Old Joe Krantz & Burley Flake #1

[MortarMessiah]

I just bought a couple cans of OJK and BF #1. Im looking for anything like Haunted Bookshop. Was going to buy another 8oz can of HB, but decided to give these two a try. I've heard quite alot about OJK, I haven't heard much about BF#1. But it had good reviews. I'm looking for a good Bur/VA/Per trio blend.

I've enjoyed CD Three Friars, CD Exhausted Rooster and GLP Barbary Coast.

If you like haunted bookshop, I am sure you'll like both of these. Let us know how it goes.

I've enjoyed CD Three Friars, CD Exhausted Rooster and GLP Barbary Coast.

So I almost got Three Friars but because of the reviews I was hesitant. I've heard Exhausted rooster is good I forgot about it. Barbary Coast has been on my list to try for awhile now, I've had Haddos delight which was good and I heard it's kinda like it.

 

[MortarMessiah]

Haddos had to sit for a month or so after I opened it, for it to mellow out. It was terrible at first, but after couple months it taste amazing.

Three Friars is a solid va/bur with perique in my opinion

I'll have to try it.

GLP Cumberland is another very good one.

For my tastes one of my all-time favorites. I really enjoy Three Friars.

I have around 10 pounds of HB and around 30 tins of BF 1 and 2 cellared away. They've been in my rotation now for years. OJK is up there but it the classic CD perique "cheese" aroma is a little too strong for my tastes. I suggest you give CD's Big 'n' Burley a try. It's latakia, perique, burley, and oriental, but the latakia and oriental are very much in the background. It's sold in bulk, too.

edit: my suggestion isn't even close to what you asked for, lol. my bad.

You're gonna like Old Joe Krantz

OJK is worthy of the praise it receives.

Wish I had 10lbs. Of Haunted Bookshop. I just love the stuff. I go through it pretty quickly.

I will also attest to OJK and Three Friars being stellar blends for any Va/Bur/Per fan. These and Haunted Bookshop showcase the best side of these tobaccos in my opinion. I will also suggest C&D Billy Budd Blonde. It is Bur/Va/Per and adds cigar and a little black cav but is not flavored. It's another go to blend I keep in rotation.

 

[Ahi Ka]

Have you tried triple play

 

[super88piper]

I've been meaning to try OJK and Big&Burley for awhile now but just haven't gotten too it yet. I started with Haunted Bookshop and then tried the Burley 1-5's. Of those 6 blends i tend to prefer HB myself.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

BF#1 is one of my favorites. Being one of the strongest blends C&D makes, it comes across like a VaPer on steroids. I like to smoke it as the last pipe of the as I prep to go to sleep. You might want to keep a bite of chocolate handy in case you get the spins a bity.

 

[Pipke]

You will like OJK. I'll second the recommendation for GLP Cumberland - a VaBur with a bit of perique - the burley is DFK.

 

[K.E. Powell]

OJK and HB are both Bob Runowski blends. You may enjoy his other blends, such as Pegasus.

Night Train may be worth a shot.

+1 for Billy Buddy Blonde. Fantastic blend
