Burley Based Blends

[Swampfox]

I’m finding as I sample more tobaccos I really enjoy VaPers. In particular I like the bready, fruity, tangy flavors. I have yet to try many burley blends. I recently accidentally ordered a small quantity of Haunted Bookshop and love it. In particular I like the nutty/woody flavor that I attribute to the burley? I feel it enhances the flavors I mentioned above that draws me to the VaPers. With this in mind do any of y’all have any suggestions of other burley based blends to try?

Briar Fox is a VaBur that's pretty good.
You should try some semois too if you can

Many good suggestions have been offered, so I won't duplicate them. I will add Wilke Wall Street, which is a BurPer with 30% perique.

5brothers i am mad for it. The whole c&d burly flake lines are top notch even if not looking for burly. The 1st suggestion is burly in a beautifully raw sense the flakes are good at show burly as the star but enhanced by other means. They have a creative flair.

Thanks for the replies! I’ve been reading about briar fox and I think it’s next on the list. I tend to buy small bulk samples for cost reasons when trying new tobacco so I will see if the others are available in that format. I’ve only found briar fox in tins. I love that in an hour y’all probably gave me a years worth of “homework.” Maybe after a couple of years I’ll even find a favorite. Right now it always seems to be the last thing I smoked…

Didn’t even know BurPers were a thing. ?

It was my idea that I gave to John Brandt

A lot of C&D's Burley mixture offerings are available in bulk.

Jeez. Add Carter Hall and you have 100 percent of the tobaccos I smoke. Nailed it.

Heh, I've actually never tried Carter Hall. I keep meaning to throw some in with my next order but I always forget. I've been on a Granger kick as far as OTCs go recently.

I was smoking Amphora Burley a lot at work then I ran out. I found a jar of semois and picayune that I got a couple years ago and that's been perfect because I don't need to dry it out any.

Obviously, you've never had the pleasure of hanging out with me during and after consumption of large amounts of carbonated beverages...

Sounds like you're into the savory side of burley blends rather than the sweet side. Although burley isn't sweet in itself it's often used in a lot of sweet aro-style blends because it accepts topping well. In any event, you might like the C&D Burley Flake series. Quite tasty for burley fans (plus, no aros)

I'm intrigued. I don't believe I've ever had a blend that is burley and perique only. I just ordered 4 oz to try.

Thank you for the heads-up, Jim. I just ordered some to try.

Burleys that I enjoy in bulk are PS 41 cube cut, Sutliff ready rub match for Lane limited, Velvet (very light), Pegasus, Burley light without bite ( Lane limited BL/WB and Golden Extra. Good luck!

Many of the "codger blends" are burley based and actually pretty good. Simple and tasty. Sir Walter Raleigh comes to mind, very cheap, you could get a pouch to try and then move on to the tub if you like it.

Try Winchester from C&D. It’s a real sleeper. Superior Red Virginia/Burley blend. Much flavor and it’s tobacco providing all of it.

I highly recommend trying some C&D Dark Burley, straight. It'll really give you the feel for what burley is before it is blended, toasted, flavored, etc. (Five Brothers, mentioned above, will also serve this purpose but I find C&D dark to be smoother and gentler, though still strong). I have found that my favorite smoke is simply C&D dark burley mixed with a pinch of their white.
