A lot of people would consider Haunted Bookshop a Hand Blended tobacco. Same goes for blends like Old Joe Krantz and Bayou Morning, two of my other favorites. The difference is that I find remnants of full flakes in Haunted Bookshop, and not in the other two. Why would C&D not offer Haunted Bookshop in it's original flake form? I would think it might long term age better. Some people also like the versatility of a flake, because they can decide how to prepare it. C&D, are you out there? Give me Haunted Bookshop Flake please! :lol:
