No. 29

No. 29 is a Peter Heinrichs blend built from very soft Burley leaf. Per the maker's account, the leaves are processed with a sweet flavoring, then roasted, rested under pressure for a long time, and cut into small cubes. This cubic cut gives a slow, cool burn, suitable for setting the pipe aside and picking it back up later.

On the palate, Burley's nutty, bready base comes forward; the flavoring leaves a light sweetness recalling caramel, honey, and pastry. Nicotine strength is measured and bite is kept low. It suits smokers who want to steer clear of heavily flavored blends and are seeking a lightly flavored Burley for all-day smoking, as well as those wanting to try cube cut.
