Great Burley-Forward Smoke
November 19, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Morley's Best Bulk
Burleys predominate through the first light to the first third of the bowl, and then the Latakia adds a smokey and woody sweetness to the mix. The Virginias add a bit more sweetness to the sulfur molasses mix in the last half of the bowl. Not sure ab... Read More
out the tin option, but the bulk option comes a bit dry, which is what I prefer. To rehydrate a little, I just fill the pipe and blow through the pipe some hot air and then I am ready to light. The nic-hit is mild, and this could be an all-day smoke, the only caveat being that it is best enjoyed at a slow sip. MB always burns clean to the bottom of the bowl with little moisture and a nice gray ash to swirl in the once-cooled bowl to add to the cake. It is one of my favorites in the rotation at any time of day. Highly recommended. Read Less
Another great blend

C&D does this mixture with exactly the right proportions. The Latakia works perfectly with the burly tobacco. Acting mostly condimental. Just enough VA leaf. My next purchase will be a lb.

I used to like English blends exclusively but then as I got older I just couldn't palate latakia in large amounts so I switched to American English blends to satisfy my evening smoke. My dad smoked Blue Boar when I was a kid and when I saw that this ... Read More
was a copy of that old blend i had to try it. Now i never smoked blue boar as it was long gone before i picked up a pipe, but the first time i lit this up was at dad's and he said it smelled just like he remembered blue boar. The latakia is a condiment, backing up the earthiness of the burley. This is a solid blend and one i reach for when i don't want any casing as is usual in american English blends. Read Less
很精彩的一款调配

我在抽完4oz以后，可以告诉大家这是一款相当成功的白肋。不仅是甜，更准确的应该称其为甜美。加入的一点拉塔基，让他的香味和烟气都十分迷人。除了有一点点顶喉，和过重的胡椒味没有其他的缺点了。

A wonderful meat and potato’s kind of blend. That wisp of Latakia adds just the right amount of complexity. The burley are truly delicious. In a wide pipe, it loses subtlety and smokes more like a savory, simple burley. In a narrow bowl, the complexi... Read More

A Burley blend that is never Boar-ing!
June 24, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Morley's Best Bulk
I'm not a huge Burley smoker, but I do enjoy Burley blends if they are exceptional and well blended. Morley's Best is a highlight for me. I love Latakia mixtures, which is why I initially tried this, but where Latakia would normally dominate a blend,... Read More
here it is merely a condiment that mellows the sharper Burleys. The Virginia too is relatively low in the mix, providing a sweet character to round the blend. I am glad they use a VA broken flake here, I think it helps this blend be the slow-burner that it is. C&D uses some of the best Burley I've had. Morley's Best has three different cuts all strutting their stuff. It has a hearty nuttiness, a clean waxy-tooth feel, never bites, and packs and lights splendidly. Each bowl is so well behaved and flavorful. Some Burley blends remind me too much of cigarette smoke which turns me off, but I get very little of that with Morley's Best unless I let it dry out too much. Unfortunately, I never tried Blue Boar and I don't really know much about it. I've read that Blue Boar additionally had Turkish orientals and figure it wouldn't be hard to add some C&D Izmir (in small amounts) and give that a try if Morley's Best isn't true enough for Blue Boar fans? Just a suggestion. Cornell & Diehl never ceases to amaze me with quality tobaccos blended in so many unique and delicious ways. Among them all, Morley's Best manages to stand out. Enjoy. Read Less

MB has turned into one of my favorite bands. I love this stuff. I'll be buying this in larger quantities from now on.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Morley's Best Bulk
我去，这是什么鬼，点燃的一瞬间我竟闻到Latakia的味道！迅速查看它的调配，组成部分果然包含Latakia，这是个意外，在C&D打折的那几天我购买了多种看起来不错的烟草，但我可能是大意错把它收入囊中。一直以来，我始终抗不住Latakia的气味，它对于我来说有些不可忍受。确实已经很久没再尝试包含L的调配，想着既然已经点燃就继续一次吧。也许Morley's Best终究还是Burley调配，Latakia的含量只是很小的比例，随着缓慢的抽吸节奏，我开始一点一点的接受，到了后段，竟然开始有些喜欢它。... Read More
那么多人 深爱Latakia，接受不了对于我来说或多或少有些遗憾，那意味着有三分之一的美味与我无缘，也许，我有了一个小小的期待，Morley's Best会为我缓缓地开启一扇门。 Read Less

If I couldn't smell the Latakia, I don't think I'd know it was there. Virginia is all but absent, too. Just smoke straight Burley and you'll get the idea.
Magnum Opus Morley

Product: Cornell & Diehl Morley's Best Bulk
I’m an ardent fan of Bob Runowski’s blends, and have smoked lots of his other creations through Cornell & Diehl. Old Joe Krantz and Crowley’s Best are among my favorites, and I truly appreciate Haunted Bookshop, my first burley. Morley’s Best easily ... Read More
became another favorite, but more importantly, I understood mere seconds into my first bowl why many deem this blend “Runowski’s Best”. I should add that I say this as a burley lover who isn’t typically as passionate about English blends.
The tin note will convince a newcomer that it’s a straight-up English, maybe of the mild variety. But soon after igniting it, one of the more notable traits of the blend become clear. The Latakia merely kisses the burley, as does the Virginia. And the Latakia does not dominate or even vie for control—and no “Latakia bomb” here! Runowski in effect produced a burley-lover’s English, and quite possibly his masterwork. It’s also telling that Runowski must have been quite a fan of American writer and pipeman Christopher Morley. Haunted Bookshop and Shandygaff are Morley novels (and two of my favorite blends). And for this blend to carry the name “Morley’s Best” signals C&D’s clear confidence in the quality of their tobacco and blending. That confidence is surely justified! 5.0 stars. Read Less

g with Epiphany. It begins as a good Burley, then I taste the twang of the Latakia, and then a nice sweetness from the Virginias, all of which slowly develop, meld with each other, and become fuller as the bowl progresses. It's a tobacco with which I've had more than one "nirvana" smokes and one that I recommend highly, but don't think that you'll make the wife happy with the room note. Trust me. Read Less

This is my first Burley blend, and I'll admit I was a little hesitant to try Burley because of all I'd heard about it. I just didn't think I would care for it. Each time I fire up a bowl of MB all I get for the first 10 minutes is smoke, but then it... Read More
develops into this wonderful nutty sweet smoke. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. Hopefully at some point I'll get something more out of the first 10 minutes. If you're not fond of Burley or are reluctant to try them as I was, give this one a shot. Read Less
Simply fantastic
March 17, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Morley's Best Bulk
Being a fan of Haunted Bookshop, I was curious to see if Morley’s could top it when I packed my first bowl of this Burley, Virginia, and Latakia blend - for sure an ‘American English’, and oh what a delight it is! It’s not necessary better than HB (I... Read More
pick them each with equanimity), but I tend to go to Lats when it’s colder out. Like most fine blends, it can be harsh if pushed - which is easy to do given it’s absolutely delicious. Stop reading and order a sample. If you’re a Burley fan and want something different and amazing, here it is. This and HB are my favorite Runowski blends. I’ll be buying this by the pound, curious to see how DGT ups the ante. UPDATE: I’ve found that DGT doesn’t really help the flavor. In testing, I’ve let it sit passed a good char light for up to two hours. To my palate, non-Burley blends have the best results with DGT. Probably obvious to you seasoned smokers :-) Read Less
