Aged Burley Flake and Wessex Burley slice are very good. Maybe not too sweet. For something sweeter, Nutty Irishman is good (and I don't like aromatics often).

I enjoy Newminster no.702 Light Burley. Quite possibly my favorite burley. It doesn’t start off too sweet but once you get it going it condenses in flavor. Comes in bulk. I have about 2-3 lbs cellared.

I like C&D's approach to burley. They somewhat re-discovered burley as a true blending tobacco after it was relegated to a sort of codger status by many. They make a good selection of both bulk and tinned blends with burley to try. I know some don't care for C&D blends at all, but I do.

Uhle's Tobacco Company has some great burleys. Blend 00 and Perfection Plug Burley are two favorites of mine. More nutty than sweet. Think "high end" codgers.

Also, Storm Front is another nutty, sweet(ish) burley with some cigar leaf to give it a little muscle.

Finally, Carter Hall is a perennial favorite. I smoke it almost every morning.
This tobbac got excellent write ups and unless I'm reading wrong its all Burley, not blend based. I might give it a go.
