Dark Fired Kentucky

[smokingcricket]

What are some good blends that contain dark fired Kentucky?

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Orlik Dark Fired Kentucky. Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired and Bold Kentucky. Just to name a few. HU has a number of good blends with DFK in them.

For just straight Dark Fired Kentucky, Gawith Hoggarth & Co Kendal Kentucky.

All African grown leaf from Kentucky seed.

I keep it around to spike just about anything.

As mentioned the HU Directors cut is quite tasty if you can find a can.

 

[mrenglish]

Definitely try Mac Baren, Old Dark Fired, as others have mentioned.

Solani Silver Flake and G.L. Pease Sixpence.

I would not let my cat smoke Silver flake. Stay away from that stuff. tic

McConnell's Scottish Cake, Rattray's Hal o' the Wynd, Rattray's Old Gowrie, Bell's Three Nuns (Mac Baren). These all have Dark Fired as condiment.

GLP's JackKnife Plug - my daily smoke, outstanding stuff IMHO

I've tried a number of the above, and MacB HH ODF is my favorite. It's like smoking a seared fillet mignon.

Mac Baren ODF is a favorite

You need to try Black XX Twist.

Some great suggestions, but another new blend that has kentucky as a condiment lending a slightly spicy nuance is Mac Baren's HH Burley Flake. I love to take a VA flake and add one flake of HH Bold Kentucky; this renders a delicious bowl and the BK adds a smooth depth to the smoke.

I second Jack Knife Plug. I have been smoking that weekly for awhile and it gets better and better every day. I just pulled the trigger and bought 5lbs to cellar. Great stuff!

Old Dark Fired, JackKnife Plug, and I think GLP Navigator is an amazing sleeper blend. Virginia/Dark Fired with a very light (barely noticeable) rum topping.

Also what does He stand for?

HH?
Harald Halberg was the name of Mac Baren's founder.

Russ O.'s Fire Storm, a Va/Per with dark-fired, is one of the best uses of dark-fired as a condiment that I know of. Gives the whole flavor a deeper range and resonance.

One of my favorites not mentioned is Peterson Irish Flake. GL Pease Navigator is awesome with some 5-6 years on it.
