I recently bought some of the Match Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. It comes in a cube cut. This is the first such blend that I've had with that kind of cut. I had a hell of a time keeping it lit. Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks in terms of working with this kind of cut, or even this blend specifically?

Cube cut was the way most of the American burley blends were made back in the day. My preference is to pack the bowl on the loose side. At least that's what works for me.
Yeah, I wanted to try it because I've enjoyed a few other burley blends lately, and I wanted to see if I could find a regular blend for my rotation that's mostly burley with just a bit of added flavor. It tastes great, but I'm going to need to work on getting it to smoke a little easier for me.
There are a lot of cube-cut burley based blends out there. Spent a couple hours looking at various "burley-based" blends yesterday. So far I have had great success with the MATCH blends as far as my taste is concerned. I like the quality, taste, and price. Will add this one to the mix.
I smoked another bowl this morning, and I think it just needs more time to dry. I worked it over a bit, rubbing it through my fingers, and let it sit for a while. I noticed that it was a lot moister than I first thought.
Taste-wise, it's everything I was hoping for. Very nice.

And Jim, your review was one that sold me on trying it. Along with Classic Burkey Kake, I am really enjoying these lightly aromatic burley blends.
Are these kinds of blends similar to what are referred to as OTC/drugstore burleys like Carter Hall or Prince Albert?

I used to have with ERR match lighting and staying lit. Loose fill 2/3 bowl then take a pinch or two of cubes and rub in your palm until it is small fine pieces. Then load on top of cube cut. Then you have a more consistent level surface to light. It burns better that way for me.
Yeah that's good stuff. Love it. I also rub it out just a tad to break it up slightly. That dries it a little quicker and seems to burn fine after that
