I haven't seen this blend talked about very much on here so I figured I would give y'all my thoughts on it. I don't consider myself knowledgable enough to give a formal review, so I'll just speak my mind. First of all I am a big fan of Classic Burley Kake and Carter Hall, so was expecting something along those lines with this blend. I believe Briar Fox is described as a crumble cake but really it's a plug. So I cut a sliver off rubbed it out and loaded of my MM country gent. I use balsa filters with my cobs to help reduce the draw and keep ash out of my mouth. The moister level right out of the tin is perfect. 1 match light and off I go. One of the best burning tobaccos I have smoked. Very generous amounts of smoke, started a little hot so I slowed my pace a bit. First half of the bowl smoked good, but the flavor I found lacking. It's very subdued. The only time I had to relight is when I went inside to fix a glass of iced tea. Figured I would try and cleanse my palate a little to try and detect some more flavor. The last half was slightly better for flavor but not much. Relight was easy and burned to the bottom of the bowl with no bite. If this blend had more flavor it would be top notch in my book. But after this tin is gone I will stick to CBK and CH for my burley fix. Nicotine was there. I'm fresh off of getting my ass knocked out by a cigar last night so I know the feeling of nicotine. It was just enough to be relaxing but not over the top. So about medium for nicotine. So anyway fellas that's my thoughts on Briar Fox. Good, but not game changing great.
