Man, I love Burley. What's Your Favorite?

[redleaderdave]

I've only been at this hobby for a few years, so I'm still in that stage of buying all sorts of different styles and blends of tobacco. For a while I had zeroed in on English blends as my blend of choice, but recently I've really found a love for Burley blends. I recently bought some Haunted Bookshop and really liked it. Then I discovered Pegasus. I don't smoke very often, but when I do I've smoked more back to back bowls of Pegasus than any other blend. Last night I broke out my stash of the last batch of Eight State Burley. I enjoyed it much more last night than I did when I first cracked it open back in the day. I ordered another tin of the new batch along with some Old Joe Krantz. I think I'm a burley guy, at least for the time being.

Whats your favorite burley blends?

I found a love for burley when I first tried Cobblestone Hiking. I haven’t been the same man since.

Well aged Wessex Burley Slice comes to mind...

333 from Peretti
Crumb Cut/Deluxe Crumb Cut from WCC
Match Ready Rubbed Sutliff
Wessex Burley Flake
Cobblestone Hiking

I like burley on its own and not really mixed with much else, its fine if some flavoring is added but blends like Eight State dont really appeal to me. Fresh is fine too aged Burley doesn't do much for me.

I like Daughters and Ryan Two Timer. It's good stuff.

Thanks for the recommendations. I haven't tried any straight burley blends yet.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

The regular Two Timer that is.

I would also add Prince Albert, but I cannot speak for the new stuff, I havent tried it.

PA is really more like an aromatic anyway.

My #1 blend. Of all time.

Briar Fox.

If I find out you bought it all up, I'm coming for you

Definitely on my short list.

Kentucky Burley is my favourite.
None of that 'doctored' chocolate flavoured rubbish.

 

[jaytex1969]

Amphora Burley Blend is one of the best pouch blends I've ever had.

I have a review of that somewhere, also.

What is the deal with that I have only been able to find 1 tin of cobblestone and it has been on my radar for a few years. Thanks for the reminder, and the search begins again.

Watch City Cigar American Cut Plug is pretty great.
LJ Peretti and Uhle’s make some good burley blends but I’ve not had them.

D&R Two Timer Regular

Every day!

I ordered some from Whole Leaf. It is so good

Welcome to the winning team.

You already enjoyed Pegasus and HB, so continue trying the rest of Bob Runowski's portfolio, as nearly all of his blends feature burley.

If you can get it, Solani Burley Flake is superb. For something different, Barbary Coast is another banger from GL Pease. For something bold, MacBuren Old Dark Fired is just the thing. And the ever reliable Briar Fox is a wonderfully consistent VaBur blend.

HU Makhuwa is in my lineup most days.
