In Search Of The Burley Unicorn

[sittingbear]

Are you willing to mix a few things together? Or do you want something already made?

Totally willing to mix it up!

True, but not in the biblical sense, and that's the important part.

The real question is do you know yourself? Do you really know your spouse or partner? That's the real question

Solani Aged Burley Flake is my go-to. Good luck finding. I was lucky in 2015 and secured a few tins when it was available. I have two tins remaining jarred up. This blend is yummy!

Try some Newminster #702 Light Burley.

If they will ship to you and you dont mind buying lots at a time Estervals usually has the harder-to-get stuff including that beloved ABF.

@sittingbear what do you mean by omph?

I'll stick with CONUS providers. International shipments can get quite pricey!

I think u might like Wessex Burley Slice if enjoy ABF. It's quite good more stout and less sweet that ABF in my view.

I would give outdoor hiking a try. It’s in the same vein and more readily available.

WBS is equally as unavailable as ABF

I recommend that you try Solani Aged Burley Flake but I don't know if it can be found in the U.S.

Once you do, tell me I'm wrong, I dare you!

Based on this reply I threw a tin of Burley Flake #2 in a recent purchase and I'm smoking my first bowl of ot now. Wow, wish I found this stuff earlier! Excellent recommendation, and you are not wrong!

One of my absolute favorites!

I'd say more so even

Burley in its purest form, it will come out of your ears, like a Siberian train in the night. Pirate Kake by C&D. Brown smoke, thick as butter. You'll stink, like a wood-grilled herring.

I find it best to narrow it down to 3 or 4 favorites to keep on hand and then dip my toe into others. (Not literally)
I just bought some Cobblestone brick burley plug. I've had other Cobblestone blends but never tried the burley plug.

I see C&D Dark Burley mentioned above. Really good stuff and I use it as an add-in to tune up some blends. C&D Cube Cut Burley also excellent for this purpose.

I've thought about buying some of this. Is it the same as dark fired?

Peretti is especially noted for the quality of their Burley blends...BPC etc

No, it's just straight dark burley.
