acco so much? When there are plenty more that taste more appealing? I am not a fan of perique tobacco, and it is quite detectable in this blend, although I love burley and the perique really brings out the nuttiness.
Burns extremely fast, and contains lots of chunks of unbroken flakes, but it is so easy to keep lit. I can feel when it needs a tamp, or the ash dumping, or a pipe cleaner in the stem, and for this reason it is my favourite for taking outside to smoke - pretty much hassle free, strong enough on windy days and nearly lights itself!
The first time I tasted it I remember saying to myself how "savoury" it tasted, and I had never tried a blend like it. I was expecting something sweeter. However as time has passed I feel it does have an almost sickly-sweet taste at times which is indescribable. Definitely unique and very pleasant.
Nicotine hits fast and hard from around middle of the bowl, but I often get an ultimate/nirvana smoke from HB, and I attribute that to the nicotine content, very relaxing and satisfying.
In my opinion, it is best smoked in a corn cob, I have a Great Dane pretty much dedicated to it. Charred rim, tanned in color, stem a little too loose after much abuse, but for me Haunted Bookshop and my favourite corn cob pipe are two of my very best friends. Read Less

Not heavy on the perique, it displays the nutty properties of the burley leaf better than OJK.
Great Burley blend

I’m a big fan of burley and this didn’t disappoint. Not a super full flavored blend but definitely enjoyable for burley fans. My first tin came at a perfect moisture content and smokes very easily. Will order much more.
Simply sublime.

tter as I learned to slow down with it...third and subsequent bowls are telling me to order more. I’m bad for grabbing what’s on top of the stack of tins and a favorite pipe as I head out for my almost daily mountain drive. This tin kept getting grabbed along with a favorite 50 year old Jost Canadian. What a fine combo for my taste. Moisture level in the tin was just right but needs to be maintained or it will smoke a bit dry and hot. Otherwise, a near perfect blend for American tobacco lovers. Not like anything else I’ve smoked. Runowski’s loss was a big loss. His legacy is noteworthy. Read Less

One of my favorite blends. The burley tastes excellent and the right proportion of perique makes this tobacco perfect. Do not bite the tongue, room aroma is not annoying. Beautiful blend.

I love the high nicotine of C&D mixtures, and am a bit of a burleyphile. So it’s little wonder that I gravitate towards C&D and really admire C&D’s use of burley in most all of their products. I just can’t get past the Perique. It has a sweaty gym so... Read More

The use of large amounts of Dark Burley in HBS makes this one a deeply earthy mix to be sipped, and the fungus like Perique stays in my nose and cloyingly stays on my clothes.

This is a beautiful tobacco. Sweet and strong. Smoke slow. My cat really likes when I smoke this stuff, I almost can't smoke this in peace because my cat needs me to pet her although I can't refuse when she's being affectionate. Highly recommended.

So I bought some more... An already long story short, I Really am loving this tobacco Blend lately and am picking it over almost all of my other favorite blends. The Nutty-ness from the burly is really tasty as well as the Perique is spot on where it needs to be to complement and add a little spice...I don’t know for the life of me why I didn’t care for this at first but I’m so glad I came back.

ever need a relight! Also, I could sip it slowly. It required little work in my cob and my nice bent apple. So if you like stout burleys, this may be for you. I bought an ounce b/c I wanted a burley to build a cake in a new pipe, and I must say that the cake is off to a good start. But ashy taste of the burley and the nicotine punch in the face are too much for me. However, I've found that cutting a tad into sweet aromatics evens them out a bit. I'm glad I tried this, but I discovered I like my non-aromatics with more complexity and a bit smoother. Read Less

burley. I've hoe'd, suckered, stucked, and hung burley. Even one of my grandfather's was named Burley. So when I got a new cob I sat down to smoke HB. At first, it was rough, but smooth out soon enough. It went from nutty, to sweet, to chocolate, back to nutty. For me it's got the right amount of Perique to bring out the good qualities of the Burley. Smokes cool, smokes right, tastes good, can't bite. Recommended for Burley smokers. Read Less
A Quintessentially American Blend
July 27, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop Bulk
Haunted Bookshop is everything I want in a Burley blend. It's nutty, spicy, smooth, and behaves very well in a variety of pipes. Its tin note is strangely reminiscent of an old book, but in a good way - which is probably where it got its name! The fl... Read More
avor profile is fairly simple, but it's not a one-note song. With a wonderful nuttiness, the Perique adding a lovely bit of spice, and bright and golden Virginias rounding-off the sometimes rough edges of Burleys, H.B. is a masterpiece of flavor! At a glance, it seems there isn't much Perique in it, but the flavor balance of H.B. is perfect. The one caveat is that it's strong in the nicotine department, about a 7 out of 10. For nicotine sensitive smokers, I'd recommend Briar Fox instead. As far as H.B. is concerned, it's by far one of C&D's best products. I've smoked about forty different C&D blends, and this is easily in the top five. Finally, H.B. ages very well - I'd guess because of its Virginia and Perique content - so it's definitely worth putting some in your cellar. After just a year, it starts to improve in both flavor and aroma. If you haven't tried H.B. yet, you're missing out! It's as American as apple pie - and equally as tasty! Read Less
