Burley Flake #6?
July 23, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
Impressive manly smoke. This blend has some earthy might. It's very much similar to the blends in the C&D Burley Flake series. The nicotine power is noticeable right away in the first 1/4 of the bowl. It comes out and slaps you across the face. The B... Read More
urley is young and way out front with strong woody, nutty, earthy notes. From the Orientals there's a sweetness and gentle walnut note with a hint of bitter and sour that is ever present. The Perique and Latakia are sparse condiments adding occasional complexity. This is not an all day or a big bowl smoke. There's an occasional harshness and the bitterness sometimes builds to an offputting level, but the nic hit is lovely and ... well let's call it an acquired taste. I always have a blend like this around for the quick 10 minute stress pipe. It would be interesting to smoke this along with the Burley Flake series and see how they stack up. Read Less
Another great find from C&D.
May 26, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley 2oz
Big and Burley puts me in mind of Junk Yard Dawg (my current favorite blend), but sweeter and not as dark. Has substantial vitamin N. I find that I have gravitated to such mixtures that are no nonsense, rich and satisfying. Indeed, a great find.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
I don't usually smoke Burley's, at least not as the main component, they tend to be alittle to warm on the tongue. But I bought this to use as a mixer. I had to at least try it as is to see what exactly I could or couldn't pair it with. My initial th... Read More
ought was add to a mellow aromatic, to add some nic-kick. But I was pleasantly surprised that I like this blend...a lot, as is. It doesn't get too hot if you don't huff and puff, and I like the taste. Kind of toasty if that makes sense...? The Nic-Hit is pretty strong but it pairs nicely on its own with a cup of coffee. I think I'll leave it as is for now. I am happy with it! Another C&D winner!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley 2oz
This is not an introduction to English, but a real good burley blend. Has a light flavor which is complex and enjoyable. I would recommend if you like burley based tobacco blends.
Too big

Too big for my palate although I enjoy it from time to time.
Sophisticated

Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley 2oz
Wow, this blend does have an intriguing complexity as somebody below has stated. This blend feels like a fine wine, with many layers coming through at different puffs. It is medium in body and the Latakia is just an aid to make the blend unique and ... Read More
give the Burley something to play with. I get cigar notes at times and the orientals pop here and there making this blend feel oh so classy. I love the room note as I get a rich deep cocoa and dirt. It packs and burns easy, I bought a bunch and sat on it for 7 months and it was better as time went on. The perique is there but in the background. Such a smooth cool smoke. Be careful because the nicotine can sneak up on you like it did for me one morning on an empty stomach whilst drinking my black coffee. Great for an after dinner or late night bowl. Read Less
Think Black Pepper and Walnuts
October 12, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
Whooo Boy... if you're a light-weight on nicotine, don't do this one. Seriously, it'll make a ball in your chest and turn you green. Earthy, woody and fermented Dark Burley means no sweet molasses; Orientals add a bit of sourness and, as DK stated,... Read More
a bit of walnut nuance; the Latakia is minor but noticeable and in very good proportion; the Perique is peppery - akin to black pepper, and it's a bit harsh at times. It's the perique that keeps this from being a better mixture. There's absolutely no sweetness, but adding a bit of red or bright VA changes that. The bitterness is tolerable, but the nicotine level is POWERFUL. Small bowls are a must with this and I prefer Scott's burners: an old classic shaped french stummel in small proportions. This will grow hair on your toenails... tread carefully. Nicotine is 4 out of 5. Read Less
A new development
July 04, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley 2oz
I bought an ounce about a year ago in an effort to wade into burleys, and after the first bowl I put it away with the thought that I did not like burleys. I held onto it after reading that this blend requires a bit of time to smooth out. That is, in ... Read More
my opinion very true. It sat there for 1 year and 3 months and my how it has changed. It still has a slight bitterness but the taste of a butter soft nut comes through the most now. As I neared the bottom third the flavor began to shift to a very slight cocoa taste. The best way to describe it is nuts very lightly dusted with baking chocolate. The nicotine level is up there but I paced myself this time and managed to avoid that throat knot that I had experienced before. I'm an English smoker at heart (HH vintage Syrian, fusilier's ration, MM965, etc.) , but I think as an evening smoke I may have to start reaching for this more often. Also I can hardly detect the latakia and the perique is only noticed in the nose ever so faintly. But I can pick out all but the most minute additions of perique so you may not notice it. Definitely recommend giving this a go but if you're a new pipe smoker I'd hold off a year or so till you have your smoking ritual/technique refined . Read Less
Complex Burley
August 09, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
My first impression on lighting this blend was that this is simply Haunted Bookshop with a little latakia, but it's more complex than that. As the bowl progressed, I couldn't help noticing that the room note was akin to a fine cigar, and I held that ... Read More
opinion to the vanilla-kissed finish of the bowl. This blend has an intriguing complexity that I was unaware a burley could have and I struggle to describe. I am no nicotine lightweight, but be forewarned, this blend is stout. Not "nic-cups" strong, but unexpectedly stout. This blend is definitely worth a try for burley lovers. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
This is a beautiful blend! The Latakia, Turkish, and perique are truly used as condiments, and while I pick up a slight spice from the perique, mostly these just play a supporting role for the burlery, which is of a very high quality. Overall, this i... Read More
s a slow and cool burning blend with a great, full burley flavor that doesn't turn harsh. This also has a decent amount of nicotene in it; I'm not particularly sensitive to Vitamin N but I definitely feel it about midway through a bowl of this. Its not a complex blend, but it tastes good and is very satisfying. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
Initially I hated this blend. It reminded me too much of cheap gas station cigars.
However, once my cabinet was empty, this was the only thing I had left. Nipped it a few times and eventually grew fond of it, now it's a daily smoke.
For me, there's... Read More
a strong nicotine kick. The burley is the front player here. Perique adds a little tingle here and there, while I don't notice the latakia nor orientals at all.
The tobacco smells like burley - or cheap cigar - and the smoke is smelly too. Recommend smoking it outside, so it doesn't stink up the whole house. Read Less
Great to Blend With
August 25, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
I tried this separately and was too strong. But now I mix with Red Odessa and Bright Virgina (1 oz Burley, 1 oz Red Odessa, 2 oz Bright Virgina). This blend makes for a fantastic taste for myself.
Strong stuff

It is OK - But just not for me!
October 14, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley Bulk
During autumn and winter, I usually switch to English Blends. Since it is the beginning of fall, I filled up my Big Ben pipe with Big 'n' Burley thinking it is an English tobacco. Well, I was a bit disappointed as Latakia which is a main character o... Read More
f English blends was no where to be found. I could pick up the taste of Burley, Perique and Orientals though. The tobacco was smoking rather harsh and the nicotine hit was hard, so I had to stop after quarter bowl. This tobacco is OK for every once in a while smoke but definitely not an everyday smoke. This blend is just not for me. Read Less

Big n' Burley is definitely "The Burley Show" and it certainly is what it says that it is. Full flavored, high in nicotine and wholly satisfying. I can taste very little Latakia and even less of the Turkish, but all the tobaccos compliment ... Read More
each other for a dark and rich experience.
I don't think I would call this very complex and definitely not nuanced in any way. It is, however, very satisfying and enjoyable. If you don't like burley and have a low nicotine tolerance, leave this one alone. But if you love burley, you have to at least try it. I can't imagine one not loving it, if the person loves burley.

Disgustingly vile as if it actually was conjured in a barnyard. What else needs be said? Nothing.
Barnyard Refuse

Product: Cornell & Diehl Big 'n' Burley 2oz
Without any reservation at all this is the worst of the worst. Dry, biting and so barnyard-like I chose to use it as expensive fertilizer for my grapevines for which purpose it will admirably serve. To smoke it is agony unbelievable.

ley which is at the forefront. Really the main flavor is an earthy, dark chocolate burley that is absolutely beautiful in it's simplicity. My best advice is to buy some bulk, jar it for 6 months and get ready for a wonderful experience. If you smoke it too young you'll definitely be turned off of this one. Patience pays off in the end!
