Old Dark Fired in a Falcon
I ordered an ounce of the ODF ready rubbed in December, because I wanted to start trying some dark fired tobacco, and I wanted see what this one was like before it disappears. The jar note--strong bbq sauce--is interesting, but not particularly appealing. After yesterday's delicious C&D Burley Flake #1, I decided that today's the day for the ODF.
I packed some into my smaller Falcon bowl without any drying. At first it was overall boring: not much flavor, little aroma, and too many relights as it kept trying to crawl up and out of the bowl. I was about to give up and have some Lancer instead, when I hit the 1/3 mark, and suddenly started getting a lot of rich flavor as well as aroma. I actually tasted bbq sauce once or twice, but mostly sweetness, wood smoke, and occasionally some charred meaty flavor. I didn't want to like this, but I guess I'm going to have to troll the sites and see if I can find a little more before it's gone, and some of the Bold Kentucky too.
