Blending - Cube Cut

Got it to try as a solo and compared it to two others. As a blender, it positively enhances both Prince Albert and Half&Half. Adding about 1/3 in volume, it mellows the flavor and slows the burning rate of two of my favorite every day smokes. The cube cut keeps it away from adding to ribbon cuts...it just doesn’t stay mixed in well so most of my favorite English blends won’t see this one. As a solo smoker, it got beaten by C&D cube cut Burley which is apparently intended for such. It’s also a good blender but with a smaller cube size. As a solo, packing, lighting and puffing requires several relights and doesn’t hit me with much flavor or aroma. I’ve been a Burley smoker since 1968 and still miss my favorite which was a Missouri grown and processed Cube Cut Burley from Jon’s in Clayton, MO...back a long time ago. The four star rating only considers one down side and that’s solo smoking it. Otherwise, an excellent blender when mixed and given two or three days to marry with my OTC faves.

Large bulky cubes so bring a large chamber. May appear dry, but, it's not. Elevated nicotine in the 3.5 range, while not being crazy with nicotine, it is up there. Burns medium. Overall impression, more bitter than sour. Usually I just smoke these straight out of the bag, this one doesn't do it for me though. Actual score 3 stars. 4th star added because it's available and may be part of someones masterpiece.
