It’s the one burley blend on the market which I wish I could get my hands on purely out of intrigue. From what I can gather it is made by K&K, or another European factory, and is sits more of the burley spectrum of Wessex burley slices, ABF, and Macbaren golden extra as opposed to C&D.
Sounds like I should pick up a few tins to try it out. Is it a new blend? I’m just curious why there is very little on it.
If it's really good, smokers tend to be very tight lipped about those. Much talked about blends rarely stay in stock.
This was my thoughts too…also, us burley smokers are pretty set in our ways and the higher price tag on the tin could be an obstacle
This thread finally broke my resolve. Curiosity killed the cat or whatever you say. I’ve just placed an order through NZs only tobacconist, I will get one tin to try. I’m not saying how much it will cost. It makes me sad.
I find The Hiking to be excellent. ABF is deep and rich, Burley Slices is very agricultural/grape nuts cereal ish and The Hiking sits right in the middle to me. Excellent blend that is currently easy to obtain and fairly priced compared to the other two.
As a side note I dry all my flakes to a crisp and smoke them more like you would a VA blend to unlock their flavors.

Mods. Close and delete this thread until we have gotten our cellar fill please
It's a Sutliff/Mac Baren blend so it could be made in Europe. It's not a brand listed on the Kohlhase & Kopp website so its probably not made by them.
