Picked up a can at The Pipe & Tobacco Shop in Little Rock Arkansas over the weekend and I can’t stop reaching for it; I love it! I enjoyed HB before, but the cake, pardon the pun, takes the cake. I heartily recommend to burley smokers.
So. Has anybody tried it yet? I would be interested in hearing from someone who knows what the Regular Hunted Bookshop tastes like for comparison. I bought 10 tins but they won't be here until next week.
I got a couple tins in. I find that being in a cake form does what I expect -- melds the flavors somewhat, and smooths the edges. That said, I slightly prefer my ribbon version from my cellar (over 2 years old), but I think that's only because I never smoke it under 2 years old, and the cake is fresh, so it's a bit different to me. I've gone ahead and cellared it.
I guess that means I can't answer for two years lol.
