🔹 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.

• 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.
