Finally found a straight burley I can stand, and it’s a cheap one.

Five Brothers in a pouch.
Pretty straightforward stuff but not too bad.

Good for the drive to school when I’m not concentrating too hard on the flavors.

Rumor is, it has a hell of a nicotine hit, but I just smoked 2 bowls back to back in my Dr. Grabow Savoy and am not feeling much.

OK, try this experiment - shave all the hair off of your chest, then smoke a bowl or two of Five Brothers, then watch it grow back within about 15 minutes :)

Seriously, you must have some resistance to Uncle Nic, bcs that's some strong stuff.

Actually I was about halfway through the 2nd bowl when I typed that.
By the end I felt it. Wasn't sick, but I felt it.

Have you ever tried Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake? It’s the only burley that I like.

I have, but I smoked it fresh and gave the remainder of the tin to a friend who likes it.

I need to re-visit it and give it another shot. I've had a few blends that I didn't like at first, but then later did enjoy.

Truly sublime pipe weed - when you can find it.

It's more manlier that Peterson Irish Flake? OK, not a straight burley blend - but it has burley in it... and it was so stout that the first time I tried it I was watching purple flamingos and a line of pigs do a CanCan across the ceiling while I debated Frodo Baggins and Carl Jung on the theory of Synchronisity.

Nope, haven't tried that one (& based on your description, I think I'd remember).

Irish Flake is good stuff.
Everybody should at least try it!

I’ve tried Irish Flake. Don’t plan to try it again. Just not my tin o’ weed.

Yezzir, but in a pipe with a small bowl. My mistake was trying to smoke it in a MM Egg... nicotine high/sickness from hell was the result. Finally worked my way back up to it by acclimating with some MacB ODF. Smooth sailing after that - but still smoke it in a pipe with a small bowl... like a Falcon Bulldog or a Pete 999.

I love Irish Flake.
For some reason I smoke it more when it's cold outside.
Not sure why, but it just hits the spot for me in the winter.
