Need a Recommendation

mrenglish · Sep 3, 2014

Hey all,
I normally smoke ODF and enjoy the heck out of it. However, I would like something that has a similar taste profile but stronger, any suggestions?
I already smoke plenty of 3P's and University/Irish Flakes so those are covered. I guess something between ODF and Irish Flake would be ideal in terms of strength. The important thing is the flavor be somewhat similar to ODF.
Thanks!

I can't think of anything that tastes like ODF, yet is stronger. Maybe try Capstan Blue (though I doubt it's stronger).

There are some dark flakes, like G&H Dark Flake Unscented (hah!), and Peter Heinrichs' Dark Strong Flake;

but the flavor of G&H may be off target for you, and I haven't yet tried the Heinrichs blend. But these are places to start searching.
Maybe this post will give your question a bump so that somebody else can come up with better suggestions.

D&R Rowland Platinum is a tad bit stronger, IMO, but it has a little bit of a cigar tone to the flavor because of of the madura leaf in the blend. It is also way drier fresh out of the tin, which takes some getting used to.

Maybe G.L. Pease Jacknife Plug? Somewhat similar and plenty strong.

I don't like ODF personally but I would second jackknife plug. It is strong, but tasty.
