Has that same kind of wholesome and satisfying aroma and flavor too
Right?? Like somehow I just KNOW that a bowl of this is part of a complete breakfast.
C. Everett Koop wouldn't approve, but he never smoked and died anyway. What does that tell you. ?
Naw, it's nice and chonky and in good case. Dried SWR explodes into dust. This doesn't. I'm doing some drywalling right now, will fire up a bowl later.

Good deal! I've never smoked Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match but hear it's a good smoke. Maybe one day. For now, I smoke Sir Walter Raleigh from the can pretty much everyday and love it.
If you like Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match it's worth trying Stokkebye PS41 Cube Cut sometime. More of a fruity taste though. I like them both. The cube cut makes for long smokes.
One side of the stairwell drywalled; time for a bowl. Scoops and packs well, takes to a flame nicely.
A thing to know about me is I like to inhale every 5th puff or so. I smoke like I eat or make love, which is to say ardently, adroitly and con gusto. That said, where Granger's molasses topping tends to flare and sear (which is totally not their fault), this has more of a nutty granola cocoa thing going on, which affably complies with my greedy suckling.
3 months into piping and I've realized that while there's an entire galaxy of pipes and tobaccos out there, I tend to be utilitarian in nature and have zeroed in more on burleys and VaPers, smoked in cobs. Sort of like how I'm a car guy and have worked in the industry my whole life, but in fact daily a 2016 Kia Soul manual (quite possibly the dullest car since the Chrysler K cars). Again, utilitarianism at work.
Good smoke!

Another blend that has that same 'texture' of cut going on (besides SWR already mentioned) is sugar barrel (bucket?) I forget if it is bucket or barrel, but sutliff sell it in bulk, and it tastes to me like the sweet component of the edgeworth match. Along with SWR, I tend to scoop a bowlful, or gravity fill rather than pack. Nice smokes all three!
I never smoke straight Burley. I smoke Virginia's with a bit of burley in it or better yet, I smoke Virginia with Kentucky like Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky or Stonehaven or Old Dark Fired or Solani 660 Silver Flake, Peterson Irish Flake, just to name a few. I hate straight Burley. I thought I would love Solani ABF but couldn't stand it, I was very surprised.
SugerBarrel? Same Middleton plastic bucket that both Carter Hall and Prince Albert reside. I just smoked a bowl of SugerBarrel — I have a full tub that I visit from time to time. It’s got a creamy mouth feel and of course — it’s sweetened burley. It’s not a favorite but it does have very unique and pronounced, albeit one dimensional taste. I can see why it was an all day smoking favorite for so many.
I looked back, and it is 'sugar bucket' that I have been smoking, it is a sutliff bulk blend and I do not remember if it was some kind of match for the barrel, or just a similar name.
