I was in my local tobacconist's shop (The Tobacco Barn in Lake Forest, CA) recently asking about non-aromatics and the gentleman recommended a bulk blend called Grandfathers (a cube-cut? burley ), and a 2oz tin of Old Joe Krantz. I purchased both and had a bowl of each. I'm now out of Old Joe Krantz because I couldn't stop going to it but boy howdy does it pack a punch. It's a brilliant smoke with a glass of Tullamore Dew after a nice steak dinner but I want it to be an anytime go to smoke. I'm sure that I'll be buying some Haunted Bookshop, and a rope of something soon, but by all accounts, they're just as strong or stronger. Are there any tobaccos with a similar flavor profile/mouth feel but with less nicotine or is that just the nature of the beast?
I am working my way through the Cube-Cut Burley now. Enjoyable, but I haven't figured out the best way to load the pipe or tamping or something for a consistent burn. It may have my personal record for relights on a single bowl, going all the way back to when I didn't know s***.
Regards,
Dale
