Glad nobody was looking over my shoulder at work.
The strongest burley and an absolute favorite for me is Cornell and Diehl's Big N' Burley. It's not necessarily the strongest in nicotine, but its definitely up there with Old Joe Krantz and Irish Flake. Full rich burley flavor with a touch of lat and turkish to beef up the body and add a creaminess and richness to an already very rich burley base. I can't recommend it enough.
if you buy a few bricks that stuff will last forever. Only tobacco you can leave out in the open and not have it effect it any way.
Not burly at all. He's holding a bag of Esoterica!This one is fairly burly, but I don't think it's straight.
Allrighty then...
Many thanks for the recommendations, Boardcrew. I'll be ordering & test driving a number of them shortly.
PS --- The intended-for-blending stuff Mr. Greeneyes mentioned is indeed what got me started on straight Burley. Try it if you get the chance.
PPS --- That Mr. Woodsroad is one scary dude... All normal 'n' shit on the outside, all Dr. Evil twisty on the inside.

Believe me, they are glad too.Glad nobody was looking over my shoulder at work.
My budding “cellar” has a good amount of each:
Five Brothers
Dark BirdsEye
Both aren’t the cheapest, but I consider them affordable, fairly available, and enjoy them often.

There’s some Kentucky in it, but Gawith and Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented is something that may interest you.
5 brothers for most muscular for sure.
That said I do miss the availability of PS312 Toasted Burley, though, while not as strong it was and remains one of my favorite straight burleys ever made. Thankfully I have a bit of stash squirreled away.

5 Brothers is mild-medium at best with little flavor IMHO. C&D Kelly's Coin and Old Joe Krantz are strong for sure. Not sure exactly what tyoe of leaf is in Kendall Kentucky these days, but years ago it was supposed to be straight Kentucky burley and quite strong.
Five Brothers must hit you different than most people. I smoked a medium size bowl of it last night and had to put it down for a while and come back to it to finish it. I wish it was mild-medium for me so that I could smoke more than one bowl a day. One a day, usually in the evening is my limit if I am smoking it straight.
Kelly's Coin is a favorite of mine, and I find it to be more moderate, about the same as 5Brothers, except it is a lot more tasty and less acrid.
Using Burley Flake #1 as my guide for nic hits, 5 Bros and Kelly's Coin come in well below BF#1, but they are rather high in nicotine. Just not as high as BF#1.
