Since I have smoked a pipe for 25+ years, and consider my taste somewhat experienced, it is difficult for me to admit that I like a brand that is inexpensive and readily available. It is simple and true. Sweet burley from top to bottom. If you like burley, and don't mind being economical, I would highly recommend this one.

Tin Aroma: This blend has one of the most appealing tin aromas I have ever encountered. It reminds me of my mothers kitchen, laden as it is with vanilla, sugar, and spices.
Physical Characteristics: A short to medium cut ribon burley. A light to medium brown color. Packs like a dream, smokes easily, and leaves a dove gray ash.
Notes: Burley, Burley, Burley! I love Burley, and this is probably my absolute favorite burley blend. Good thing I can get it at the drug store for about $$6.00/lb 🙂 I love this in almost any pipe, but in a corncob, it becomes one of the most sublime of all my smoking combinations. As a matter of fact, it is singlehandedly responsible for my discovery of the corncob as a wonderful pipe. There is a wonderful blast of sweet burley flavor upon first light. Soon after these first few ecstatic puffs, this blend settles down into a wonderful, slightly sweet, mostly nutty smoke that does not require full attention in order to reap giant rewards. Excellent with a glass of iced tea (thats sweet tea for all you non-southerners), outside anytime, day or night. The bottom of the bowl becomes slightly more nutty than the beginning, but never does it exhibit the feared burley end-of-bowl ashy taste. I usually get one final blast of sweet burley smoke right before it goes out, though why, I am not sure. This is not only a relatively inexpensive blend, but would also serve as a wonderful introduction to the world of burley tobaccos. I have experimented a bit with blending this blend with other blends to see what it goes well with. It pairs well with 5-7% perique or 15-20% bright virginia. I have yet to find a latakia or oriental blend that matches well with this, but you really should try the burley/perique blend. It is sublime.
