Expect a full, toasty Burley character with nutty depth, earthy body, and a subtle hint of licorice that adds quiet complexity without stealing the show. Crafted for a cool, steady burn, it’s a must‑try for dedicated Burley enthusiasts.
- 100% Burley—unadulterated, full‑flavored leaf
- Flake cut for slow combustion and cool, even smokes
- Medium‑to‑strong body with balanced, robust flavor
- Classic nutty/earthy profile with a faint licorice undertone
- Heritage recipe honoring traditional Burley craftsmanship
In the bowl, the profile opens with toasted grain and roasted nuts, settling into earth, cocoa husk, and dry wood tones. A delicate licorice/anise whisper appears on the retrohale, rounding the edges and lending a refined finish. Smoked with a relaxed cadence, the flake format preserves cool temperature and steady flavor from charring light to heel.
Preparation Tips
- Fold‑and‑stuff for a slower, layered burn and deeper body.
- Rub out to a medium ribbon for easier ignition and a more uniform pace.
- If moisture is high, air 10–20 minutes to reduce relights and highlight sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any topping?
Primarily natural Burley character; some detect a subtle licorice/anise nuance that enhances depth without reading as a heavy topping.
Does it bite?
Not when sipped. Burley prefers a slow cadence; proper dry time helps ensure a cool, steady burn.
How does it compare to other Burleys?
Expect a toasty, nut‑forward profile with firm body—worthy of comparison to respected Burley houses like Solani or Uhle.
Does it age well?
Yes. Cellaring further integrates flavors, deepens toastiness, and smooths any rough edges.

First of all, if you are a straight burley fan, it’s not easy to find great blends as often as for Virginia fans. This might do it for you though. It’s a medium to full bodied burley with toasty and nutty notes. Many say that Solani or Uhle has the best burley, I think you should try all three and be the judge.
