I find I'm not smoking straight burley most of the time. Burley based a lot, perhaps.
Codger blends and most straight burley blends are topped or cased.
Most cavendish is burley. (he said with confidence).
Yes, it seems like most Burley blends have some added Virginia, or DFK (or both like some favorites of mine), and/or some added flavors. I believe the Solani 656 is 100% Burley leaf, but it's definitely got a little extra flavoring added.

I wish they did not all taste bitter to me. I like the taste for about 5 seconds and then the bitterness starts hammering me. Toasted Burley is less bitter but alas PS quit making it. Also, Dark Fired does not seem to bother me either.
