I liked Cuban mixture. But I don't know what else to say about it.
Peretti is "how I learned to like Burley" with their burley sampler. 
Their 333, 52, DD, and Cuban are frick'n rockstars! imho, of course.

TR describes Cuban Mixture as flavored with Mint. How strong is the mint?
I'm not big on mint or menthol, so I'm wondering if the mint is in the foreground?
(OP: Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread. I too have been thinking about a Peretti's burley run lately)
I know Peretti can be intentionally vague in their descriptions, so I'm looking for some specific help also.
What's your current favorite? And are any of them more than a "flavored light smoke?"Peretti is "how I learned to like Burley" with their burley sampler.

none of them are just a 'flavored light smoke' I didn't buy up more DD yet, but I do have 8oz tins of 333, 52, and Cuban in the cellar, and would hate to not have any of those three. All different, and all great at what they are. 1072 is also very good. And 101 has crept up on me. you can order them by the ounce. try them all.
I enjoy 52 a good bit. Also 333, Blend W and Cuban
Pretty much parroting what others have said. Cuban Mix, 333, 52 but I think BPC and 111 are also worth trying.
BPC is one of my favorite burleys. Very simple but very good. It’s also an excellent blender
Just put in an order because I wanted Thanksgiving Day. I also got an 8 oz can of #8 Slice which I love and a 1 oz. sample of Ampersand Flake. For the burleys, I got 1 oz. samples of 333, 52, BPC, Cuban Mixture, and W.
i started about that way too. Now have 8oz+ of #8, Amersand, 333, 52, Cuban, Pride of Loch Lomond, 150th, Cambridge, British, RCTR...
Just put an order in for Thanksgiving Day. Sounds interesting. But it also sounds like the 'kitchen sink.' Lol
So now I've had a few weeks with several of Peretti's Burley blends. I think they're all good but I absolutely love BPC, Blend 333, and Blend 52. If I had to pick one, it would be 333.
Heck yeah brother 333 is awesome.
