So I am new to this lifestyle as I'll call it. In my short month I have been smoking I have grown found of my local tobacconist house blend burley. I am writing to see if there are any burleys that could be recommended. Thanks

Go to one of our online sponsors, and then to Cornell & Diehl tobaccos both tinned and bulk (sold in baggies). C&D is at the forefront of burley blends and has scores of blends. I'd buy in small quantities and sample a selection. You might like Billy Budd, Old Joe Krantz, and many others.
Many will recommend Haunted Bookshop and Burley Without Bite
I'm currently smoking Mac Baren Golden Extra (or Golden Blend if you are in Europe). This stuff is mild but tasty. I'm also a big fan of Peterson Irish Flake and Peterson University Flake.

Another place to check out is Uhle's. Many of their blends date back to the late 1930's and 1940's. Some fine burley blends by them. Good luck with your progress.
Being the Aromatic nut that I am, Cornell & Diehl Crooner is pretty good. Some people say it could ghost your pipe, I might agree.
I'd have no objection to a straght cube cut Burley either.
Check out Five Brothers for the lowest maintenance smoke you will ever find.

I like Billy Budd, Carter Hall and Captain Black. You might want to try some Dark Fired Kentucky, Id suggest War Horse Ready-Cut or get a Kentucky Dark Fired Step Ladder Sampler from P&C

By all means support our sponsors; they make this site possible. However, one of the finest is Pipeworks and Wilke Nut Brown Burley.
I have some burley blends, but have ordered a fair amount of this for blending, and it blends real good:
"Peter Stokkebye 312 Toasted Burley is a new addition to the lineup. This nutty Burley is gently toasted which helps to remove bitterness and adds more depth to the flavor. This is a particularly good tobacco to use when you want to lighten the flavor of a blend."

I spent years smoking nothing but Carter Hall. Up until recently I have taken advice from the great guys here and have discovered 702 burley by Peter Stokkebye. It has become my new favorite, mixed with Carter Hall or smoked by itself.
