So I'm a Burley guy... what does that mean?

[Musicus]

I've tried a lot of different tobaccos since I started using a pipe last December, probably close to 20. Most of them I don't like, but the ones I do like have a common thread - Burley.

So... what does it mean to be a Burley guy? What recommendations does the community have for me?

It means you mostly enjoy burley. BTW I enjoy Peretti's burleys, particluarly the Cuban mixture and the Belmont.
I also like Amphora's Burley.

Maybe give C&D's Night Train a try. It's not a pure burley, but it certainly has nutty burly as a component. It might be a decent introduction into VaPers too. It's a very "pure" tasting tobacco too. If you have an interest in dark fruits, like prunes and dates, it'll give you that too.

What piece is it?

"The Woods So Wild" by 16th/17th Century English composer William Byrd. I play another song of his that I like a lot called "The Bells." If you can find Julian Bream playing "Woods So Wild," he plays it on a lute.

Loving Burley indicates that you have superior taste.. (Sorry. Couldn't help doing that)
I have over the years smoked mainly burley..
My favorites are:

Old Joe Krantz and Bayou Night
Pegasus is another.. reminds me of an OTC back in the 50s and 60s

If old Joe and Bayou Night have a bit more Perique than you might like, then Haunted Bookshop is a good sub..
If you like some Latakia, then Morleys Best is good..

While I like Morley best and haunted Bookshop each on it's own, I prefer to mix them 50/50 .. I call it Morleys Bookshop

Thanks for the suggestions, whitebriar! Been meaning to try Old Joe Kranz. I already have HBS, but I'll look into the others as well.
