I think what I most liked about it was the fact (to me) it had little or very light flavoring. I also found it was strong in nicotine. I primarily started smoking again for the taste, but I do like blends with more nicotine. Always have.
Anyone Know Why Solani Aged Burley Flake is So Scarce Lately?

Give some Wessex burley slice a go while ya wait (if you haven’t already).
Watch City Slices may be to you're liking.
I'm considering that, I was actually just browsing their shop earlier searching for Solani and I saw they had some Burley. Have to give that a try!
Yes that one looks quite good! Have you ever tried Five Brothers? I wasn't sure if it was actual Pipe tobacco or RYO tobacco. I don't have any problem with RYO but sometimes they put a lot of additives which I don't like.
I haven’t actually. I have always wanted to, and a friend recently came across a pouch, so I’m looking forward to tying it one day.
I really like GH Kendal Kentucky as another suggestion. I would say go through C&D’s and GLPease’s range and see if anything stands out.
If you are thinking along lines of 5bros, especially if it’s the allure of “uncased tobacco”, place a whole leaf order at WLT and play around
The classic explanations for chronic ineptitude include:
being dropped on one's head in early youth-
bad genes/bad nurture-
trauma/addiction-
radioactive exposure-
And so it goes.
I try to marshall such explanations against the phenomena of tobacco preference such as are found in this very thread; that is, a love for Captain Black Grape, and elsewhere in a love for Mixture 79.
To this observer barbaric swill! Hideous concoctions of blending houses with too much time on their hands! The disastrous imputation of flavoring on a sacred organic substance!
(Now don't get your britches in a twist. A lot of the above is posturing and hopefully in good fun.)

Well there goes at least half of stuff comping out of Kendal
Virtually every finished tobacco product has "additives" to some degree or other. The exception being whole leaf tobacco.
Five Brothers is regarded to be rather additive free. It's a pure, simple, no-nonsense Burley shag. Pretty affordable, so why not throw a pouch's worth into a small jar and try it?
Have a tin in the cellar but haven't tried this one yet. Really like Tropical Mango Flake and Festival is not too bad either. Have a few of the color blends on wish list and hope they can clear up any supply issues.
Not at all, I've seen it happen too many times over the past several years. Blend of the week goes out of stock for months. Forum eyes aren't the only ones reading here.
Respectfully though, how can you relate that to this forum specifically? I mean there are plenty other forums and clubs out there. We were all "non-forum" members once looking for advice. The internet is much bigger than this forum obviously. Could you imagine our grandfathers sittin around smoking pipes and my grand father says to yours, "what ya smokin?" and your grandfather sayin', "if I tell ya, you're gonna go to the pharmacy and clean them outta my brand!". Just seems a weird way to look at it. Anyway I'm off topic on this thread. That's all I will say on the matter. Peace. Happy smokin'.
You're talking about world wide viewership, not just a couple of people talking and many of us on here are on every other forum not to mention this forum in particular's ties to the major online tobacco retailers, and you called it out without seeing it first hand.
@chasingembers So you’re the reason ABF is out of stock. Thanks for posting about it the other well bro 
No, I bought it all, get your facts straight.?@chasingembers So you’re the reason ABF is out of stock. Thanks for posting about it the other well bro
Not to mention 99% of the time a Google search ends up leading to this forum...
