The robust American pipe tobacco mix Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop is based in Burley and is renowned for its traditional profile and robustness. It is a cult favourite among seasoned smokers who value a high-nicotine, flavourless blend and is named after Christopher Morley's 1919 novel.

This blend was developed by the late Bob Runowski and is primarily a Burley mixture with a hint of Perique and red Virginia.

Many people give Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop a nicotine strength rating of 4 out of 5, which puts it in the medium-to-strong or full category. Although some aggregate databases classify it as "Medium," seasoned smokers agree that it has a strong "nicotine punch" or "kick" because of its high Burley and Perique content.

Because of its strong, natural tobacco taste, Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop is often regarded as having a medium-to-full flavour strength, usually rated 3.5 to 4 out of 5. It is characterised as a "no-nonsense" blend that places more emphasis on the unadulterated intensity of its ingredients than on nuanced sweetness or additional aromatics. 

Burley Dominance: The main flavour is a nutty, earthy, and robust Burley. This results in a cigar-like foundation that is dry and woodsy.

Perique Influence: A notable "peppery kick" from the Perique, which gives the retrohale a spicy, zesty intensity, is frequently noted in expert assessments.

Virginia Contribution: Although they are there, the Red Virginias only provide a faint, transient sweetness that serves more as a smoothing agent for the Burley's jagged edges.

Bookshop Vibe: As the name suggests, the aroma reminds many consumers of cardboard, aged paper, or a musty, cherished library.
