Just thought I’d post this 2-minute clip. If you’ve ever wondered how your Dark Fired Kentucky got that way, here’s the UK Ag Department giving you a picture, with no commentary.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
I also thought it was just processed Kentucky burley.Jeeze, what all I don't know. I thought dark fired was processed burley, not a different strain of tobacco, so I learned that.
I knew that benzopyrene is a product of most burning, but i didn't know it was intentionally reduced in curing tobacco. All the steps and labor, it's surprising it can be sold at the prices it is. Highly informative videos. Thank you for those.
I'm glad dark fired has been taken up as an alternative or addition to Latakia and Perique, which seem to be default condiments in many blends, and somewhat over-used -- love them though I do.
Welcome to one of the best kept secrets in America. It’s flat beautiful in Kentucky.I'm moving to Kentucky next month, hopefully downwind of that barn.
