[QUOTE="cakeanddottle, post: 169598, member: 1656"] I am primarily a Lat blend smoker, but I do like Burleys and straight Va's as well. As far as Burley being a fad, well that is just ridiculous. There is nothing so American as smoking Burley. It's one of our traditions, and the great drug store blends that are still around are still around for a reason, not to mention all the great blends of yesteryear that C&D has recreated. The thing about Burley is the delightful nutty body it has, yes, but more importantly that it is consistent from match to heel. Always. A reliable friend. A constant of tradition, trust and comfort in an inconstant world. I didn't get Burley at first. Thought it was boring. Kept at it, and eventually I accepted Burley on its own merits. I like it better than Va's, and when I'm not smoking a Lat blend it's almost always Burley in the bowl. The odd morning smoke (I'm a night smoker) is always Burley, without deviation. So Burley a fad...too bad Mr. Runowski isn't still around to add his thoughts to that one. That's ok, just means more for me and the brothers here of like mind. [/QUOTE]
