Favorite Bur/Per

[kurtbob]

I just add a tiny bit of perique to my usual blend of c&d dark and white burleys when I feel like it

I kinda do what you said, make my own blend. Use C&D Burley Ribbon Cut (which is the base of most of their burley blends) with Sutliff Stoved Virgina for a little sweetness and Sutliff TS-20 Perique for earthiness. Smoke this all day!

I would have to say Old Joe and Night Train. But HB & Oak Alley are regulars too.

This sounds excellent. I’ve been thinking about making a similar blend, but adding some golden Virginia. Curious about your ratios.

I do 7oz of the burley, 4oz of the stoved and 1oz of the perique. It’s a pretty tasty all day smoke.

I like Haunted Bookshop and Tuggle Hall. It's a tie because their so similar. What do ya'll think?

Interesting that you find their similar. I think they’re very different with Tuggle Hall being more of an English blend IMHO. I much prefer Tuggle Hall of the two.

It is amazing after all these years I still learn new stuff on this site. I never knew they made straight Burley and Perique blends. Are the blends totally devoid of Virginia's?

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of even one. I’m thinking (and may very well be wrong) that there is at least a percentage of Virginia no mater how small. Maybe someone else will chime in?

Just went to SP website and searched C&D tinned tobaccos. Filtered it down to must contain burley and perique, also to exclude everything except burley and perique…….search returned zero blends.

I was thinking anything which is primarily burley and features noticeable perique. I had to check to see if there's VA in Haunted Bookshop. I would have said no, but there is.

Well there you go! Like I said, couldn’t think of any off the top of my head. Did the C&D search only because of the huge number of blends in their portfolio using burley. Hope more get mentioned, I’d like to give em a try!

I'm not sure if there are any more just burley and perique blends. I would be interested to know, though.

I'll have to try this myself. I don't have C&D Burley Ribbon Cut, but I just got their White Burley and smoked that straight for the first time last night. Very intriguing and strong smoke! I think it could use some balancing with some bright VAs, but it could be interesting to try your mix instead ... though it sounds rather strong. We'll see how it goes.

Yeah, I find all their burley to be pretty rough around the edges straight!

I'm convinced that the great burley-Virginia divide is based on body chemistry. I smell cheese and feet in a jar of Haunted Bookshop, burley lovers smell fruitiness.

This might be the weird sweet spot with HB. I can't stand it before 6 months of age and after 9ish months of age. It's like the aggressiveness of the perique turns plummy for a bit there before going "bad" to my taste

Thanks for checking it out for me.

For burley and perique _only_ blends, Wilke Wall Street is definitely my favorite.
