Blending - White Burley is a solid, fundamental tobacco. It's slow-burning, so it can be used to tame a hot blend and the flavor is rather neutral, somewhat reminiscent of walnut or pecan with hints of cocoa. It's useful in blends that seem to be a little too strong flavor-wise, as it can soften the taste of the tobacco. It's also a good choice to smoke straight when you want something that's mellow and stays fairly cool.
