| Yesterday a buddy of mine came down for a visit and brought some incredible 30+ year old straight Burley Flake by Peretti's. I'm looking for a great straight burley flake which can be bought perferably in bulk that I will age for many years. I've already given Wessex "Burley Slice" a try with mixed results. I find it either too moist in the tin or too dry after being left out for a time....
Anyone have any great burly flake recommendations? |

| Hey Ken, do you have to special order this from Peretti's? I see no mention of it on their website. The reviews on TR sound interesting.

| You have to ask for it. It's not listed on the site. I need to go looking and see how many years is on some I bought. Not that many yet I think. _________________  Current pen & ink. 1930's Replica Pelikan M101N Tortoise Shell - Med Nib Ink = J. Herbin - Éclat de Saphir |

Tobacco: Lots of burlies, some balkans and the occasional Va or Va/PER. I like some aromatics but use them sparingly.
Favorites are: Wilderness, Old Joe Krantz, Exhausted Rooster, Filmore, Chelsea Morning.
Pipe: Savinellis, Doctor Grabows, Gatlinburlier.

| For my money, I'd say the best available tobacco of this type is Solani's Aged Burley Flake. It's a little like Wessex, but far richer and with a lot more nicotine. I dislike Wessex's product, as I feel it's way too mild in all departments. Solani is pricey, though.
Hearth and Home's Classic Burley Kake is nice, too, but it's a mild aromatic rather than a straightforward burley flake, so it doesn't appeal to everyone. If the prospect of a little anise topping doesn't bother you, though, I also recommend it. |

| Mac Baren's Navy Flake is a Burley flake.
Peterson's Irish Flake is a dark-fired "Kentucky" Burley flake. Stout and heavy! |

| Finding a bulk burley flake is a tall order, Doc. The only one I know of is C&D's Safe Harbor and maybe Exhausted Rooster. Some other flakes with burley not mentioned are Orlik's Dark Strong KY (no longer made though some say that Heinrich's Dark Flake is the same), Butera's Kingfisher, and Kendal Cream. Good luck in your quest.

| I would also suggest the C&D Safe Harbor Flake. They had some problems with the early batches but the later ones are tasty indeed.

| I hope they are pressed harder than their other flakes. I have some on the way. _________________ Current pen & ink. 1930's Replica Pelikan M101N Tortoise Shell - Med Nib Ink = J. Herbin - Éclat de Saphir |
