Nice blend, was not as impressed as others by their reviews
The name, the blend description, the reviews left by others, I was expecting something outstanding... I was a bit disappointed with the actual experience of smoking this. Was it bad, definitely not! It was a nice blend that I will happily finish the tin, but probably not order again or wait a couple of years and give it another shot as my palate changes with experience. I didn't get the pepper notes, but nice flavor and easy to light/smoke with a bit of tongue bite at times (I am still learning to slow down).

OK
The Emperor has no clothes. At least for me. Too strong. Taste no burley, only Virginia and Perique. Not going to throw it out but not going to order again either.

A staple in my Cellar
Burley tobaccos are what I always lean towards when looking for an all-day smoke. I like the strength of this for all-day enjoyment. Nice how a nice hint of perique warms it up near the end of the bowl. It's one of those smokes that leave you wanting more at the end of your pipe, really enjoyed all the way through.

Strong
This was good but very strong. I only go for more mild aromatics, although a friend wanted to try something more like a cigarette. Still too strong for a pipe.

Haunted Bookshop
A super smoke with just the right amount of Perique !

Burley at its best
Haunted Bookshop is a blend that grows on you. When my son bought it for me I wasn’t sure how much I was going to like it. I occasionally smoked it for a couple weeks giving it a chance. I had to learn to smoke it slowly to keep it from getting a ashey taste. Now I have it matched to the proper pipe and I find I smoke it every day. A pipe with a wide shallow bowl seems to work best, or a cob. It’s an acquired taste for sure but well worth the time and patience. I will keep a jar full from now on.

Great Burley
Dry pillowy smoke, slightly sweet and bitter, very nutty and a tiny bit of spice
