Ah, another legacy blend...
When I was a youngster, this was readily available in Woolworth's, Walgreens, etc. It was along the same lines as Middleton's Cherry Blend: A decent Burley/Virginia, lightly cased with peach brandy with the tobacco taste coming through. It smelled nice, but not nearly as sweet as the current herd of black Cavendish aromatics.
The last time I saw it was on JR's website, just before it went to the retirement home for old OTC blends, where it joins Bestoval, Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, Brindley's Mixture, and many others. Still, you never know when you might come across an unopened tin on e-bay eh? I wouldn't break the bank for this stuff though if I were you!
Altadis is producing a "match" blend. I will probably pick some up to see if it is anything like the original (as I remember it anyway). The Edgeworth copy is very enjoyable, so I have reason to hope.
What's incredible is just how much these blends morph as they change blenders over the years. Rum & Maple in its original form fairly bragged how it contained Syrian Latakia(!) So, sometimes the only thing left of a blend is just its name...

I really expected this to be an aromatic because of it's name. Not that I had by heart set on an aromatic when buying a tub of this stuff but the name combined with the tin aroma had me prepared for a Captain Black sort of experience. Boy was I dead wrong. This is just plain cool dry smoking burley... nothing else.
As with most burleys I've come across you need to smoke this slowly or else it will become bitter. However, smoke it properly and you'll be rewarded with the nutiness you smoke burleys for.
