(3.00)
A beefy Burley and Yellow VA meld perfectly together with a Connecticut Maduro Cigar leaf to produce a sweet, yet meaty smoke. This blend truly sings with plenty of body, subtle sweetness, and notes of cocoa. Burley lovers delight! Nuttiness, very slight cocoa, sweet, earthy, light floral finish.

A nice cigar blend. Good and smokey while not being overwhelming. The sweetness of the Maduro wrapper compliments the Va and Burley well. Speaking of the burley, this is a blend for burley lovers.

This is my favorite so far of the "fusion lab" mixtures from pipesandcigars.com. The cubed burley has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. The virginia gives the blend a bit of a tang and the cigar leaf gives it a good amount of body and smoke volume. It seems to work well in any size pipe. Just lightly pack it in and go for it. It has no "added" flavor - just the usual treatment that seems to be done with burley tobaccos. The blenders seem to have produced the right balance of the 3 tobacco varieties for my taste. Since purchasing, I seem to go to this quite often.
