    Hello from Covington, Louisiana

    Greetings from Norco, CA. Have been enjoying MacBaren's Balkan Blend too. Love burleys too - some good Peretti's and I enjoy blending my own, using burley, virginia, and a touch of Latakia or Turkish.

    Prokofiev with pipe

    Hmm. Did Orff write for guitar? I'm only familiar Caramel Burleyana.
