Dark Strong Kentucky. But friends don't let the label on the tin scare you away from this most excellent blend. Updated review 7-10-2015: The new version of Dark Strong Kentucky is different than what I used to smoke in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This looks alm ost identical to Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake and the flavor profile is similar, but I'd be willing to wager that Dark Strong Kentucky is cased with lots of cocoa and orange extract, sweetener (molasses?) This is a fantastic Bruley Flake! Bargain! Rating for those interested in numbers * stars. Not bad! But the opposite is true with this one! Just not willing to take the chance. This is a solid smokeand it may be one I'll keep around. I get a very slight licorice note but not as much as molasses, and I have an inkling that the licorice note is actually from the cavendish and dark fired and that there is not an anise topping, (though there could be a slight one). I bought a 100 gram tin of Mac Barens Bold Kentucky at the same time and it's sitting in the shelf while DSK is disappearing quickly. I got my first bit of DSK from Mars as a sample and immediately fell in love. Especially anyone who is into pipesmoking. Upon opening the tin one is greeted with an attractive ensembal thin rectangular slices with contrasting golden and dark tobaccos, along with a light topnote of fermented fruit, that seems to evaporate after a few days. The tobacco smells are quite faint and indistinct by comparison, with the earthy, semi-pungent KY on top, and grassy/bready VAs on the bottom. It lit well and smoked nicely. Sail Aromatic combines the mystique of the Orient with bright, clear Virginia leaf. Now the details. Despite extensive drying time, moisture collects at the bottom of the bowl. Box pass, anyone? I was not over-powered by the harshness I was expecting to find with the Virginia tobacco, but found it to be a very pleasant smoke with no tongue bite. However the underlying tobacco is not what I would call strong. Enough nicotine for sure. Aroma: Baked fig bars, maraschino cherry, dark chocolate, clover honey, rosemary, pomegranate, danish pastries, blackberry jam, grape juice concentrate. It took a couple of light, tamp, light rituals but one fired up, it only need one relight. This is a nice solid smoke. Orlik - Dark Strong Kentucky | Confessions of a Pipe Smoker Too much puffing will overheat the pipe so take it slow. When it as reintroduced a few years back, I was extremely enthusiastic and quickly proceeded to acquire a reassuring quantity. I found that this tobacco delivers a smooth, medium strength smoke, plenty of nice clouds to enjoy. If you aren't into much heavier Kentucky blends, this may be right up your alley. This may be cased but I think that some of the natural sugars shine through due to the Vas. Purchased From: S.G Roi Tobacconist (B&M). Sad to see you guys are discontinuing this one. 1.75oz Tin. I don't see myself cellaring this blend but I will happily finish the few remaining bowls I have after a little time in the jar. All in all a great burley blend. The smoke is thick, fairly cool and with a pleasant mouthfeel. Aesthetically exquisite. In the tin, the smell is raisin/fig with something else I cannot identify. Get a Diplomat cob and dedicate it to this blend; you'll be reaching for it quite often. Plug/flake project - How to grow, cure and process tobacco. Not only do the flakes look like bacon, to me, they smell like bacon as well. The tan and black striations reveal golden virginia sandwiched between layers of DFK. I am sure many people go to this as an all day smoke and I can see it's appeal in that capacity, but there are just so many other interesting tobaccos out there. I'm sure that's where the scent of that was, but I couldn't discern it. In the UK it's currently around 2 a tin cheeper than tobaccos of equivalent (or lesser) quality from Samuel Gawith, Rattray's, etc. I will say I found it to work and taste best in a very small pipe which belies the fact that it is not that strong in nicotine to me. It is rich earthy, nutty and chocolatey; and it is strong. After this tin sat in my motorhome for two or three months, it had given up some of the initial moisture. No problem there. If you are a lover of Virginias, but want something velvety and less bright, I'd say this could be precisely the smoke you're looking for. Definitely superior to the similar W.O. It definitely has its place. I've smoked 2 tins of DSK and I must say I'm a big fan of this blend, so much so that I've put up a few tins for aging. The multicolored flakes are thankfully pre-cut to pipe bowl size. This characteristic carried over into the smoke, which was surprisingly quite sweet. Just pops right in perfectly for anything around a group 3-4. Great smoke in the morning with coffee to get one going.

The tinned tobacco they included in the boxes could vary. Gawith Hoggarth & Co Kendal Kentucky Vintage Cut Pipe Tobacco - 500g. It does have a nicotine reminder toward the end but not so intense as to be off putting. Lots of kentucky taste here with a good nicotine kick! It smokes well to the bottom of the bowl, though like many burley blends can be a little one dimensional, so it might not be everyone's all day smoke. The tin note has changed before it was molasses forward now the licorice is way out front and it did translate into the smoke as I don't recall it being all that noticeable when 1 yr old; otherwise the taste is the same overall. I found it easier to just rub out a whole stack at a time and put it in my pouch. For me, right on the borderline C+/B-. There's nothing drastic about the tin-note, there's maybe something sweet, but nothing that screams 'added flavour'. I don't like misleading names and descriptions. It has a nice nutty sweetness that balances with the Virginias. I thought I'd like this one a lot more than I did, though I did like it. I highly recommend this tobacco. So, I wanted to say thanks to the friend who encouraged me not to trade off this tin without opening it and giving it a whirl. Nice, two tone flakes with real tobacco flavor with just a bit of licorice and it was good and fresh. This blend can be smoked folded and loosely stuffed straight from the tin, and IMO it tastes best like this, albeit it then requires several relights, if ones pace is thoughtful.
