Where do y'all purchase your blending tobaccos? I've gotten all of mine from pipes and cigars so far, but are there other online vendors? I got enough decent Virginias from P&C, but I really want to get my hands on some good burleys, like the ones Cornell and Diehl use, that has that good strong kick.... The AAA Burley and Dark Fire Cured just don't seem to have the vitamin N. I also need more varieties of orientals, I love how different the flavor profiles that they provide. Any suggestions?

C&D burleys are some of the best. They have several varieties, one of which Trubka2 has linked to. I think Stokkebyes has a couple of good burleys as well.
I grow my own, but I think that we have a few guys who use a website called WholeLeaf or LeafOnly to buy some varietals for blending their own. You just need a plan to shred it... I suggest steaming the leaves and rolling them (or make a twist) and then slicing it to make a ribbon. Or, try your hand at pressing a plug.

I haven't checked the C&D pages recently, but my blending tobaccos come from them -- burley, cigar leaf, Turkish, unflavored black Cavendish, etc. Other brands offer some too, but I can't name them offhand.
I'm from canada so I buy from wholeleaftobacco to avoid canada's outrageous taxes on processed tobacco. Their Kentucky is amazing and a staple of my blends. Plenty of vitamin n. I prefer to stove it with some molasses or maple syrup and alcohol (spiced rum/bourbon) casing to smooth it out a bit if I'm smoking it straight, then add some unstoved back in the mix for a bit more kick. Or I use it straight up in blends with other tobaccos. Their dark air burley is strong too, but I much prefer the Kentucky.
Oh man am I excited... just placed my order, can't wait to blend with C&D burleys. I always smoke cigars in summer time here in Florida for some reason, which is much cheaper since I roll my own -- they are serviceable, but my wife is all about cigars and wants to get a RYOpremium libermann so it's even easier.
But the cold season is pipe time for me, and I love blending and pressing my own blends so I get exactly what I want. I've got my Virginias covered, and have indeed finally learned to love them alongside burleys. But that kick from the Burley is all I want sometimes. I have considered ordering whole leaf pipe tobacco again from leaf only alongside my cigar leaf, but my blends just don't mix well with my hand slicing technique, and I am loathe to buy another of those hand crank shredders.
