šŸ”¹ Overview

This is the crumble cake version of the classic Haunted Bookshop blend, offering the same bold Burley/Virginia/Perique mixture but in a pressed format for deeper flavor integration and aging potential. It’s part of C&D’s Small Batch series, designed for enthusiasts who appreciate a robust, traditional tobacco experience.


🌿 Composition & Cut

  • Tobaccos:
    • Burley – earthy, nutty backbone.
    • Virginias – mild sweetness and grassy notes.
    • Perique – peppery spice and dark fruit complexity.
  • Cut: Crumble cake—pressed and sliced, easily broken apart for smoking. This format enhances smoothness and melds flavors.

šŸ‚ Flavor Profile

  • Tin Note: Rich, earthy aroma with hints of cocoa, nuts, and a subtle fruity tang from Perique.
  • Taste:
    • First Light: Bold Burley earthiness with a dry, nutty character.
    • Mid-Bowl: Virginias add gentle sweetness; Perique introduces pepper and fig-like notes.
    • Finish: Consistent, hearty, and satisfying—no artificial flavoring.
  • Overall Character: Rustic, robust, and slightly spicier than the ribbon version due to the pressed format.

🧭 Strength & Room Note

  • Strength: Medium to strong (nicotine is noticeable).
  • Flavor Intensity: Medium-full, hearty and natural.
  • Room Note: Traditional tobacco aroma—pleasant for enthusiasts, neutral for others.

šŸ”„ Smoking Experience

  • Burn Quality: Cool and slow when properly prepared; crumble cake encourages a relaxed pace.
  • Moisture: Usually ready to smoke, but a short dry time can improve burn.
  • Technique: Break apart gently and pack loosely for best results.

🌟 Aging Potential

  • Pressed format makes this blend excellent for cellaring—aging enhances sweetness and smooths the Burley/Perique interplay.

šŸ“¦ Packaging

  • Tin Size: 2 oz (ā‰ˆ56.7 g), also available in 8 oz tins.
  • Presentation: Dense crumble cake inside a round tin.

Haunted Bookshop Cake is perfect for smokers who love the original Haunted Bookshop but want a richer, smoother experience with added aging potential.
