Got my order from pipesandcigars.com in yesterday. Two of the tobaccos I ordered were Burleys. Scottys Butternut Burley and Peter Stokkebye Bulk Burley. Like both of them. The Scottys kind-sorta reminds me of Half &Half but is milder with less of the nutty-fruity odor that you get when you open a can of Half & Half. The Stokkebyes I really like! It smells like tobacco in the pouch!! No nutty-fruity stuff-just tobacco!! It is the mildest burley I have ever smoked! Smokes good all the way down. Very Happy

It cost a little more-$6.75 for 4 OZ. versus $5.96 for the Scottys which is what the Lane 1Q and the BCA cost also. Havent tried the Lane stuff yet,but I am suspicious of them! They both have the look and feel of being laced with PG's. Evil or Very Mad

Butternut burley is a good tobacco

I get a lite buttery nutty taste from it
it is mild enough to smoke all day and still satisfy
I keep a pound around all the time

Ps Burley I take is is the cube cut?

If it is it does have good taste but like Lanes BLWB it is not a stong tobacco

Thanks for mentioning those Ozark, I have yet to find a burley that I really like. I smoke PA fairly regularly and like it pretty well, but have yet to find a "desert island" burley. I like some of the other Stokkebye stuff so maybe I will try their burley.

I like Middleton's Walnut myself. It's a burley-based American-English tobacco. Burley by itself is pretty bland to me, but, then again, straight Virginias taste like soap. Guess I'm just a Philistine at heart.

Steverino,you're welcome! I have been smoking a lot of Sir Walter which I like quite well. But I think the can I just bought may get some aging time since I discovered the PS and Scottys--especilly the PS!

If you want something different in burleys, try burley blends with deer tongue. I love them eg: Capitail Stairs, C & D Crooner and Gold Nugget.

My mistake ozark southpaw I assumed it was the cube cut because thats the one most everyone tries first Sorry

Stokkeby is good tobacco I keep the Luxury navy Flake and Luxury Twist Flake around all the time
