Can anyone recommend me a tobacco that has a high natural sugar content, I smoke orlik, and Mac Barens club blend, and I really enjoy both, but I would love one with a higher sugar content, my favorite flavor is that burnt sugary taste. Can someone give me an idea?

Sounds like a blend highlighting bright Red Va's is what your looking for. I scratch that itch with Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River or Scotty's Old Red, both available from Pipes&Cigars. Sorry I didn't link anything, but I'm on my phone and that seems like a lot of work...

G.L Pease's Jacknife Plug is a wonderful VA. Great stuff. I cant make a recommendation further than that because I have little experience with pure Virginia blends.

McCranie's Red Ribbon or Red Flake are some of the best sweet straight VAs out there. Also:

GLP Union Square

McClelland xmas cheer

Nat Sherman #580 Liberty Golden Virginia (lightly cased)

Yeah, that would be the sugar.
