Because I do enjoy a pure burley tobacco every now and then, I recently smoked a couple of bowls of this stuff that I stole (with permission, of course) from a friend's pouch. This tobacco was used last year at my pipe club's slow-smoking contest and the winner kept it lit in a Peterson for almost an hour and a quarter. So, I suppose that means it stays lit well!
I tasted an upscale Prince Albert. This burley tobacco was about an 8 on a scale of 10 as far as burley taste goes. (I give PA a 4). It was not particularly impressive, but it sure was pleasant enough in my Tonino Jacono saddle-stem billiard.
If you are a burley lover and don't want to spend an arm and a leg for a smoke, then here you go.

My two stars here reflect not so much the overall quality of the puffing experience, but what one reviewer refers to as the "one dimensional" quality of the experience. What I appreciate from this tobacco is the near absence of any kind of topping or casing (there may be a little, but I do not think so). The quality of the tobacco is very good,and it burns very clean to nice light gray ash at first and that becomes more mottled with darker grays as I near the bottom of the bowl. On occasion, I have set a smoking pipe aside for up to 4 minutes to grab a cup of coffee, and when I come back, it needs no relight. It stays lit and smolders nicely.
As others have noted the room note is warm and nutty with just a hint of wet maple leaves on a clear autumn morning. For me personally, this is a preferred puff when I wake from the occasional afternoon nap. Paired with a coffee, it delivers the right mix of caffeine and nicotine to recalibrate my senses.
I also like to use this break in a new pipe. Because it has little if any casing, I will run this through a couple of times before making a decision about its future puffing function (Latakia, Aromatic, Virginia, etc).
Because it is all Burley, it is one dimensional in comparison with other tobacco blends. I do wonder, however, if this one dimensionality is only because most smokers are accustomed to blended tobacco experiences. There may in fact be some subtle surprises in store for someone who chooses to focus only on Burleys for an extended time.
