Wonderful mouthfuls of delight await your gentle flames' impending caress. These chocolate-background, white-text-labeled mixtures have achieved a true nirvana of blending goodness. Instead of thinking of this merely as an offshoot of Haunted Bookshop (though perhaps still a relative!), it must be considered as its very own thing. There's a cleaner (less "dusty") mouthfeel and a different painting of light than what comes through the bookstore's window. Sweetness and purity are waiting for you here- even before you arrive! Included (of course) is the burley's wonderful richness and sturdy base of goodness. Reminding one sometimes of an oatmeal cream, and other times of a stout mocha, the red Virginias, playing betwixt the perfect amounts of burley and perique, provide that enchanting sweetness you'll pursue with glee, like kaleidoscope chameleons darting in and out of the stones and shadows near a jungle glade. If you've chosen to smoke Joe, you've certainly made an excellent choice. Cheers!...Read More

If the nicotine wasn't so strong in this I would smoke it all day. Love it.

If you like burley forward blends, this is a must try. Nutty and toasty with just enough Virginia for a faint hint of sweetness.

I have a high tolerance and I will get the sweats from this one if I rush the cadence. If you are a heavy cigarette smoker looking to make the transition to pipes, this would be a good blend to try....Read More

Wow. It’s Burley, alright, but dark, earthy, and almost leathery. Maybe even a little rubbery. I’m getting straight-up soil from this tobacco. Unlike a lot of Burley blends, there isn’t much sweetness or nuttiness here. Instead, it’s leather and earth from the start.
There’s also a peppery quality on the retrohale that I’m assuming is the Perique making itself known. But the dominant flavor is unmistakably leather. I taste leather. A lot of leather.
This is probably going to be a very pleasant tobacco for someone whose palate is better suited to this sort of thing. For me, though, it’s a little rough. Not offensive, exactly, it just has some serious attitude. This is a bold one....Read More
