Stonehaven Replacement

[vosBghos]

A Youtuber pipe maker made a video about alternatives to Esoterica and other "unicorn" blends and said of course it's not like it but hits some of the notes was Cobblestone Hiking. Though advertised as a Burley it's a VaBur. It was a sleeper but got found out and is sold out in many places but comes around enough that getting a tin or two ain't that hard.

I like Irish Flake, which is a topped Virginia-Burley flake that I find similar enough to Stonehaven (which is also, incidentally, a topped Virginia-Burley flake).

For what it is, Irish Flake is a great smoke in its own right. I didn't like it as much fresh, but after a year or 2 I really came to enjoy this blend.

I've never had Stonehaven, but many years ago I heard a few people compare MacBarens Burley Flake to it. I love the stuff, but can't compare it unfortunately.

Damn straight he is! I heard him on a podcast. His whole family was in an internment camp during WWII. Bleak time in our history.

Lol. Wasn’t sure what emoji to use. I stuck with love mainly before the first half, second half is rather sad indeed. You’re a good dude Doc

Btw. I’ve read enough forums to suspect Stonehaven doesn’t taste like it used to. Don’t want OP to spend a bunch or go through hurdles just to be let down.
