[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 496135, member: 3775"] Just finished my second bowl of C&D's Burley Flake #1 and wondering what to do with it. On its own I find it overly sour tasting and a bit on the harsh side. Tin notes of earthy, dried mushroom, a hint of cocoa powder and a sourness like raw walnut shells - very different from other Burleys I've tried. Flavour for me is similar to tin note, though the sourness fades as I work through the bowl. There is Perique in the blend, which adds a fair peppery note to the sour. I must admit I'm having a hard time appreciating this baccy at the moment. I'm wondering if I could blend it with another tobacco to tame the shrew a bit? I've got some Stuliff ERR Match blend on hand that I find a bit on the boring side. That would certainly keep it in the Burley family..... Or perhaps play with adding VA to sweeten things up a bit? Suggestions welcome. At Canadian pricing, I can't afford to throw away a tin if I can salvage it. [/QUOTE]
