan of) mixed with hints of cocoa.
Really quite a pleasant, cool smoke.

Recently purchased this as I found that most retailers have stopped carrying Lane Limited Ready Rubbed. The tubs that were available for purchase were either higher than normal price, or included ridiculous shipping costs.
This blend smells near the Lane product, dare I say possibly even better.
The blend was a tad moist, however a quick light removed most of the moisture. Presented with some nutty and woodsy burley flavor with a slight note of cocoa and a bit of sweetness likely to be molasses.
Great replacement and overall a worthwhile budget blend that I can see myself stocking up as long as I can find mason jars.

A nice all day Burley with a pleasant aroma and taste. The burleys are nutty and earthy with some sweetness from the molasses. There is some cocoa flavoring but it plays second fiddle to the molasses. No bite at all and a good value for someone who wants a simple codger Burley to puff on all day.

This is my all day burley blend. Everything bout it is great. The price, the tin note, flavor, and room note. The cut makes it an easy pack. Takes a flame well, tastes of wonderfuly mild earthy burley w a touch of cocoa. Not to strong. I often fi d myself think of the next bowl while I'm still smoking a bowl. That is the ruler I measure 4 star blends with. If you like burley try it. I caan see why this was so popular for soooo long.

Summary: easy-going bulk Burley/Virginia mix that tastes like hot cocoa with marshmallow. Still too much goop for me.
We all like the idea of the simple life. Roll out of bed on a Saturday, head on down to the corner store for a paper and a packet of tobacco, then load the pipe and go for a long drive. As far as OTC blends go, this one is fairly archetypal: a sweet-nutty flavor with a chocolate and vanilla flavoring that contributes a great deal of sweetness. It burns easily and delivers consistent flavor, so if you wanted something to smoke while thinking of entirely different things, it is perfect because the blend basically smokes itself. The only glitch is that it is light in nicotine and still too heavy in goop, which makes it sugary instead of having any depth of flavor. This is where it falls to "Prince Albert," although it would be great if that (stronger, less gooped) tobacco came in this rough cube cut! "Ready Rubbed" could be a top-ranked blend if not for those little glitches, but as it is, I wish it were available in the shops because sometimes you just feel like something uncomplicated.

Found this to be very enjoyable. Start with the cut. Cubes and broken flakes rubbed out to a chunky mixture. Loading a bowl best to just scoop it up with just a very light tamp. Takes a light well and stays going. When lit coco, chocolate, and molasses mix in with burley. Great combination. Not overly sweet or strong Burley. I've never had ERR or LRR, so I can't compare to them, but on its own merits will give high marks. I've been having several bowls daily and greatly enjoying each one.

This burley does not seem to be heavily cased. The smell is of chocolate and some molasses. It is a very chunky cut that does not require further rubbing out but you can if you want. Not too sticky or goopey. Packs and lights easily. Flavor is typical burley. Very smooth. Very much like ERR or LLRR. To my tongue this is smoother than SWR but I get more nuttiness from SWR. Sutliff compared to LLRR is very close. Not sure if I could tell the difference if I were blind folded. This is a solid smoke that you can enjoy whenever. Nice and cool and the room note is easy on the nose. Only bites if you puff WAY to hard. Strength is decent but nothing that will overpower you. I like it. Probably will conduct a smoke-off with back to back bowls with this and SWR to see how they compare. Definitely more body and strength than PA or CH.

Since I do not have a highly refined palate, it's hard to describe tastes and flavors that I experience. I only know what I like and do not like. So here's my rating scale and a brief reason for the rating.
★★★★ = Excellent - Apocalypse blend, cellar worthy.
★★★☆ = Good - Not part of regular roatation but keeping a few tins/ounces is wise.
★★☆☆ = Fair - A smokable blend that is worth trying again.
★☆☆☆ = Poor - Do not smoke! Trade off or give away to the unsuspecting.
Because tastes and blends change over time and depending on what pipe is used, I reserve the right to change my rating at any time.

A great tobacco. Great morning and mid day smoke. However, it just could not deliver a great nightcap smoke like some other Burleys can. It tastes of cocoa and cedar. A must try tobacco for smokers of all walks.
