Butera Matured Ribbon
(3.28)
A select combination of three distinctly different matured Virginia, including a bright, zesty lemon, sun-dappled red, and a sweet, delicious, slow-stoved black. All are first, well-aged apart, then pressed together into cakes to develop this full-flavored, savory, smooth, balanced blend. Cut and spun to ribbon form. Mature Ribbon delivers a bounty of soft, rich aromas and tastes, with alluring, spicy tart overtures. A truly rare and elegant pleasure to experience. . . Easy to pack. . . Cool smoking throughout.

This is a blend of three different good Virginias, which all together contribute to the creation of a quite fine tobacco.
Of course there is this constant ketchup taste (since it is manufactured by McClelland).
Though it is easily smoked, easily fills the bowl, does not produce any tongue biting, it does not stay lit. It must go through a procedure of drying, in order to bring about better results. It tastes like McClelland?s No 27.
I will not buy it again because I was not really impressed.

I am tough on reviewing Virginias ! I agree with joe ;this is not a krumble kake' but a mix cut ribbon flake Va! One of my favorite Va's is blended by McClelland's ! This is not it. Its not bad its fair to partly cloudy ;and a little pricey for the mediocrity . I will not bash Butera though;for if you want to smoke a very fine Krumble kake try king fisher! I'm gonna go try to find that old tin now ! Vincenzo

A good McClelland Virginia, with all the classic characteristics: a little ketchup flavour, cut in small pieces and easy to pack. Although it smokes pretty cool, it is difficult to keep lit and it bites a little, especially during the first puffs. Good, but nothing I will stock in my cellar.

I have tried this tobacco on different occasions and came up with the same results, I belive it is from the Zesty Lemon as it irritates me to where I start coughing. It is a fairly good tobacco and does smoke very well in my Eric Nording Moose and Wild Boar. It just makes me cough, but I will try this again later on down the road as it is a very enticing tobacco when you open the lid.
