Solani Aged Burley

[AJL67]

Any secret stashes that you know of, any match blends that hit the nail on the head, I’d like to try the actual product before something “close but not really close”.

I realize it’s that chocolate note and i get that from Presbyterian and The Red Hunt so this was more about trying something new in that range, not life or death

Thoughts on it in general?

To me, it's the closest thing available to the dearly departed Edgeworth Sliced. Wessex Burley Slice is a close second. I have a tin of Savinelli Jupiter Antique Burley to try at some point as well. By far, my favorite genre of tobacco.

I smoke a number of Virginia/Burley/Kentucky blends but no straight Burleys. I tried ABF and Wessex Slices years ago and gave away both tins. For some reason they both tasted like shit to me. I honestly didn't ever figure out why.

We’ll see if they are in my wheelhouse, have to at least try them, can’t say you don’t like Kona crusted steak till your try it. For the record i wasn’t a fan, waste of a fabulous hunk of beef.

I think it is good. I prefer it to Mac Baren's HH Burley Flake which I find too sour for my tastes. To me it resembles Mac Baren's Golden Blend, but better.

Golden Extra is a nice burley blend as well.

Aged Burley Flake tastes like shit and dirt to me.

I should point out that the topping on ABF has been changed:

Jim's Revised Solani 633 and ABF Reviews. :: Pipe Tobacco Reviews

Solani 633: The bright Virginias have a fair amount of tart and tangy citrus, bread, sugar, hay and grass, light floralness, and a honey note as a lead component. The earthy, woody perique has a very obvious spiciness along with some figs, plums and raisins as a strong supporting player. The...

Same goes for Wessex Burley Slices:

Jim's Revised Wessex Burley Slice & Sov. Curly Cut Reviews. :: Pipe Tobacco Reviews

Wessex Burley Slice: There's an extremely light anise additive to accentuate the mild molasses and light cocoa toppings. The burleys offer a fair amount of earth, wood, some nuts, bread, and a small sharp note. No harshness or bite at all, and has a mild nicotine hit. The strength is a step or...

Great blend, as is wessex. Albeit a little different, HH Burley Flake is worth a try in my opinion. I also enjoy the C&D Burley Flake series. Good strength on those.

 

[Ahi Ka]

If I were going to stock up on a topped burley in a tin, I’d be buying more cobblestone hiking flake.

That's the Burley I'm cellared deepest on. Good stuff. I pray it doesn't gain the popularity it deserves

 

[sandollars]

Solani 656, Wessex Burley Flake and HH Burley flake are in my top 5 and I always have some opened and ready to go.
