Please stop teasing us with chunks of flake in Haunted Bookshop. Just go ahead and release Haunted Bookshop in flake format. Thank you in advance

Yes please, I have lazily been dragging my feet on the pasta press flake creation.

What I wonder is, if those chunks of flake consist of the same ingredients as the ribbons in the blend...

In addition to that, I fully second your demand.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Ever smoke this?

I haven't tried any of their burley flakes. For some reason they have not been on my radar

Burley Flake #3 is great

I would suggest one of each. They all bring something different to the table.

I love Burley #1, just received a tin of 2.

How are they different? I have read the descriptions but they say little about how they smoke.

I could be (and likely am) wrong, but I thought those chunks of flake in HB and similar C&D blends were only one of the components, the VA, if I'm not mistaken. That is, chunks of VA flake, which are mixed with various Burley ribbons and Perique. I sometimes notice pockets of sweetness in HB when I leave big flake chunks intact.

 

[seanv]

You are probably right

The differ mostly in terms of components, but some have matching components, presumably in different proportions. For example, #3 contains DFK and perique. #4 contains Latakia. I am trying my first right now, which is BF #3. I like it an awful lot. It is woody, spicy, and very full-bodied. Fairly stout in terms of nicotine. It goes really well with coffee. Keep in mind, it is a C&D Burley so it is stronger, sharper and a bit plainer tasting than some of the other (also excellent) burley flakes by, say, McB or K&K.

I would love to try a Haunted Bookshop flake. They could offer it as a special release to gauge demand if they're not sure about demand.
