BURLEY
Burley Varietals are Light Tobaccos which are popular for both cigarettes and Pipe Tobacco blends. Originally a genetic offspring of a Virginia Varietal, Burley plants are a little smaller than their ancestors but they produce similarly broad leaves. Burley is naturally Air-Cured in a process that lasts between four to eight weeks: no heat or smoke is added. The result is a light reddish to dark brown leaf with a low sugar content and a mildly rich (nutty or cocoa) flavor approaching similarity to Cigar Tobaccos (Dark, Air-Cured). Burley is the second most popular Pipe Tobacco in the world because it burns evenly, stays cool, doesn't bite, and readily absorbs flavorings and Casing.
