Fascinating! Oh how I am salivating just watching this! I reside in the UK and cannot get hold of a decent "old fashioned" burley but have been fortunate enough to have tried "Old Joe Krantz", which I loved, and also some "Big 'n' Burley" which I absolutely adored! Yum!
Thanks Jeremy I've now tried 3 of your blends and enjoy them all. I would think the same batches of tobacco would give consistency in the flavor which I've noticed every product has your trademark "flavor". I like the higher nicotine content being a nic fiend I don't have to inhale and still get a buzz. Keep up the informative videos.
You explain things very well! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I love you guys blends! My favorite is opening night. a bowl of that delicious tobacco will make me feel better at any time on any day. I havent had a c&d blend I didnt like. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep cellaring.
Top marks, Jeremy. Very informative. I only wish there were more pipe tobacco videos like this one. I realize that Semois tobacco is unique, but it is air-cured, and does have the character of burley. Do you have any ideas on a way to combine the various burley types to mimic Semois leaf ? I imagine the way to get that mild cigar note of Semois is to use a little dark burley. Semois has a fantastic room note: nut-like with a tiny bit of spice similar to Dutch cigars, rather than the more typical heavy cigar note.
Are those clay pipes? What type of pipes are those and would you say they are the best pipes to use while blending and tasting before the finished product is completed and used in a specific, permanent pupe of choice?
I’m curious about Jeremy using a clay pipe in these talks. Is there a specific reason for choosing a clay in these circumstances? I enjoy the discussions and I smoke many of his blends.
So the difference in white and dark burley isn’t necessarily the varietal/ seed but rather leaf position for different qualities the plant gives its leaves as well as the fermentation process afterwards. Does white burley move towards the properties of dark leaf with aging (I understood that “composting” them is basically speeding up a natural process)? Let’s say you’ve got a big stash of white burley, after some 3-5 years of storage the leaf turns out with more flavor and or nicotine?
No, it mellows out. The fermentation in dark burley is done in pilones(like cigar leaf) which produces heat and darkens the leaf. Aging it doesn’t produce such heat so the fermentation only mellows the leaf.
N Sill I find the Haunted Bookshop to be not too heavy. Same with Redburn. Old Joe gets an extra kick from the high Perique content. If you wanna dabble with burley but don’t want too much nicotine some OTC blends like Walter Raleigh it Prince Albert may be good.
I'm trying to imagine clove and wine flavors/notes, and I just can't, lol Burley always seemed bolder bodied to me and earthy. I need to smoke some dark then white to see aboit this chocolate and coco notes
Body chemistry also factors into the notes you pick up. Some people might just taste cigarettes when smoking burley which is why a lot of people don’t like it.
Oooooo, my beloved HBS! Man, do I envy you your gig... Cannot tell you how much I enjoy these videos. So informative and fun.

Love your video, informative for whom want to learn more abt tobacco
What burley goes in to the C&D cube cut? Thanks.
This is super interesting! Thank you so much ! Do you have any book recommendation about tobacco types and processing ?
Are those clay pipes? What type of pipes are those and would you say they are the best pipes to use while blending and tasting before the finished product is completed and used in a specific, permanent pupe of choice?

So is the dark Burley a different varietal as the white as well or is it just stalk position and later harvest time?
What would a good base blend of these two be to start with, proportion-wise? Half and half? 2-1 white to dark?
Dark burley is strong and spicy and recommend more in smaller quantities.
Thanks Jeremy, love the videos!
Question. (to anyone) I am a nicotine light weight do you have any recommendations?
N Sill I find the Haunted Bookshop to be not too heavy. Same with Redburn. Old Joe gets an extra kick from the high Perique content. If you wanna dabble with burley but don’t want too much nicotine some OTC blends like Walter Raleigh it Prince Albert may be good.
TrippyJones great. Thanks very much!
In regards to nicotine, is there a difference between light and dark burley?
Dark burley is definitely higher in nicotine.
What is your clay testing pipe budget at C&D, I wonder?
What type of tobaco can immitate cigar flavour in the pipe?
Burley.
I'm trying to imagine clove and wine flavors/notes, and I just can't, lol
Burley always seemed bolder bodied to me and earthy. I need to smoke some dark then white to see aboit this chocolate and coco notes

C&D is the shit. Whatever blend of pipe tobacco you like C&D has it for you.
Are you guys still in business?
Lol are you in a cave ?
seams like every-time I smoke burley I get tongue bite.
i smoke straight blending white burley from pipes and cigars website...i buy four pounds a month
