I trust @jiminks and looked to his reviews as well, but I am still on the fence. I am caught between PS proper English and C&D's super balkan, since it has Burley in it and I'm a burleyphile...

Buy both. Problem solved.
I know from years on Forums, my tastes aren't typical, but a few of my favorite bulk English blends are C&D Billy Budd, Old Joe Krantz (Elderly Joseph Krantz) original, Stratfordshire, Tuggle Hall, and PS English Luxury. I guess C&D Big'n'Burley is an English, or anyway it's good.
I like every one of those!
Unless your budget is under $20 There's no reason not to get at least one jar of each.
Almost forgot one of my favorites.... Boswell’s Northwoods!? Though if you’re not into heartier blends, they also offer Imperial English... a sort of mellow English.
(Their Mild, And their Magnum are just TOO mild for me)
Also forgot Peretti ... I love their Royal blend. Omega’s good too... but it’s a REALLY hearty blend.

2019, bought four of those bags when pipestud mentioned that even Cyprian may be going away. Great blender for 5100 and aromatics.I'm wondering how old that photo is
Were you afraid that you'd miss out once it was gone, or were you assisting to help bring on it's demise?
Marketing potential and it makes a decent cigarette.Were you afraid that you'd miss out once it was gone, or were you assisting to help bring on it's demise?
I'll echo what's been said. For me it's Father Dempsey, Sutliff Match Balkan Sobranie Original Smoking Mixture, C&D Stratfordshire, C&D Engine #99, and PS17 Luxury English. Also try out some (all) of the Peretti Englishes.
I'll put in a good word for Stokkebye's English Oriental.
I've been cellaring a lot of C&D lately. Super Balkan, Stratfordshire, Cordial, SOTE Gold, and Habna Daydream. I also have both Sobranie matches and Match 20, as well as Lancers Slices. And one of these...http://www.ryosupply.com/raba16bag.html. Balkan blends and oriental blends are my bread and butter.
I'm going for pound bags
I smoked through an ounce of C&D Super Balkan a few months ago and liked it enough to order a couple pounds. Can't go wrong with this one IMHO
I just cellared 6 more lbs of tobacco. 1 lb each of super balkan, OJK, Pegasus, PS LNF, C&D Dark Burley, and Oak Alley. End of the year gonna have a cigar Lieberman (I still have a lot of cigar whole leaf), high quality crank tobacco shredder and a bunch of whole leaf and casings. I have 27lbs currently, 4 of which is whole leaf pipe tobacco. I would like to have 40lbs before the new year. That should last me about 9-10 years.
