I'd agree with DonH. Maryland doesn't have taste really. It just gives the kick at the back of the throat. I use a small amount of burley.
Briefly, my blend is 3/4 VA flue cured, and over half of that is light, like Lemon type-the rest is medium brightleaf and VA Red. The other 1/4 of the blend is approx equal parts burley, MD 609 and turkish, usually mixed izmur and prilep. I use WLT's casing for flue cured tobacco. Medium strength and good taste. I gotta go easy on the burley--too much makes the blend too strong for me, but some burley is essential to a good tasting cigarette, IMHO.
