Grand Croupier: Boneyard Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-651-0002

It may be a luck of the draw, but the odds, at least, are in your favor with Grand Croupier's Boneyard. While it's comprised of a random assortment of English/Latakia blends, they are high-quality English/Latakia blends, themselves composed of quality leaf to start with. You can expect a good smoke, at a very good price.

The Virginia hides in the background giving a little sweetness, and in the front is a combination of Latakia perique along with plain burley. The bulk note is sweet and woody, accompanying with some smokey aroma. Comes with ribbon, broken flake, cut plugs and other coarse cuts.
The right bet, good smoke, cheap price

boneyard, Dark name, fun game. I'm a winner here, a sweet and sour taste experience, with soft smoky, leather fumes wafting through my nose and mouth. I also want to bet again and wait for the next launch of the game.
Decent American Style

Very rustic, very rough, very characteristically Cornell & Diehl. Not refined, it has that gritty, sort of dusty, homespun character that you get with non-aromatic American Burley blends, the country-codger baits. Cavendish is not listed in the components but there is definitely some here. Definitely some Dark Fired Kentucky in this run as well. The several Latakias are nice, but I would have liked more. All the different cuts make for a troublesome burn. There's flake, broken flake, plug, cake, ribbon, shag, some coins, etc., and each cut burns at its own rate. It's all over the place. Many, many relights required. That's my biggest gripe. The flavors are interesting enough and they mostly work well together, but it does not burn well at all. Still, it's worth a try. It's different every run, so it's never the same blend twice. Maybe I'll try again in future. Two pounds should be enough for a while....Read More

I scored a pound of Boneyard in May 2023 for about $20. I love bold English blends with lots of Latakia, such as Star of the East, Father Dempsey and Stimulus Package. Although the batch I received is pretty light on the Latakia, it is still a fine smoke that I typically enjoy as-is. On occasion I'll mix the last pinch from a heavy Lat blend into a bowl of Boneyard which really helps kick it up a notch. All in all a worthwhile purchase. Hopefully Lady Luck smiles on me again very soon so I can order more....Read More

This stuff is remarkably good, which is why it sells out FAST. I just ordered two pounds of it and it was sold out within 30 minutes. That should tell you all you need to know. There is no recipe, but I find it to be fairly consistent from batch to batch.
Oh Wow!

I never dreamed that this would be as good as it is. Although it's scraps and your milage may vary depending upon the mix, the pound I received was some of the best tobacco I've ever smoked. The blend isn't all ribbon. There's broken flakes, rough cut and literally chunks of heady Latakia. I can't wait to roll the dice on this again....Read More

Sure, it's bag ends and probably scrap swept off the floor, but it's damn delicious. If given a choice between Balkan Sobranie and ty his, I'll to make this.
It Just Works

This reminded me a lot of congregational singing at church. It seems like when you get a lot of voices together, the individual voices inevitably come together to make something greater than the sum of the parts. This tobacco is like that. It's pretty good stuff, for the price, I don't think it can be beaten. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to make a steady diet of it....Read More

Every time I load up a bowl, I can't wrap my head around how they sell if for what they do! If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? You have next to nothing to loose.
Worth it, but let's not get carried away.

Twenty bucks for a pound? Yes, its definitely worth picking up at that price, no doubt about it. It's hard to describe the smoke, because there's no proportion control here. Each smoke is different as is each bag you buy. Some bowls, your thinking its ok. Other bowls, its wow this is pretty amazing stuff for $20. Some smokes are Lat heavy with Perique and some are flat with just Latakia. Its a gamble, hence the name....Read More
