Pipe Smokers Forums

Haunted Bookshop is very good..BUT I find OLD JOE much more to my liking..

I use HB to amp up or draw down other blends..it cuts some of the Latakia
in Morleys Best, making a good slightly sweet smoke..it also tames BIGnBurley a bit for the times you don't feel like being jerked around by the shirt collar..
I have found it to be a very useful tool which is good because I have a good bit stashed away

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.

I recently purchased some HB from P&C and I like it. It definitely has a smell and taste that seems, to me at least, like something really old. There is a spookiness to the aroma for lack of a better word. YMMV
