    Burley Thoughts

    I’m still somewhat new here. My first foray into piping was Early Morning Pipe and Nightcap. Both fantastically flavorful. But sometimes you something less flavorfully strong. Then I tried Haunted Bookshop. In a small way, it reminded my of the Camel Lights I enjoyed in my youth. Woodsy...

    Sometimes I Think Pipe Smoking is dying...

    I agree. fb came along as the new shiny thing, a one stop for all. Then it became the nightmare it is now with constant adds and sponsors. I find I’m returning to the few forums left leaving the facepalm behind.

    It appears I made the right choice. A bit anxious to try OJK and compare to HB.

    Old Joe Kranz

    While running errands, I conveniently found myself near a tobacco shop. I couldn’t pass by without stopping in. The other day I enjoyed 2 bowls of Haunted Bookshop I jarred 3 months ago. I found I enjoy the simple burley flavor. Anyway, my plan was to purchase another tin of Haunted...

    Haunted Bookshop and Pirate Kake first timer

    Maybe age will enhance HB. I’m not too keen on sitting in a 30 degree garage to smoke a bowl or cigar. So, the jars are aging. HB has a good jar aroma.

    What Pipes Do You Wish You Had?

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Cool, thanks for this tip! The unravelling has mainly happened on ultra cheap cigars I try now and then. And when I accidentally allow one to dry out. It surprised me that a La Gloria right out if the walk in humidor would have this happen.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
