I have tried HB a few times and honestly it doesn’t do it for me.That being said if you like smoke it.OJK I have a bunch stowed away.Strong stuff indeed particularly on the retrohale. I need to be in the right mood for it.in the end there are other burelys I smoke more frequently.

Same on the “feel”thing.That being said I tend to go with a loose pack as opposed to a hard pack. I also fully rub out my flakes and coins.Granted the smoke is somewhat shorter but I feel I get more flavor this way.

Very interesting. The leaf might have changed somewhat over the years.Different crop perhaps.They also might have a different color to the key component to this blend imho “Brown burely”.Did it not taste like OJK?
