Burleys

[pawpaw]

besides PA and CH what other burley blends can you folks recomend

I have tried

C&Ds burley flake #1 and #2

Safe Harbor

Riverboat gambler

Pennington Gap

Solani Aged Burley Flake
Also is it just me or when smoking Burley heavy blends ya need to have some thing to drink with them more so than with a VA heavy blend

 

[cortezattic]

H&H's Angler's Dream is Russ Ouellette's homage to codger blends of the past. I like it more than the venerable P.A.

 

[juvat270]

MacBaren Golden Extra

 

[thesmokindragon]

H&H classic burley kake

Peretti's #333

 

[rigmedic1]

PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in my Charatan's Make Special pot.

Park-Lane's Fireside is excellent, im also a big fan of H&H's Angler's Dream.

I do like Burley blends alot, though i haven't gotten around to trying very many. This thread will help me get together a terribly long TAD list im sure!

 

[pawpaw]

Cumberland I have got to get a pound of this stuff

and Old Masters from McCranies

You need to try Butera's Kingfisher! Has Burley, Verginia and a little Perique. It's flue cured

and cut in a flake. One of my best mid day smokes.

Velvet, Kentucky Club Mild, Sugar Barrel, Half&Half

edit)Actually the SB and H&H are the only blends in my list. Velvet and KCM are straight burley.

edit#2) and Walnut has gots the burley in it toooooo! Haha! Can you tell I'm an OTC guy! ::

MacBaren Burley London is quite nice. I recently smoked some Granger, which is a pleasant but not overly exciting blend, and am about done with 2 ounces of Walnut,which has a touch of latakia, giving a nice smokey touch.
C&D does a lot of burley blends, as does MacBaren.

 

[slowpuffer]

I agree with MacBaren's London Blend Burley. One blend you don't hear about a whole lot is Tinderbox's Burley Light. I thought it was phenomenal.

 

[brownbilliard]

Peretti's BPC and 333 are excellent

well, i've recently tried macb's golden extra, london burley blend, and "mixture," all burley-based blends, as far as i can tell. wery impressed so far and no problems with the dreaded macb "bite," presumably because none of these blends contain a whole lot of virginia leaf.

i enjoy PA as well.

one blend i've heard a lot of good things about but have yet to try is john patton's Storm Front (did i get that right?). few reviews on TR, but all of them VERY favorable....all 4**** last time i looked.

apparently available on-line only from 4noggins.com.

my next purchase for sure...and one you might want to sample!

burleys are becoming a favorite category of mine. never been a heavy lat lover but enjoy some quality aros and virginia dominant blends. whereas a lot of the aros and va's i've tried have been hit and miss, i've been luckier with burleys.

now, what was your question again??

I'll SECOND P&C's Butternut Burley. That's some damn nice stuff. It's oh so gentle and just a hint of buttery sweetness to it. Everytime I smoke it I try to make some tangible link to the flavor and fail misserably everytime.

 

[jrtaster]

i did get it wrong...it's john patton's Storm Force." sorry about that! jr/john
