What is a Burley blend?
These blends have Burley as their major component. They usually pack a pretty good nicotine punch because of this, but the nutty flavor provided by the burley tobacco is a beloved and long-time staple of the pipe. It is sometimes called the “King of Tobaccos”. Suggestions for examples: C&D Old Joe Krantz, MacBaren Burley London Blend, C&D Barrister, C&D Haunted Bookshop. Yarnspinner, 2003-11-29 (Knoxville Boards) Mainly Burley, but may contain Virginias, Maryland, Carolina or Orientals. Most of the old foil-pouch blends (Half and Half, Carter Hall, Prince Albert) belong here.
