Picked up a tin of C&D Dark Fired Kentucky at a local cigar shop yesterday. Smoked a bowl last night, got another one lined up for tonight.

I bet it has some punch to it straight.
How is it ?

I like it alot. It has a good dose of nicotine, and the flavor is excellent...subtle sweetness with smokiness and spice. I'll be buying this in bulk. I'm sure I'll try a little blending but it's great straight! Smoking tonight in a large bowl, Peterson Irish Harp Lovat. Last night was a little Rossi Piccolo.

I’ve been waiting for it to get cold to open this 2008 Vintage Syrian. It is sublime. I’ll be stretching this to smoke throughout Christmas.

Sillem's Councilor 1695 Flake. I like K&K flakes because they're cut thin but keep their shape when folded. This batch was almost bone dry but managed to stay intact when folded.

Was once a truly great blend but has lost that mantle now.

2016 Dunhill dark flake, smells good enough to eat.

I figure you guys have all seen countryside, Northwoods, and probably Christmas cookie too. So I didn’t take any pics of the bags or jars from those blends but I’ve never seen a YouTube video or any pics posted anywhere of Dans Blend so I took a few pics of it. Here’s the websites description.
Dan’s Blend - A blend of Golden Long cut Virginias. Mild, and cool blend. If you like Virginias this is a wonderful, gentle, smooth smoke.
It’s listed under the aromatics. I’ve never smoked any of these so I’m a happy camper tonight.
Figured a straight Virginia aromatic would be interesting. The topping aroma is very light. I get just as much of the grassy, hay like Virginia notes as I do the topping. It has a similar aroma to Boswell’s best blend. But not as pungent. Almost like they use very little topping in this blend.
