I like burley and lat combo blends as of late. I have Big n Burley, Morely's best, H&H Beverwyc, and I just worked through and ounce of Project Xylophone from Smokers haven only to find it is no longer listed on their website so I assume it's not available. What other similar burley/lat forward or American English blends am I missing.

H&H Beverwyck would definitely have made the list if you didn't already have it.

A few more that come to mind:
C&D - Billy Budd

C&D - Epiphany

Middleton - Walnut

4 Noggins - Bald Headed Teacher

4 Noggins - El Rincon de la pipa #1 (more Burley flavor when dry, more Oriental when moist)

+1 Epiphany - a great smoke, nice balance of latakia and burley. As papipeguy mentioned, C&D blends this very well.

+1 Billy Budd and other C&D blends. Though it isn't a Lat blend, I think you would

probably like GL Pease Triple Play, a plug.

Epiphany is a great blend! Great thread, I was looking for some suggestions in this area myself.

Another non-Lat blend, with Va, burley, and Perique, you might like is C&D's Old Joe Krantz.

Many burley fans really like this one, as I do. Lat's good but not all interesting non-aro burley

blends need it.

Under C&D bulk blends meeting these criteria I would mention Odessa. I keep some here, a half pound or so, and do enjoy it. (Not Red Odessa, however. That one has Red Virginia instead of burley, and is much sweeter.)

Snag, I've smoked Spilman Mixture and Distinguished Gentleman. Spliman reminds me of real old time American lat blends. I happen to like it a lot. Distinguished Gentleman is more of a crossover almost similar to Lane's HGL- a tad on the sweet side.

On the whole, two nice blends that can be smoked all day.
