This is the first bowl I've had of this blend that I have enjoyed, and was looking for other opinions on it. Pretty much tastes like a strongish straight burley to me.
Has Anyone Tried PS Cube Cut

That's pretty much all it is Boz. I bought a pound of it last summer and still working through it. Its a bit of a pain to get going but its a good straightforward smoke for me.
Yeah not real high on complexity...but it has some Vit-N. In the right pipe it actually smoked pretty well, I've had problems with it scorching my tongue.
Sillem's makes a very similar mix with vanilla as well in their Three Musketeers blend . The vanilla does not hang around long at all .
I would say no topping. Burley London Blend is in my opinion much better. Cube Cut can be a little harsh, London Blend is a little smoother and has some more nuances to it. Some of my issues could be technique related though.
Edit- I was reading a little and found that London Blend has a bit of flavoring maybe that makes the difference, but I think it also changes how they should be compared.

Sallow, I smoked a couple Oz's of BLB when I first picked up the pipe again but really didn't know one tobacco from the other so couldn't say which was better. Boz, I agree it does have a good kick of N but haven't had any tongue burn..yet.
Good stuff. Like any cube cut, the difficult part for me is not packing it too tight (gravity fill with just the slightest tamp at the top of the bowl) and needing a fair number of lights to get going. Once it finally is fired up, it's good burley
