Top 3 Burley’s?

[Old_Newby]

This morning I had half a bowl of Amphora Burley and half a bowl of Match Ready Rub and it’s just yum!!! I can’t wait to try some others..

I know someone has listed the sweetest best blend for me but where to begin?

Watch City's Deluxe Crumb Cut was a game changer for me.

I love Amphora Original too. All the Amphoras are good, but Original is the one I reach for more often. I prefer MacBaren HH Burley to Amphora Burley. IMHO they're comparable, but the HH Burley has more flavour and more nicotine (which I like!).

I picked up a tin of House Reserve today while I was at the Pipe Rack in Akron, OH.

Hope you like it, It’s got this old timey casing/topping that works for me.

That one is on my to buy list.

[WerewolfOfLondon]

- Solani ABF; far and away the best burley for me
-MacBaren Navy Flake
- Peterson's 3P's

Dishonorable mention:

Haunted Bookshop

 

[VDL_Piper]

If its sweet that you're looking for then I would suggest,
Peter Stokkebye's Cube Cut
Cornell & Diehl Redburn (think this has some Kentucky) and is topped with Rum/Molasses
Mac Baren Burley Flake

Been smoking Redburn lately and it has a few rough edges straight out the tin so jar it for a week or 10 days and it will make all the difference.

 

[Uruss]

C&D Eight State Burley (small batch)
C&D Redburn
Solani Aged Burley Flake

I'd also add Prince Albert.

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

OJK
OJK Blue
Pegasus
Kelly's Coin

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

I know this is an old comment but I need to say that Esterval’s has shitloads of it for roughly $9/tin. Even after shipping it’s roughly $14/tin shipped to your door.

 

[rsshreck32]

Based on your preferences, I would recommend C&D Pegasus but probably not Old Joe Krantz or Haunted Bookshop. I would also recommend trying the Sweet Burley from The Country Squire.

I’ve never been able to buy anything from them. It lets me put it in my cart but when I try to check out it won’t let me.

I just opened an account but when I select Solani it indicates no products. I think it won’t let me see them until my account is verified and approved. But hope it works.

My top 3 burley aren't necessarily sweet, but in no particular order would be:
C&D OJK (regular)
Mac Baren HH Burley Flake
Savinelli Jupiter

I still have more to taste and this might all change in the future, but I don't foresee HH Burley Flake ever leaving my top three.

I must say that JC double pressed though I only got one tin came very dry and tasteless

Irish Flake is full of flavor and NIC , and Pegasus is a great all day modern take on the codger with quality leaf but make sure to let it breathe a bit in shake up the opened tin or jar it for a couple weeks to breathe does wonders and really opens up the flavor.

 

[Hutch Piper]

HH Burley Flake, Wessex Burley Slice and Solani ABF for me.

Maybe one day…

 

[OfPipesandBlends]

Sweet burleys…
-golden extra
-redburn
-sir Walter Raleigh aromatic

Also if any burley is not sweet enough cut it with SWRA. 70% Redburn and 30% SWRA is my favorite blend. If I had to choose one sweet burley by itself it would have to be golden extra.

 

[Franco Pipenbeans]

In no particular order:

1) Original (Walnut) Flake - a more rounded relative of St Bruno imho. Once made by the mighty Ogden’s of Liverpool, now made on the continent.

2) Solani’s Aged Burley 656 - mentioned by others, well worth a tin or two.

3) Wessex’s Burley Slice - a good example of the form.

St Bruno is worth an investigation, like Original Flake, but a bit stronger on the tongue.
