Dark Burley
Smoking Pipes rated 4.4

This blending tobacco is presented in ribbons. It looks like shredded corrugated cardboard. No insult and that is just the exact color and feel of shredded cardboard. Aroma from the bag reminds me of some of our famil
y tobacco barns - if anything there’s some soft tanginess in there with a dusty smell , kind of earthy.

This Burely is nice. I definitely like it more than the previous samples I have had. It’s just kind of a genuine Burley - in your face flavor and feel to it. It’s kind of like a cigar, but without the sweet wrapper taste.

That’s not to say that there isn’t any sweetness, but it’s not a sugar sweetness - rather it’s more like how I consider cashews to be sweeter than walnuts. Just kind of a natural sweetness. Kinda like when you chew on a toothpick too long. It’s easy to see why it’s used as a blending building platform. It’s very solid as it goes as a solo blend.

It feels kind of like you’re smoking something old time. Like your cosplaying as someone in the old West. I really like the fullness and the earthiness.

Great blending component great solo blend

I smoke this normally straight. Just a nice smooth comfort smoke. But when I want to ramp it up a bit, 2 parts of this to one part each of Dark Fired and White Burley. I call it my Burley Boys blend.
Great Burley

Good straight burley a little creamy a little cigar a little earthy and nutty. The quintessential burley that will make you take a nap if you get a little forgetful of what you got going on. I have no doubt it will work well in home blends but is wonderful straight.
Worthy Burley Worth a Try!

Nutty, mildly cream, and yes, like other reviewers say, cigar like qualities. It tastes excellent straight or… You can steer this Dark Burley any direction you want to by casing, toppings, or by blending flavors into it with flavored Cavendished tobaccos or whatever varietals you want, because this burley will shine. The results are stellar!...Read More

Bought as a blending component to MAX out a Virginia and DFK mixture. Seeking a high octane blend... This Dark Burley comprises 40% of the blend, and although I plan on putting some age on it the initial results have been outstanding. Nothing too complex about this burley IMO, but it's playing it's role perfectly....Read More

There’s not much out there for something like this. Very tasty and an extremely well behaved burn. Zero complaints on this one.

Jar note of nuts, chocolate, and earth. The brown tobacco is about half thin ribbon and half course cut. Moisture content is a little dry, no drying or prep needed. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is strong and nic is medium to strong. No flavoring detected (or casing for that matter). Taste is full and very consistent, with notes of very spicy, very dry, toast, wood, very earthy, molasses, a bitter nutty background note, and a very peppery retro. Room note is strong, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Nutty, earthy, salty. Very wonderful when you taste just a little bit. It is a strong tobacco and cannot be consumed in large quantities. I would like to try it as a component for making home blends when I get a chance.
