I can't add much to what people have already said - you'll be trying all that for a while.

For me - I really enjoy Dark Fired Kentucky Burley with Virginia in blends such as Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong (extremely similar to Dark Strong Kentucky from Orlik). It's also in Solani's Silver Flake (another favourite of mine).

Gawith & Hoggarth use burley/KY to create some interesting stuff like Dark Flake/Plug and Dark Birdseye. Both of which I really enjoy.

Old Dark Fired and Bold Kentucky also are both great smokes and consistently accessible (more than the above).

And I would second @renfield in suggesting Semois. It's fairly unique stuff a bit like a more complex 'European' 5 Brothers.

Much of the above is pretty strong or full flavoured stuff. The Amphora Burley (or Kentucky) is pretty good for the money I have to say.
