Jim's Revised Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Review.

Well this story has no good news for me. DSF used to be one of my favorite blends.

Can anyone name a blend that they thought tasted better after a recipe change? Just wondering.

This was purchased in Jan 2021. Don’t have production date, but would assume it was late 2020

If you read the description at Tobaccos Reviews, you'll see the original contents label is different: Classic golden brown Piedmont and Old Belt Virginias. Natural tobacco only, this slow burning, mild yet flavorful cut plug is a favorite with traditional flake lovers.

Interesting, although disheartening at the same time. I'm interested in opening one tin from each blend I restocked on to do a side by side comparison. Wessex, Rattrays, Mcconnel. I've yet to open new tins on alot of these

i don’t sorry, but @SBC might as they came in the same batch

Just seeing this - sorry.
I'm afraid I don't know what year this was, but here's the label from the can I sent you:

If anyone here has problems with red Virginia, you don't have to worry about the 2016 version of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. I can smoke it with no problems and will it be great in another 5 -10 years.
I plan on testing the 1996 version after I finish my 1998 tin.

Flowing over from the sales thread, @JimInks have you tried a recent production of HU Aus dem krater Nos 5?

 

[JimInks]

No. I sure would like to so I could find out what it is now. My overseas buying is history.
