Most veteran pipe enthusiasts are familiar with Cornell & Diehl’s Haunted Bookshop. It’s a hearty and bold blend of robust Burley, toasty red Virginia, and a good dose of Louisiana Perique. It has a deep flavor with notes of dried fruit, leather, and bread, with an underlying current of pepper. How could C&D possibly make it better? How about pressing it into a crumble cake?
Cornell & Diehl’s Haunted Bookshop Cake takes the original recipe and presses it into a firm crumble cake to marry the flavors for a more consistent experience, and the pressure and the resulting heat from the process will imitate the effect of long aging without all the waiting. If you’re a fan of the OG version, you’re going to love C&D’s Haunted Bookshop Cake.
At first I was kinda confused on the taste,
About a week into smoking it, it grew on me. This is some pretty relaxing stuff!!

I’m beginning to prefer these blends

This is a nice smoke. I think I liked the “Whimsical” better but I have now begun to prefer the blends with St. James Perique. I started out smoking the more aromatic blends because they smelled really nice, but I find these cake blends to smoke more evenly and the taste is fantastic.

Nice and smooth and smokes well with minimal dottle. Definitely will be ordering again and keeping it on hand.

I like regular Haunted Bookshop, and this is a step up for my taste. I’ll be buying it again if available.
