Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Rum Twist
Wish it came in ribbon form.
I really enjoy the flavor of this tobacco. I just wish it came in ribbon form as prepping it is a gigantic PITA. It also came very moist and had to be dried out a bit. It's also hard to keep lit, due to it's moisture content, but once you get a bowl going it very pleasing.

To Burley and Beyond...
First, this is excellent tasting burley. It has a naturally sweet nuttiness to it. Secondly, the thin, shag cut is brilliant. It breathes incredibly well and can still be packed tight. Thirdly, this is some of the strongest tobacco I've smoked to date and this comes from a cigarette and cigar smoker who walks around with a nicotine pouch in his mouth 24/7. I mean it's, Spinal Tap level, strong. It goes to 11. More power to whoever smokes this straight. I recommend blending it about 3 to 1 with your favorite aromatic. Custard Conspiracy and 1982 pair well with it.
Cornell & Diehl - Crooner
My Daily Driver
This IS Burley. It's quickly become my favorite daily driver. No bite. Warm, nutty, slightly sweet, goodness. There are other blends I smoke, but I'm usually wishing it was Crooner.

Back of the drawer...
Edited: I tried a couple more bowls. Up front, I do not like perique. While this is listed as a burley blend I found the perique to be up and in your face. I couldn't finish a bowl before my mouth and tongue were on fire.

Ehh...
I found it to be mostly tasteless. Not bad. Not good.
HU - Khoisaan 100g
Very, very good!
I'm not really an English blend guy. I much prefer Burley leaf. I find most of them similar to that smell and taste you get when you walk into a new tire store, but I tried this one anyway hoping I might find one that I liked. I was not disappointed. It has all the typical English blend smells and flavors, but in such a subtle and warm kind of way. The flavors are there but they don't smack you in the face. More like a hug.
Mac Baren - Navy Flake 3.5oz
Crack....for a more discerning pallet.
This stuff is addictive. You have to take it "low and slow" and just let the smoke gently caress your tongue, but the flavors burst all over your mouth like juicy fruit. I salivate the entire time I'm smoking it. My favorite by far.
