[QUOTE="The German Shepherd, post: 3787, member: 83"] Most burley, if it were not the for addition of something, would be unsmokable for most pipe smokers. This is because burley, in it's natural form, is very low in natural sugar content. This may sound like a bad thing, but it really is not a bad thing. Burley, because of its natural tendencies, makes a very good base for flavorings because it absorbs them very well. A good burley (note the use of the term GOOD burley) adds a richness to blends and has a flavor of cooked oatmeal. Burley also has a good "vitamin N" content naturally. Most Virginias, on the other hand, are very high in natural sugar content and, though you can use some toppings on them, they rarely need anything to sweeten them. Jay [/QUOTE]
