Kentucky Burley, 1lb.
$21.99
Back by request. Burley is a major component in most cigarette and pipe blends, but because of the amount of preparation that is required to make it palatable, we recommend learning all you can before attempting to use it. If you do not want to go through all of the preparation time, you can use raw Burley as a “condiment” by adding 5% -10% to your blends.

I have never tried this baccy but am looking forward to blending some of this in a pipe mix.
I can only attest to the delivery and condition of the product.
Delivery was fast and the leaf looks to be in perfect case and condition as usual.
Happy holidays to all the good people at WLT.

Excellent and strong burley. A touch of sweetness and that nutty and earthy flavour. I highly suggest stoving this tobacco(just spray heavily with some water and put it in a baking pan with some foil tightly on top @ 200f for a few hours (4-6). It really mellows it out as it’s a bit intense fresh from the bag.

Excellent Leaf! Well packed at just the right moisture to shred. I use it as adjunct with Ohm Extra Bold for my RYOs. It delivers a real flavor and nicotine hit to get my blend exactly as I want it. If you are looking for a bit of a boost in taste and satisfaction this Leaf is the answer. For reference, I do not toast this prior to use. It comes out of my shredder ready to enjoy at about a 25% ratio to the Ohm.

The name “Burley” is very common in types of tobacco,
but for some reason, the taste is not present or defined,
it is difficult for me to know
But it add something to the mix
for me personally the taste reminds me a bit “Nutmeg”
whether to recommend or not in doubt,
maybe there are other “Burley” styles,
but this one is not defined/present for me.

At the time of writing, this particular crop has had a few years to age, and it tells. Excellent quality, large leaves and good case for shredding out of the bag, but let sit and dry a bit before trying to smoke. Wonderful, deep and chocolate nutty aromas. I haven’t tried toasting or processing it yet, but it does have a tendency to overpower a blend rather rapidly, and change the overall profile of the smoke which tends to linger and have more aftertaste than VA or Turkish types. If using for cigarette blends, I’d suggest starting at no more than 5% and going from there.

I usually get red burley tips but they didn’t have any so I got this Kentucky burley instead. Nice large whole leaves, very easy to strip. The colour is almost of a caramel brown and smells quite nice. I use 40% Burley with 20% lemon, 20% first priming and 20% dark fire, I’m sure this burley will do the trick. It’s thinner leaf vs the red burley tips so will burn well. I won’t smoke it for awhile as I let it sit for a few months but I’m not worried as it has all the characteristics of a good leaf.
