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.

I would agree with other reviewers that this blend should only be used for blending. Smoking it straight is a bland prospect. Burley and cavendish are traditionally blending tobaccos, and although some wonderful tobaccos feature a burley base, this blend is almost straight burley. Trying to describe the taste of this tobacco is like trying to describe the taste of pure water - there's just nothing there. It is neither pleasant nor offensive, just flat.

This Burley is so very mild- you taste the creamyness of the smoke only. I used it to blend.
BETTER PICK: ORLIK GOLDEN SLICE OR DARK KENTUCKY, OR GL PEASE BARBARY COAST

Nothing for me here. I love PS's blends but this bit like the devil and I was expecting something along the lines of MB Burley from the name. There is no "pressed" tobacco (MB Burley looks like a partially rubbed out flake) and it was more cavendish cut than anything else. There is a topping here that I can't figure out because it's not as nice as the typical honey thing the Danes normally do. I won a pound of it in a contest and wound up giving/throwing it all away. Nowhere near as good as a Burley can be...
