If You Like Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky...
What else should I try? I've been experimenting with Burleys and Burley blends. A number I have tried I just don't care for our find them mediocre. I find the Orlik DSK very smooth, sweet and pleasant. It is a bit mild. Harris recommended Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired RR. I like that quite a bit...- hoosierpipeguy

Gatlin Burley and Newfound
Got a couple of ounces of each this past week. The Gatlin Burley is what they call an American English, a special Burley leaf plus some latakia. It didn't require much drying, was just about right out of the bag. The flavor was dominated by the Burley. I got mostly sweet and light vanilla notes...- hoosierpipeguy
