Top 3 Burley’s?

[Old_Newby]

I just finished a top 3 Virginia and I appreciate so much advice. Now what is your top burley. I am not looking for Codgers as I have tried most. I am looking for hidden gems of sweetness. If it’s a cigarette burley please don’t list it. I have a sweet tooth so molasses anything on the sweeter side is preferred. If it has some Kentucky or Virginia or a tiny bit of Perique that’s fine, but please no Latakia. So load me up with those sweeties that are burley nutty molasses forward..

I will start off with sharing that I tried Cobblestone Hiking and like it a lot.

Uhle's Blend 300 (or any Uhle's burley - they're all amazing. 300 is the sweetest)
Sutliff Match Ready Rubbed
MacBaren HH Burley Flake

Solani Aged Burley Flake is pretty outstanding, but good luck finding any right now...

Tabac de Semois (Réserve du Patron) Unique, delicious but strong. Only to be used under close adult supervision.

Erik Stokkebye 4th Gen 1931. Flavored (honey), but well-measured and not cloying. This is my gourmet burley.

C&D Pegasus. My "codger" blend. I usually start my mornings with this blend and a coffee.

Honorable mentions:
MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired
Cobblestone Outdoors Hiking

I've only really smoked 2 Burleys on a regular basis as I'm more of a Virginia Smoker. Burleys aren't really my thing, but I have really enjoyed:

1. Tabac Manil Semois (Reserve du Patron) - very unique and a good "quick" smoke.
2. C&D Eight State Burley - a more refined version of an "American-style" Burley blend; I really enjoy it, but it's a Small Batch release, so only comes around once a year.

for everyday use: Amphora original Brown and That of their Burley Blend, Mc Barens Golden Extra and Mc Barens Barens Burley Flake, Semois is fine as well but pretty hard to acquire outside of Belgium

Everyone is wrong.

Ken Byron’s Burley Morning Pipe is all you need. Don’t even worry about second and third; buy this and smile.

One more: C&D Morley's Best (a little Latakia.... just a little bit)

LJ Peretti does burley really well. Someone already mentioned Blend 333 and I'd second that. Cuban Mixture is another burley blend from them that I'd recommend, especially if you like cigar leaf.

Pick and choose: Peterson Irish Flake and 3-P; C&D Stratfordshire, Tuggle Hall, Billy Budd, Old Joe Krantz, Bayou Night, and Mountain Camp. Semois thick and medium cut. I'd sample some of the "codgers," which are good examples of burley.

 

[Servant King]

Mine are:

1) C&D Pegasus
2) C&D Eight State Burley
3) Mac Baren Golden Extra

OP asked for “sweetened” burley. Sorry

SugarBarrel or it’s Match - Sugar

Granger - Molasses

Uhles Blend 300 - Honey

If I wanted my burley sweet, I would start with c&d dark burley, straight or blended with 20% white burley, and add their red Virginia until it’s sweet enough.
