Haebar reviews Cornell & Diehl's Haunted Bookshop

[Haebar]

This is a very intense Burley blend. It has rich Burley body and depth of flavor. There is not a lot of complexity here but lots of good Burley tobacco taste. There is just enough Virginia and Perique to keep it from being cloying, not enough for a balance of flavors. In terms of nicotine strength, this one is substantial, definitely above the mid-range of the spectrum. It has burned dry and cool in every pipe I have smoked it in: Orlik billiard, Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman, and a Sunrise Canadian. HB is easy to light and it stays lit with very little effort. Mine was a bulk tobacco and was smoked right from the bag with no air time. It is a very satisfying smoke if you like Burley tobaccos. This is one that I will be coming back to in the future.
