The Virginias are sweet and a little heavy. The flake cut provides a beautiful contrast between the bright and dark tobaccos. I truly enjoy the deep flavor, sort of prune like, and deep tones of darkened caramel and nuts. I continue to smoke this in corn cobs, although I do not think it would infest a pipe. Its quite moist out of tin and Ive had this jarred for 6 months and visiting it today the moisture is still there just as the day I opened the tin. The room note is pleasant. When I asked the gentlemen who recommended this blend to me what it was like, I was told that it couldn't be described. The presentation of the slices are very pretty. Nicotine level is surprisingly mild to me. The taste is just what I was hoping for from this tobacco. Drying may be advised: I have to use two q-tips to drain my pipe's shank every bowl, though I find the steam very tasty. maybe some time in solitary confinement would straighten it out? No bite or harshness. I occasionally get a deep tang, presumably from what Red Virginia is present. Something a little different. But I really enjoy the tin note. The flake cut provides a beautiful contrast between the bright and dark tobaccos. Those two blends are very similar. It is unilateral, not complicated. Hopefully, you know what Latakia is and how it's made, Kentucky (or DFK, as it's known in my club) is made with Burley in much the same fashion; smoking the Burley with woods and herbs to impart a smokey, woodsy, earthy and often barbecue-like spiciness to the leaf. The taste is refined and delightful, with enormous volumes of rich, soft smoke. If anything, I rate DSK as a medium strength dark flake, with a very obvious Burley-Kentucky component, but with enough Virginia to give it an admirable balance and zest. First you have a layer of DFK, then comes a layer VA and finally a layer of BC lightly cased with licorice. I will update both of these reviews very soon, but for now I'll say that I am currently enjoying OGS quite a bit and to he honest I'm a little baffled.. pleasantly. I have at last found another burley blend which I not only can tolerate, but actually enjoy. I repeat, cheap! So I am not marking this down in stars. The flavors were of various spices and nuts, with a nice dark molasses background. Had a nice after taste that pleasantly lingered. Taste is both sweet and nutty and has just a hint of anise in the smoke and on the younger. When I'm in the mood for this kind of blend, I'll stick with Heinrich's DSF - to me it has a more subtle, less manufactured flavor along with a bit more Vitamin N and more dark-fired flavor. Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky is different from all other tobaccos I have smoked. This is definately good and is worth a try but if you would like to try a virginia burley flake that is wonderful and superb try the 111 flake by Paul olson( another blended flake by Peter Stokebye). Very enjoyable smoke, smooth and not bitey. The Burley is of a very high quality and does dominate the blend. A bit on the strong side I thought and fairly difficult to light,etc. Not different enough to pull me away from University Flake or Irish Flake. High quality, clean burning, and delightful. The tobacco itself comes in flake form that I like to rub out and , with a little drying, burns very well. I didn't know this had a licorice topping and interpreted the taste as a fermented yeast, malt, and molasses like in a dark bread. Grab a new Missouri Meerschaum, christen it Bruce (after the 'guy' on the tin) and use it exclusively for this blend. The tin aroma was strong, but pleasant; none of that overpowering sweetness like I found with MacBaren's London Burley Blend. It was wow. I opened the tin and was greeted by an excellent aroma (I really like black licorice) and a gorgeous appearing flake. It has some notes of chocolate and cocoa in there, black pepper and, incongruously, Darjeeling tea and liquorice. It is only available in a 100 gram tin where I shop so you may want to borrow a pinch or see if your tobacconist will let you try a bowl first. I like to rub these flakes out as they come a little moist and need a little drying time. Pipe smoking is not something you do because everyone else is doing it. I picked up a tin of DSK for Christmas and tested several bowls. certainly not what I like from a burley. Also a mild (and fairly pleasant) smoke, but it does smell very nice. I have to admit that If I had to choose Id have to keep on keeping on with this over the Golden Slice Orlik! 4/4. If you puff too hard, you can induce some tongue-bite. Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky and its "copies" Bremen Pipe Smoker 10.4K subscribers Subscribe 14K views 6 years ago .just a (rather long..) review of Orlik's Dark Strong Kentucky, Peter. The very last of the bowl gave me an incredible burst of flavor (rubbed out) that I cannot categorize, but that sort of mind-blowing taste is one of the things I smoke pipes for . $67.81.

I set my slices out for about 15 minutes and then just fold and stuff. People who are fans of rich, robust blends containing dark-fired Kentucky are very familiar with Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. I really enjoy the molasses and licorice flavors. The Cavendish is not obtrusive; rather, I pick it up more as a smoothing, body-boosting component. 'is harmfull to health'. Great for those times when you need a change in your mood and rotation. They fold and stuff well, and rubbed them out before jarring them. My tins contained nicely prepared flakes ~ 1.5" x 1" that fit my packing style of no rub out with most of my bowl sizes. Opening the 100g tin was wonderful, the aroma was lightly sweet but quite full as well. The smoking experience is slightly different as well. Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky vs Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong F Dark Strong Kentucky 1.75oz Tin. Being a huge, huge fan of licorice, I can easily say I agree with fellow reviewers. Rating: 4.9 stars, based on 39 reviews. The Kentucky was dark and stewy, the sweetness of the Virginias accentuated by the barbecue molasses taste of the Dark fired Kentucky, held together by a light top note of licorice. The last two thirds of a bowl are the better part of the smoke.
