This tobacco offers superb flavors, with subtle hints of cocoa, particularly noticeable on the retrohale. There’s no significant topping to speak of—ignore any reviews claiming it's "egregiously topped." This is pure tobacco. It burns cool and even, making it a perfect all-day smoke if it weren’t for its small batch availability. I'm pleased I ordered extra to age in my cellar. The flavor becomes increasingly complex as you progress through the bowl. If you can find it, give it a try, even if you're not a fan of Burleys.
