Bulk Burley Flake?

[Chasing Embers]

While Virginia and VaPer flakes and coins are plentiful from various producers, does anyone offer a bulk Burley flake?

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake. Similar to Escudo. Not quite as peppery to me, and the added sweetness of a cavendish center. Available plentifully and cheap.

LBF's a VaPer. Looking for straight burley flakes in bulk. LBF is great though.

Wessex Burley Slice...It's a good one, IMO.
Sorry, I missed your "bulk" in heading. WBS is tinned.

D'Oh!!!! I totally mis-read your original post. :crazy: My bad. Changed your first word from "while" to "what."

That's okay. Seems strange to me that bulk burley flakes seem nonexistant. Have been searching for a couple of days, and it would seem that someone would have marketed it. Hmmm.

Peretti's in Boston offers a burley flake in bulk. It's a good one. Here is the web address. You'll find it under Tobacco/Flakes. Hope that helps.

Yes! Thanks gloucesterman! Keep 'em coming guys if you know of any.

Peretti's #8 (also under flakes) is Burley heavy.

:?: Bulk? Hmmm? The only thing close for me is Ulhe's Perfection Plug, but it's a cube cut. I'm no help.

IT's the least I can do for the Captain of the Black Frigate. Lieutenant of Marines.

Aye, Sir! It's very interesting that there is such a lack of burley flakes though. You can find multiple flakes of nearly all genres, but burley seems to be the black sheep. Is burley faltering in popularity, or is it more difficult to make flakes with?

 

[gloucesterman]

It's probably not a high demand blend. First it's flake and secondly it's a straight burley ( not very complex). When I'm in the mood there are two I will smoke. One is Peretti's Burley Slices and the other is Solani's Aged Burley Flake (not a bulk and a little pricy but I think the best there is). I have some aged Burley Slices jarred. Send me your address in a PM and I'll send you a sample to try. Keep in mind it has about five years on it so it's probably a bit more mellow that fresh stock. Dutch

Watch City Cigars has their Watch City Slices.
Been awhile since I had it, but it was a decent Burley Flake and offered in bulk.

Someone was asking about bulk burley cubes a few months ago. Doesn't C&D have something in this genre. I've been ocasionally smoking some of their Burley Flakes #1 and their Big and Burley bulk lately. Man o man, thats some good stuff. You'd like #1, but it's not a bulk.

Don't sweat getting it in bulk and try some of the C&D burley flake that's moderately priced.

Watch City Cigars has their Watch City Slices.

Thanks for the tip...I have some ordered.

+1 for Watch City Slices! I was able to try this last year thanks to the Box Pass. I'm a big fan!

Peretti's Burley Slice, haven't been avalible from their website for some time...

 

[cigrmaster]

chasingembers, have you considered that the reason there are so few burley flakes is that they taste like crap and no one wants to smoke them? :lol:
