After having smoked the original Edgeworth RR back in the 1980s, the Lane incarnation ERR, and the newer Lane Ready Rubbed I certainly wanted to try this. My 4 ounces appeared a little chunkier than either of the Lane varieties; similar to the original cube cut but not totally a cube cut. medium brown in appearance with a moisture content good for smoking. There was definitively more of a cocoa smell than any of the other ERR varieties and a bit of a menthol-like smell (perhaps anise?). Loading and lighting were no problem. I couldn't get much of a Burley taste, or any true tobacco taste for that matter, out of this one. What I described as menthol-like was all I perceived throughout the smoke. I didn't taste any chocolate, molasses, or typical anise as such. Not bad for a "set it and forget it" type of a smoke, but due to its lack of Burley/tobacco flavor I'll pass on this one for the future. I actually like the newer Lane version better than this. As an aside, I find Peter Stokkebye's Cube Cut Burley to be closer to what I remember of the original Edgeworth RR. Although the price point was good, I rate it at 2 stars.

I am welcomed by thick cubes and ribbons of tobacco with a very present cocoa smell. At first light, the molasses and cocoa is the first thing I taste, afterwards I get some burley nuttiness with a faint anise/liquorice finish. It's a mild tasting tobacco with a casing that overtakes for the most part. My biggest complaint is the fact that in mid smoke the pipe gets clogged from the casing which for me is a big turnoff. I really wanted to like this tobacco, oh well... another disappointment.

If I smoked Edgeworth back in the day, I don't remember it. In general, though, I agree with SopwithCamel's review -- basically a decent generic burley mixture, with hints of cocao upfront and a little anise towards the bottom. Burns a little on the hot/fast side for me, hence two instead of three stars, but no bite.

This blend was so so. It was very dry, and stayed lit well. I understand this was Norman Rockwell's favorite blend. It has a burley taste, and thats about it. If you are a burley lover I recommend this blend.

I first encountered this blend about three years ago. Lil Brown was selling it under the Consolidated label as Ready Rub Edgeworth.
I received a package today wondering if it was different from the Consolidated version.
There are two problems with this blend: it does not really taste like the ERR of old; it does not taste of anything very much.
I am going to keep it for a couple of years, let it dry out (it is sticky fresh out of the bag) and try it again. But for now, there are better blends.
Update Tried this blend out in one of my old Rocky Briars, and something clicked. Though not exactly like the famed Edgeworth of yore, this match blend turns out to be excellent in its way. Update to three stars.
