Would Morley's Best count as a Burley? I know it has a little Virginia but most of the reviews say it is hard to detect. I am about to place an order including that and war horse ready cut.

Great recommendations all around.
I personally enjoy Uhles blends, Prince Albert in the red can, and the Midtown burleys from pipesandcigars. Of them, probably Uhles is unmatched in real quality, but the others are kind of familiar old stand bys that I like from time to time... that's what burley is to me, familiar and easy going. Dark fired burley is more intense, and while I like that now and again, it's kind of like experiencing an old friend having a hardcore day - sometimes best left alone ;)

Ogdens walnut(now called original) Irish flake are my preferred blends you can still get.

The best (by a country mile) burley forward blend:

I'm sure that's some pipe connoisseur accessory but it looks like a bar of soap to me

The Pueblo tobacco humidifying stone is discontinued. Here in the States there are other brands. RAW makes an inexpensive one.

Update:
Solani Aged burley Flakes........I'm ruined
This stuff is just insane. I think I could smoke it all day everyday, which I really don't need. The earthy taste just gets better with every bowl, seems like just some faint cocoa gets picked up every once in a while. I don't know what to do with myself. I haven't really started a rotation. So ABF is where it will start. If anyone knows another burley that has a chocolate note to it please let me know.

If no one has mentioned Burley Flake #1, Cube Cut Burley, Cotton Boll Twist and Five Brothers, this might be a good time to throw those out there.
If you like ABF, the Cube Cut Burley is its rough-hewn cousin with a heart of gold.

Yes. It is Cornell & Diehl Cube Cut Burley:

Next order I am getting a five pound box of this and one of the Dark Burley, since I use these to flesh out, de-sugar and beef up regular blends.
