The tobacco taste is negligible more often than not. You get a light honey, grass note from the Virginia, a very tame nuttiness from the burley, and maybe a hint of vanilla from the black cavendish. Mostly what you experience is blueberry and maple, though the tobaccos do show just a mite in the last quarter of the smoke. The blueberry topping does seem to fade a little after the half way point, and the maple becomes more noticeable, but you’ll get the berries all the way through. The nic-hit is mild to medium. It may need a little dry time. Burns at a slow to average pace and should be puffed at a moderate rate for best effect. Won’t bite. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but you can smoke it to ash without much difficulty. Smooth, a little creamy and buttery from start to finish, it has a nice after taste and a great room note.

Scotty's Pancake.
As you can see here it's a touch coarse rather than being over-rubbed, has a higher amount of Burley and Virginia, mine had decent moisture and the smell is perplexing; it doesn't give an adumbration of blueberries or fruit, the only casing, to me, is maple/sweetness. Maybe mine's a dud, or the recipe has changed? Albeit, either way, this pouch is a good smoke!
Igniting a bowl is an undemanding affair, a few touches of my lighter are enough to set it up for a substantial burn. Then, the smoke? Well, the same situation as I found with the pre-light aroma; berries, where? Instead I get a hearty amount of maple. This is sweet, a tad ambrosial/fragrant, quite sticky, but I don't taste blueberries. The tobaccos are comprised of mainly Burley and black Cavendish, which collaborate to form a 'doughy' flavour. The others are miles behind; but the formidable casing would make it difficult for any sweetness from the Cavendish to shine through. I get no tongue bite even if I puff with pantagruelian force.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: nice.
Scotty's Pancake? I'm not going to say I taste loads of the fruit just to 'fit in', as I can't. What I taste is very sweet, somewhat bready, and reminiscent of a maple pancake; not a blueberry one. A maple smoke deserving three stars:
Recommended.

As with all aromatics preparation is key! Moisture content and smoking pace have the biggest effect on the enjoyability of any blend and this one is no different.
The tin/bag note (whathaveyou) is the same smell that greets you when you open a box of blueberry pancake mix from the store. The butter laced flour mixes wonderfully with the tin of blueberries as you first PPP them open.
This blend reminds me of a certain frozen pancake you could buy at the store in a blue box... Hungry jack? Log cabin? Jemima?
The berry smell stays with you on your false light as the first puff or two is berrylicious. After you settle into your cadence the berry note is blended nicely with the "pancake batter topping". Occasionally the berry will go from "blue" to "red" but it always compliments the other flavors. Make sure you give this blend the slow sipping it deserves or all you will taste is harsh acrid tobacco! You'll know when you're going too fast because the blend will instantly lose its flavor.
As you work your way through the bowl the bright berry note begins to give way to some butter and a maple sweetness. Retro or French inhaling at this point will give you a wonderful blend of everything and you'll swear there is a syrup soaked flapjack dancing through your mouth.
As you continue on the butter and berry fade out into a wonderful maple with a hint of pepper. The bowl ends about when you keep searching for that last bit of sweetness and then it's just ashy and time to go face your day after a hearty breakfast.
