Aged cakes of red Virginia and fire-cured dark Kentucky tobaccos give this full-bodied, flavorful flake an unusually rich and naturally spicy taste. Not for neophytes, this one satisfies with old-fashioned deep taste. Good outdoors.

Note this review is based on tobacco as is now, not influenced by how it was in previous iterations.
Tin note of sweet plummy dark fruit, spices and hay. Tobacco is a flake of light tobacco on top of dark tobacco on bottom, the light tobacco is tan and yellowish brown, and the dark tobacco is red
dish brown and dark brown. Moisture content is great. No drying needed. Tobacco flakes need a little effort when rubbing out. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Sweet plum/dark fruit topping detected; flavoring died relatively fast. Taste is medium and somewhat consistent, with notes of tart and tangy dark fruit, spices, dryness, floral peaty vegetation, mild nuts, bitter citrus peel/zest, very earthy, a mildly spicy, sweet fermented grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Cavendish treated Dark Fired Kentucky (guessing) is leading with Virginia supporting and Flavoring supporting very little. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

What can I say. Half way down the bowl you realize this is something special and very satisfying.
Lots of options

They should really show you a photo of the flakes. There is a stripe of Virginia down the middle and then dark Kentucky on either side. They are lots of fun to either take apart and pack the Kentucky first or second. Or you can cross cut it or cube cut it and let it all mingle together or break it up with your fingers. There are lots of different options and I thoroughly enjoyed trying several different ways. A lot of people talk about the punch of nicotine and I didn’t find it all that strong myself but I have a very high tolerance. Deeply rich and flavorful and very high on my list....Read More
Unfortunately, there will probably no longer be a worthy replacement for the departed Orlik Dark Strong of Kentucky

Unfortunately, there will probably no longer be a worthy replacement for the departed Orlik Dark Strong of Kentucky. But Peter Heinrichs - Dark Strong Flake can be called a replacement, I would like more, but this is what is on the market. And so: Orlik Dark Kentucky was a slightly sweeter and easier on the tongue when I compared the two blends some years back. PH DSF seems just slightly harsher, and has a little more molasses than the licorice in the Orlik version. The red Virginia was a little more prominent in ODSK with more dark fruit flavor. Burns cool, clean and a little slow with a very consistent sweet taste. Has a pleasantly lingering after taste....Read More
I love it

tangy and dried dark fruit. It's a bit subdued by the dark fired Kentucky. A nice deep taste that was not too powerful
Pretty good

It’s a flavorful cool smoke. Try it out. If you don’t like it throw it in a mason jar for 3 to 6 months. It gets better and better.
All day blend

Excellent taste. After 25 years I’ve tried a lot of flakes and this became a favorite immediately. Not for the meek but very enjoyable and reliable smoke every time
Very tasty

The sweetness of the Virgina and spiceyness of the dark Kentucky make this an excellent tasty blend. And the flakes are Beautiful. A satisfying blend.
