Burley Broadcut

Burley Broadcut is the Burley-forward member of the Wessex series. As the name indicates, it's offered in a broadly cut, broken-flake structure, suited to being rubbed out by hand before packing into the pipe. Burley leaf carries the structure, while Virginia provides sweetness and burn balance.

The taste revolves around nut, dry cocoa, and earthy tones; due to Burley's low sugar content, the smoke runs dry and plain, with little tendency to bite the tongue. According to records, a light flavoring accompanies the cut, but the character leans toward natural tobacco rather than aromatic. It suits those seeking a slow-burning, lightly cased everyday blend.
