I like the old K&K Peterson Irish Flake. I’ve been told it’s currently sold as Rattray’s Stirling Flake.
Also, C&D Old Joe Krantz, C&D Haunted Bookshop, Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic (if a VaBur counts), and C&D Crooner.

I love a lot more than just these, but OP asked for five.

1. Edgeworth Sliced. Full Stop!

2. Uhle's 00 aged in either old McClelland tins or aged with a McClelland stave cube (my preferred method). I also age Uhle's 00 in jars which previously held other tobaccos, like aromatics or Lakelands, or even English blends. These burley leaves get easily infused with scent from other tobaccos. My all time favorite is to aged it is prior McClelland tins with a stave from Blend 35 and then seal in a mylar bag for 1-2 years.

3. Stonehaven (VaBur)
4. HH Burely Flake vs Aged Burley Flake (tie)
5. Semois (any)

Good to see you Neal.

I'm not the biggest burley guy but I do have some favorites.

Burley London Blend (Golden Extra + Cocoa Puffs, at least to me)

I’m thankful for this thread. As I’ve been taking inventory of my cellar I’ve noticed that it is deficient in the burley department. I’m not crazy about DFK but do enjoy a burley more in the codger realm of things. Two that I’ve not had but looking to add based on forum comments are Granger and Sutliff’s Ready Rubbed Match. Carter Hall and Prince Albert are okay but after finishing a pouch of each I’ve had no desire to return.

You might really like PS Cube Cut. It is definitely in the codger realm, without being too topped, cased, or crude.

I was gifted some Le Petit Robin LA Brameuse last year and really didn't care for them in a pipe. Being a primarily Virginia/Oriental smoker, I like burley as a component, not the star. Semois makes for an excellent chew though.
and nasal snuff too. Best part is you can just grind it and not add anything else and still get nicotine. Which isn't just down to strength but the ph must be unique too. And yes makes a great chew too.
