Stokkebye 314 Dark Fired

[NightShayde]

This blend is very strong. It is as if one were to take a burnt piece of wood and laced it with chili powder and black pepper. It is very tangy and spicy but it grows on you. It's a blend that is a once a day or once a week smoke. So if you like spicy tobacco, this blend hits the mark 100%.

As a single tobacco blender it's not bad on its own though maybe a bit mild. I use it to change up familiar straight Virginia blends.

I wouldn't say it's mild but the complete opposite but again it is based on one's palette. I agree that it can be put into a blend that may be very sweet to tone it down.

Wait until you try Old Dark Fired, Bold Kentucky, Rustica, mapacho, or tambolaka.?

I though that Stokkebye's Dark Fired had been discontinued. It was missing for a while, and I am glad that they brought it back. I use it kick up some lightweight blends and to add some spice to a few aromatics. I rank it as a low medium in the nicotine department.
Stokkebyes adds something to the dark fired that gives it a slight sweetness that I prefer. Or, somehow it turns out slightly sweeter anyhow. But, I don't really ever just smoke this one on it's own.
Good stuff!!

Yes, I checked online before I posted, but for a few years it was discontinued. Thank you for making me aware that they've brought it back. I have missed having it to blend with.

I prefer Dark-Fired Kentucky (DFK) as part of a blend. It plays real well with Virginia leaf and regular, air-cured Burley. I like some Latakia blends that use it, too.

Another interesting straight DFK tobacco is Gawith, Hogarth & Co. Kendal Kentucky. I believe the Gawiths get most of their DFK from Africa, specifically Malawi I believe, and between the difference in origin and processing techniques, it's pretty distinct!

The GH shag is potent stuff but outstanding in flavor. Lovely DFK.

I will try the PS 314 as a blender component as well.

Massively different blends!
I haven't tried mapacho or tambolaka, but did not like Rustica much. I found my first flake of Bold Kentucky quite harsh, while Old Dark Fired is the first tobacco I bought bulk of, so go figure.

I find them quite similar with the exception of BK's earthiness a bit more pronounced than ODF. The higher percentage of Virginia in ODF makes it sweet while the higher percentage of Dark Fired in BK made it more earthy. Both are quite mild for me.

Agree 100% with the description, need to smoke more of the Bold Kentucky to form a more complete opinion, but ODF is a big favourite of mine, and more or less allday smoke.
