    Burley Taste

    I think it's the high pH in burley. If driven too hard the flavor can turn too aciditic and bitter. The dark cocoa, coffee, nutty notes are best when puffed slowly with a coffee if you drink it.

    Raleigh substitute

    I've never had SWR, but I understand it's similar to Granger, which can be found in bigger tubs. Or try sutliff Ready Rubbed like @Piping Abe suggested.

    Burley Taste

    Burley forward with a bit of cav and VA and a rum topping. It's quite good fresh, but is fantastic with 3 years or more age in my experience. The tobacco really starts to shine.

    First Time Major Nic Hit

    I don't feel nicotine until I stand up. Nice relaxing smokes are why I do it, I'm glad you found a way to achieve it for yourself.

    Burley Taste

    I agree with the above, burley is a great driving smoke. However, some burleys are complex and great for any occasion. That's why burley is the best, with virginia and oriental coming in a close second.

    Commuter/Outside Smoking

    I agree, I'll bring maximum 2 blends, but they have to be very different from each other. It's a great way to really get to know a blend.

    Olive Coffee Anyone?

    If I could never drink milk again, I would definitely substitute with oat milk, and I'd be perfectly happy. I hate the almond vanilla stuff, but oat goes well with coffee indeed.

    Olive Coffee Anyone?

    I've tried butter in coffee, not my thing, but it wasn't bad at all. I would try olive oil infused coffee at least once.

    Not So Dry Tobacco.

    One of the reasons C&D has become my favorite blending house, their tobaccos are usually ready to smoke right away. I hate fussing about with drying my tobacco.

    Opinion about a YouTuber

    Man, I used to watch your videos all the time. You and Bremen got me into meers. I was wondering what happened to you, I'm glad to hear you're doing well and have found a smoking companion.

    Briar fox in a Barling second bulldog. Half way through this tin, this blend has been officially upgraded to "buy it again" status. Just a straight forward no nonsense blend. I recommend it.
