Sound interesting for sure.Welcome from Indiana!
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation had a limited run this year of something called Peaty Kentucky. I passed up the chance to buy it, but I was able to smell the blend. Sounds like it might be just your thing. Perhaps they'll do it again in the future.
Glad you're enjoying the hobby. This is a great community. I've learned a lot here in the short time I've been smoking. Invite your friend if they're not already a member!
I'm loving it. It's like having a strong coffee and a dark smoky whisky all in one.
I've got one blend from my local tobacco shop which is heavy in latakia and dark kentucky Cavendish. Really good.
