Smokingpipes has 20 tins of BLB in stock and 4noggins has a bunch as well. Why don't you just buy all they have and then you don't have to worry about finding a replacement blend?
Since I have not tried it I can only recommend another blend that I enjoy and that is H&H's Classic Burley Cake.
It's a Bur/Va with a touch of rum / cocoa flavor.
It's very mild, flavorful and forgiving to the occasional heavy puffing.
Good luck and Happy Smoking! :

BLB is one I'd been wanting to try, so I ordered me a couple of tins. It sucks that they are discontinuing some of these blends, especially some of the older ones.
Billp, McBaren Golden Extra is Burley London Blend without the top flavoring. I love them both. Try Golden Extra.
As for suggestions, I haven't smoked BLB yet, so I have nothing to compare it to. But if it's a good burley you're looking for, Lane BLWB, Scotty's Butternut Burley, Middleton's Sugar Barrel, Boswell premium Burley and Carter Hall are all great choices!
i also liked BLB - guys on this site put me onto it & it was great - 4 noggins has butternut burley which i ordered but how is golden extra compared to butternut as replacements - what is diff between golden extra & butternut burley ?
I don't know about matching the Mac Baren Burley London Blend, but if you can look at the constituent tobaccos besides the burley, then study the bulk and tinned blends by Cornell & Diehl, I think you will find some excellent burley inclusive blends in considerable variety. Right now, C&D is the master blender using burley. You can sample around in one ounce quantities until you find a few you really like. Mild to full strength, condiments in a wide variety.
