Dark Strong Kentucky is a delicious blend. The nicotine level seems akin to old dark fired or slightly less, which I would consider medium. This is a really fine tobacco for Burley lovers, not so much for others. (a close second). A whole new experience with my $50 beater Peter. Very misleading. This may be a mental thing, but to me at least, there is a smoky character from the Dark Fired Kentucky, a natural sweetness from the Virginias, and there is a maple or brown sugar like topping that has been applied before the tobacco was pressed and sliced, thus giving it the aroma and appearance of you guessed it, bacon. It took a few charring lights and a couple of relights before it was all over. Needed some relights toward the end of the bowl. What I did detect for sure was molasses. The Kentucky was dark and stewy, the sweetness of the Virginias accentuated by the barbecue molasses taste of the Dark fired Kentucky, held together by a light top note of licorice. I have to admit that If I had to choose Id have to keep on keeping on with this over the Golden Slice Orlik! Even though it is very cased it doesn't overwhelm me as fast as many aromatics do causing me to dump the pipe after a few pufs. Well, if it is, it is only mildly so. I never thought this blend was particularly strong anyway. The taste does not disappoint either. 99 1 Option Cornell & Diehl Cross-Eyed Cricket Premium Pipe Tobacco $10. Great tobacco. Due to many reviews below i was tempted to try this blend.when you crack the tin a sweet licorice and sugary smell comes out.the flakes are short cutted combing bright virginias and kentucky in right moisture.the flakes are very manageable and soft either to rub or fold as they are.i tried both and i prefer the rubbing method.lights almost easy (rubbed) and several relights are needed.while burning the flavours are rich and tastefull combining licorice notes,sweet notes,nuts,citruces and very rare some dark fruits with spices come out.the flavours are combined very well though the licorice topping some times is more present than the tobacco compoments not in a bad way.burns slow and medium hot to total ash with a bit moisture at the end of the bowl.the nicotine level is almost medium.no tongue bite for me.the room note is pleasant.depending on my mood it can be an all day smoke or not.a very descent blend but nor something unique.recommended. 2014 tin that I tried. Don't see that happening any time soon. Meanwhile, the KY gets earthier and smokier, and it adds a very slight bitterness.

So most of the tobacco lived in a mason jar for about 6 months. So this was a gamble. We will deny any order we believe has been placed by a minor. When opened the tin note is that of the sweet Virginia with a very noticeable Licorice topping, not overpowering but it is there. From time to time, I also like to add a touch of Perique to take it an extra mile. DSK, once rubbed out, smokes easily and leaves a dry bowl. The tobacco has a distinct Dark Fired aroma. With a name like "Dark Strong Kentucky" you might assume it is a very strong taste and might not be for you. This is a fairly strong, spicy tobacco. 5 (Kratermischung) -- identical!. The flake cut provides a beautiful contrast between the bright and dark tobaccos. When lighting you are hit with a sweetness you don't expect, and a mild smoke counter to the name "Strong". This one has a licorice smell to the Tin with a very nice presentation. The room note is not remarkable in ant way. DSK is a rich smoke and you think it is going to make you turn green when you start smoking it. Package note of dark fruit, sweet bread and spices. Especially the HH Dark Fired, which I had hoped to finally get my dirty paws on. Gets a bit stronger as the bowl progresses, burns very cleanly. No criticisms, a very nice one and glad its back. I think if you're a puffer, this could get rancid, you need to take this one slow. Round flavor of pain au chocolat and fresh-baked brown bread. Not sure how I feel about this one. Larsen's Curly Flake No. In the UK it's currently around 2 a tin cheeper than tobaccos of equivalent (or lesser) quality from Samuel Gawith, Rattray's, etc. Needed some relights. A little more natural tobacco flavor is evident here. A little hint of liquorice lingers on in the room long after the pipe has been smoked. This is a must try for those who favour natural blends with medium-hi nicotine and without Latakia. Aftertaste starts out slightly ashy but soon levels out as best-of-the-smoke, redux. That is, assuming you have never seen Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake which looks identical. I was disappointed in my expectation, but not in the actual product. At the match, I definitely get the Virginia up front, but the taste is primarily Burley. The majority of reviews mention about molasses. The flavorings do diminish near the bottom of the bowl, and I get a bit more of the typical dark-fired flavor just before it's done. However if this is practiced, you'll be rewarded with a rather strong but satisfying and enjoyable smoke. If you are concerned that this is just a more powerful version of Prince Albert or Sir Walter, relax, this is a much finer class of burley than what is packed into the pouches of Albert and Walter. There was no bitter in the profile, and it never tasted ashy. Will keep in stock. (Dark Kentucky)! Be the first to know about new product releases, specials, and shop events.
