Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
It's quite amazing how a simple blend like this can take you back to a time we'll before your own. Imagine this, it's North Florida just south of Jacksonville. It's the middle of the summer and you find yourself in middle of a hundred acres field see... Read More
med to be cut out of the long leaf pine forests. From edge to edge the field is perfectedly dotted with Burley tobacco. Your hands are covered in tobacco sap and soil. It's midday day and you make your way to the nearest curring barn and find shade on the north end. You huddle around the others as one opens a leather bag revealing this stuff. You stuff your pipe as others attempt to roll it into freehand cigarettes. You light your pipe and push your wide brim shade hate over your eyes and puff away. Within minutes the barn is surrounded by the scent of nutty Burley. Rich in flavor and nicotine. The curls sweeping of your pipe sting your nostrils. The red Virginia serves only to play stake and chain to its strength. For a moment you could swear the pipe has made a weird servant of its self by enhancing the odurs of the barn; as salt would do to prime steak. You gulp the water from your bottle, washing away the nicotine sting that purveys the back of your throat. The heat beats off the barn warming the wood, releasing the rich aroma of pine resin that mixes with the nutty spice of the pipe. Lifting an eye open to view the day. The heat swirls the air and the haze yellows the sky. Closing your eye again, you slip on a quiet slumber Read Less
Give This Some Time

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Out of the tin this is really nondescript, smelled like leaves in the fall and the first smoke was bland and ashy. Decanted the tin to a half pint mason jar and let it sit 2 weeks and what a change. Tin note now reveals a nice burley cocoa with a v... Read More
inegar back note from the va. Smokes very well rubbed out or stuffed in a pipe with a flavor reminiscent of the old Edgeworth Slices. While not an everyday smoker for me, I do like it as a diversion from my normal rotation. Read Less
Burley Heaven
July 27, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
If you enjoy Burley tobacco, you will absolutely fall for this one! Wonderful billows of burley with just a hint of sweet hay background. Needs to be in a one pound bag.
Good burley smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
This is a good example of a burley DFK blend. I’ve ordered this again. It smokes really nice with a light sweetness and a good nicotine kick.
A mans smoke
April 01, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Wow...this blend is Manly and as strong as a rope. The tin note is woody and musky with a hint of cocoa. The mechanics are perfect, loose set flakes ready to smoke. And let me tell you, it smokes like a dream. Powerful walnutty burley, with brilliant... Read More
notes of bitter coffee, espresso, cigar and leather. The virginia offers just enough sweetness to balance it all... but not consistently. There's an occasional flit of harshness that gets more frequent as the bowl progresses. It's kind of forgivable as in the last half of the bowl, notes of dark chocolate develop, the bitter espresso cigar note goes nuclear and the nicotine punches you in the back of the throat. A howling wind couldn't drown out the flavor or the ember. As for the nicotine, gentleman, this is a strong tobacco. Even on a full stomach the nic hit slaps you across the face in the first 1/4 bowl. This stuff is badass Read Less
Nutty & Bready Sweet
February 03, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Burley’s are nutty, grassy and deeply earthy – good representation of light to dark spectrum. VA is sweet and bready. It’s a traditional solid VA/BUR, and has a good old-timey flavor smoked slowly, which is perhaps too organic or pure. Resembles Pega... Read More
sus in a Flake form. Solani Silver is better, but it also has a topping. It’s a little rough, as with most C&D, and this, as VA/BUR goes, is average and doesn’t warrant shelf space in the cellar. Not as stout as #1 and #3. Medium-strong nicotine, flavor and body. Read Less
Hold on tight

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Okay, so, I'm a Virginia smoker, both reds and brights; but, I thought I'd give this a try since it was on sale. To be honest, burley in general just doesn't have the flavor a Virginia does, so this would never be my go-to smoke, that said, hold on t... Read More
ight because the nicotine will kick your butt. I appreciate that about this blend. I also appreciate the fact that it was nice a fresh and good quality leaf just like most all of C&D and Low Country. So, even though in general, it's certainly not my favorite flavor wise, I gave it 5 stars because of its quality and butt kicking piece of nicotine whoop-ass. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Well...you can smell dark chocolate and Virginia and you can taste them too but with lots of strength. Not overpowering but you should take some time and have a slow smoke. Otherwise it kicks your a**.

8 State Burley Fix
May 22, 2023
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Unfortunately when 8 State Burley was released I only bought two tins and was quickly found in short supply due to the delightful notes of baker's dark chocolate that blend has. I decided to do some research and this one seemed to be the closest I wo... Read More
uld find. And wow does this blend have the fix! Definitely a hidden gem of a smoke! Read Less

Basically Good
June 14, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
Had this tin since last year, just poured the last of my Haunted Bookshop into its remnants to finish off this week. I love the taste of C&D’s Dark Burley, but this particular broken flake only satisfies me blended with other tobaccos. For what it is... Read More
, I think I should give it a full 5 stars, but with everything else C&D has to offer, it might be a long time before I ever taste it again. Not this Dark Burley, I mean, but Flake #2. Read Less

The first Burley I ever loved
February 02, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
I loved this when I first tried it. I don't have it around all the time, but it did encourage me to start exploring the Burley side of C&D's portfolio. I highly recommend it.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #2 2oz
This blend when you first open the tin does not have a very strong order smell but after it's been open for a while it has quite a earthy fermenting tin a Roma. To me the dark fired Kentucky is only used in a very condimental way the focus is mainly... Read More
the earthy white Burley and the slightly sweet fermented flavor of the red Virginia some chocolatey Coco notes do show up as you smoke it from time to time smell coming off the bowl is quite chocolatey compare the taste as you smoke it. It is quite a peppery mouth fuel to this blend especially in the Retro Hale. Nicotine content is quite High. Read Less
Very good.

Not as strong as #1, by a little. Good flavor. Can burn a little hot if pressed.
