Part of the dark fired new wave. Some of these trends fall flat, but having sampled the Mac Baren flake, I think dark fired is here to stay as a staple of many variations and blends. It has depth and resonance. If you like full strength tobacco, and tolerate burley, these are mighty satisfying. Now the comparisons begin. I suspect many of these blends will end up longstanding favorites. I don't necessarily follow the crowd, but in this case, I may follow the crowd. I see one or more of these in my rotation.

Yes I have noticed the recent rave of dark fired kentuckys. I Did just have a bowl of heinrichs dark strong and my does it taste like black licorice.

I just placed an order last night and decided to pass on the Orlik tin special because the DSK was back ordered. Oh well.

I think its good but I don't think I will reorder it until the craziness dies down around it. If I bought a bunch right now, it would just be me hording it for the sake of hording. I know its not apples to apples but I prefer McClellands Dark Navy Flake and its much easier to get. Just my opinion, Cheers!

The taste and body of PH or MB Dark Strong should not be compared to the "Dark Fired" blends. Neither is anywhere near their strength or nic content. A whole different animal.

mso489, This is a bandwagon worth jumping on.

A number of reviews of Peterson Irish Flake (another burley-based flake with a dark-fired component) claim it has an anise (licorice) flavor as well.
