So many Times I see the Haunted Bookshop, Old Joe Krantz, and Three Friars grouped together as a Trilogy of sorts. I smoke all three and have always felt that Three Friars was the odd ball. Obviously The former two blends do have a lot in common, both have variations of a common theme.
Yesterday was cellar digging day, and I dug out a 4 Year old tin of Chenet's Cake. Opening the tin delivered a blast of Earthy Prune, Antique Raisin and that lovely compost burley. Crumble cake, easy to pack, and off to the races with 35% Perique, Red Virginias, and burley loaded in the chamber.
As I smoked this "Truffle", taking in all the flavors , it suddenly dawned on me. Three Friars cannot possibly be considered a variation of a theme in association with Haunted Bookshop and OJK. No, not any longer, Chenet's Cake must take this honorable spot.
So if you are interested in Burley and Perique with virginias added, new to the pipe world (or never tried) and want the best Representation there of; Haunted Bookshop, Old Joe Krantz, and Chenet's Cake are the three steps to a total understanding of how Wonderful Burley can be.
*****This is just total Fan based drivel that happens when the pipe becomes so much more than a tiny fire near the nose and chin. Subjective and fun.
