This is a combination of three burleys (rough cut, white & cubed), Virginia flake and Cyprian Latakia.
Notes: Reminiscent of old original Blue Boar blend.

This is one of the finest burley blends that I have tried. I am glad to see that there are a few blenders out there who are using burley in an artful way. Most burley blends just don't cut it for me. Most are very monochromatic, burn hot , are over cased and leave a foul taste in my mouth. This on the other hand smokes cool, has little or no casing, and leaves a nice finish. This burley blend also has some complexity as well. The latakia and virginias play very well to the varied burleys in this blend. For those who don't like latakia you still may enjoy this blend in that it realy sits in the back and enhances the burley. This is a very tastey and refreshing blend. I highly recomend this to those who have tried bad or awful burley blends in the past and are open to trying a high quality burley blend.

The burley in this blend dominates and, in this case, this is a good thing. This tobacco is a winner. It has a mainly nutty, burley taste that is beautifully smoothed out and enriched by added latakia and Virginia. Olfactory memory is the most primitive, and one of the most powerful, of our sense memories and Morley's did it for me. After my first three puffs of this stuff I was six years old again, riding in the pickup truck with my grandfather. It's a wonderful, old-time taste and aroma and I like it a lot. It incorporates all that was good about the old-fashioned drugstore tobaccos, but this one is made with quality leaf and is not topped with any goop. I recommend it strongly.

This blend is simply great in my opinion. It burns great with no bitterness nor bite, and the nutty flavours from the burley are in charge with the latakia riding shotgun. The latakia is not at all dominant but a condiment that makes à steady impression.
Not overly strong but still packing a punch, so be careful if nicotine is an enemy of yours.

Meat and Potatoes. That is the best analogy I can provide for this blend. Is it the best blend I have ever smoked? No, but it gives a solid consistent smoke bowl after bowl.
The latakia gives it a nice buttermilk creamy taste, the virginias give it a subtle sweetness, and the burley provides enough body to know your smoking something. This is strong enough to satisfy my nic cravings at anytime of the day.
This blend won't knock your socks off in sublime flavors, but it's a trusty companion throughout the day and has become my general all day smoke.

I wish this was more accessible. you have to order it only. I love this and it would be an everyday smoke for me - Great taste and with all the orchestra playing in tune - the flavors interplay each other and come to a crescendo. Great great smoke from Mr Tarler.

I love Burley and I love latakia. This is a great blend if you like theses two flavors. This is probably the highest quality of this sort of blend that one could come up with. It's barking dog with much higher grade tobacco taking him from the junk yard and making him a very classy pooch. what a combination. All day smoke at any season. and the room note as never got me in trouble.

Spectacular blend. The appearance is unique and the hetergenous mixture makes for a interesting smoke everytime. Chunks of the wonderful C&D burley, interspersed latakia, bold chips of pale white burley leaf, dashes of virginia not quite married, but all wed by common-law. This is so cool with a tremendously full mouthfeel, tinted wisps of humbled yet rich latakia working through the burley base. I find this to be less cigar-like than Haunted Bookshop, but is in the same vein. This is an all day blend if you like this sort of thing.

Morley?s Best is a blend that is supposed to replicate Blue Boar. I don?t recall smoking Blue Boar specifically but I must have as I tried all of the drug store blends and its taste reminded me of a blend I had smoked on occasion in the 1970s. As some other reviewers have noted, this is a classic American burley blend and a darn good one. The burley predominates and it has what I would call a sharp, flavorful edge to it with no bite whatsoever. In short, a very pleasurable smoke indeed!
I rate this tobacco 9.85 out of 10.

A really solid burley blend. The addition of latakia may throw some off, but it shouldn't, as it is only a light, condimental supplement that adds a minor sweetness that begins at the charring light and carries on through to the rest of the bowl. Morley's Best is nutty, somewhat tangy, and ever so slightly spicy. It is smooth, does not bite, and is not overpowering in the nicotine department, though your mileage may vary. A thoroughly enjoyable smoke that is made all the better by being available in bulk. Highly recommended.
