Before I begin this review, I must give credit to Bob Runowski for telling me about this great old time blend. I hold Bob's tobacco opinions in the highest esteem and when he told me I should try ERRd, there was nothing else to do but send an order off to JR's.
ERRd comes in two forms, a pouch and a 14 oz. can. Bob assured me that the cans were better so that's what I ordered. After about a week it arrived and I eagerly opened it.
I'm not an expert on tobacco cuts so I don't know the exact term for the ERRd cut, but it packs very easily with either the gravity feed or pinch method. In the can it has an aroma of burley with slight chocolate overtones. I've heard a rumor that it's cased with chocolate but don't know if it's true. It lights easily with one match and needs a minimum of relights during the smoke. This would be a great tobacco for the beginning pipe smoker because of this.
The flavor of ERRd has a toasted nuttiness that compares favorably with the best premium burley blends that I have smoked. I can smoke this tobacco bowl after bowl without ever tiring of it. It smokes right down to the bottom of the bowl without leaving any dottle. My wife has not mentioned the room note so it must be OK.
Overall I would give ERRd my highest recommendation. When price if figured into the equation, it becomes even more appealing. I can buy a 14 oz. can at JR's for $19.95. Compare that to other bulks that are selling for $30+ a lb. If you like burley, you should give this one a try.
