The burley is toasty, earthy and nutty with a hint of oats, and just a little sweetness. Has a very light nic-hit. The strength and taste levels are mild. Won't bite, but has a small rough edge at times. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a consistent flavor. Needs few relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. An all day, one dimensional work and play smoke with a decent after taste. Can work as a mixer, too. Three stars no matter which way you intend to smoke it.

This is a very good, and the smoking experience is like Uhle's Blend 00 without the topping. It is mild and smooth with subtle sweet/nutty/toasty flavors. It is an easy smoke and came at a great moisture level. It smoked cool for me and was easy to keep lit. I realize the stuff is intended for blending, but it is a great smoke by itself.

If you are a fan of burley and don't mind mild/untopped, get some of this and you won't regret the purchase. As a bonus, it is a bargain.

Edit 1/26/15 I realized I was on my second pound of this, and it is time to update this review to a 3.5. It is simple and unassuming. It satisfies.

I bought this for blending but there's no way anyone can tell what a component does for a blend without getting to know each component. I intended to smoke a couple bowls of this straight but ended up smoking 8. It was probably more of a nostalgia thing than for the flavor, which can only be described as mild. There certainly is flavor but the smoker should go into this with a clean palate or they'll miss the subtleties. It has the usual burley nuttiness/toastiness and it burns very clean, if a little fast. As another poster mentioned, I found that the cut forced me to pack this easily. The aroma reminded me of my father's Carter Hall from years ago but the flavor lacked CH's top note that I find mildly offensive.

As a blender, this does just what it's supposed to do - it tones down a heavy blend and increases its body without adding its own commentary. I mixed this with a heavy latakia blend (50% latakia, 40% virginia, 10% oriental) which yielded a blend that didn't make my mouth feel like Normandy Beach during WWII - a great improvement! I also added this to that same latakia blend, added some blending orientals and a dash of perique and got something that, while not suitable for sale, was interesting enough for me to finish.

This is a nice, unassuming mix of mostly straight burley. It won't knock your socks off but it's very gentlemanly indeed for those times you just want to relax and not notice your tobacco... if you ever have those times.

Peter Stokkebye - Burley (No.702).

Even if this is intended for blending, it's a cracking smoke on its own!

It's coarse cut, a mixture of different shades of brown, and only a touch too moist.

The smoke's a very high quality Burley one. The nutty/toasty/rustic side outweighs any sweetness from the Cavendish process. Because the Burley's causticity leads, the sweet flavour comes through very mildly. It burns well, needing very little attention.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.

I find No.702 a four star Burley.

Highly recommended.

Bought this for blending. Lacks the strength I was seeking. Should have read these reviews first. Oops!

I find myself reaching for this blend whenever I want a mild yet flavorful burley. The quality of the leaf is exceptional and is good to go right out of the bag. It is most likely uncased and if there is anything it would be the slightest sugar to round it all out. I am a burley lover and this definitely does it for me.

Burley lovers ought to try this extra-smooth, steamed, Tennessee-type leaf. It is of very good quality even if, to my decadent tongue, it tastes a bit like a Communion wafer.

Might it also blend well with some sharp-toothed Virginia out there begging to be tamed?

I'm a burley piper. Don't like aromatics at all. Hate the smell and goop. Could give a hoot less about the analysis of room note, etc. (if you don't like what I'm smoking - leave the area). This is now my official go to tobacco. Mixes with anything, especially good with Prince Albert or just a really good, satisfying smoke all by itself. After 50 years of trying everything under the sun, this hits it out of the park (or pipe).

I like Burley and blends that contain Burley, so I bought some of this blend from a friend who was thinning his cellar. This is a ribbon cut that is easy to light and stays lit comparatively well. It is very mild and does not bite; it will be good for blending with a nippy Virginia or other blend that needs to be tamed down. For nicotine strength, it is mild as well. For smoking by itself, it is rather tasty though somewhat plain. If plain, mild, unadorned Burley is what you are after, this is a good tobacco to buy. This was smoked in a Sunrise Canadian and a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman.

I bought an oz. of this on a whim from a flyby-night tobacco joint in Bend, OR. a few years ago in 1999. At the time I smoked a few bowls and it left me wondering why I just didn't wait until they got my favorite Cav in at the Specialty Cigar store. I decided it's only hope was to cellar it. Well I just got around to opening it up today and give it a second try. Well, 3 years later and it tastes the same, and yes, I DO know how to age tobacco. If I'd thrown in some good pungent cutter grade with it, there may have been a chance to salvage this, but as it is, it is the most bland, unimaginative WEED I have wasted my money on. Not worth dirtying my pipe with. There is an old adage that goes like this: you get what you pay for.

This is the same review I gave for Virginia Q, bought at the same store, at the same time. It's base tobacco, and a bad one at that.
