Where most C\u0026amp;D Burley blends are famously \u003cem\u003euncased\u003c\/em\u003e — a rare approach in the industry — #5 brings back the traditional Burley casings of anise, rum, and molasses. Reeves's explanation: Burley sits high on the pH scale, which can make it alkaline and sharp. Blending with Virginia drops the pH; the right casings drop it further and round the smoke into something smoother and softer-edged than a pure Burley would be. #5 is Reeves's take on that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burley Flake Series (#5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jeremy Reeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burley Based\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponents:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Burley · Dark Burley · Red Virginia · Bright Virginia · Dark-Fired Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anise · Rum · Molasses (traditional Burley casings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody \/ Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pleasant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States (Morganton, NC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 oz tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tin opens with that unmistakable Burley Flake #5 bouquet — sweet anise forward, nutty cacao from the Burleys underneath, a soft rum undertone, and the dry-smoke edge of Dark-Fired Kentucky. On the burn, the anise and molasses settle the Burley's natural pH edge. Red Virginia carries natural sweetness through the middle; Bright Virginia brings lift and a cleaner finish; Dark-Fired Kentucky weaves in BBQ-smoke spice without ever taking over. Burn slow — this one gets bitter if pushed, but with a measured cadence it's cool, round, and consistently sweet to the nub. Comparable in character to Irish Flake and Stirling Flake, but distinctive for its anise-forward signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gateway to the Burley Flake series.
