Orlik: Dark Strong Kentucky 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-046-0010

This Orlik blend takes a mix of select Virginias and combines it with, as the name implies, dark-fired Kentucky, to create a flake that provides a fine contrast between the bright and dark flavors of these tobaccos.

Don't judge a book...

Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
Don't judge a book by its cover! With a name like "Dark Strong Kentucky" you might assume it is a very strong taste and might not be for you. But the opposite is true with this one! The name is very misleading. This tobacco is very sweet an... Read More
Good, But Something Artificial About It
April 11, 2018
Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
This was an enjoyable smoke, but like many brands, I detected something artificial in the flavor. I mostly smoke C&D, so I am quite sensitive when there are ingredients other than all natural tobacco. This has that mildly "something is just ... Read More
Candied Tobacco

Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
Very sweet (maple sugar added). It's a predominantly VA in base, but the sugar sublimates the flavor nuance. The Dark Fired is negligible and offers limited depth. The nicotine is very light. There's virtually no tobacco taste in this... almost a... Read More

Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
Beautiful flake presentation with a stripe of golden Virginia down the middle. Lovely aroma and flavor of stewed fruit. I only wish it had a bit more spice to it. Otherwise, easy to prepare and, if dried accordingly, smokes well. If not dried it ten... Read More
the best pipe tobaccos

For me one of the best pipe tobaccos. Only one minus in it - it ends quickly.
Too bad its gone...

Sad to see you guys are discontinuing this one. Its pretty good. Its grown on me too. I like this for a change of pace from my usual English and Balkans. To be honest I wasn't blown away by it when I first tried it. So most of the tobacco lived in a ... Read More

Very good little Flakes, Smell from the tin sweet,Smokey slightly licorice-E.. But I really enjoy the tin note. The Taste does not disappoint.. This is not Irish Flake or ODF. This has some of the same flavors but not as strong by any means... This ... Read More

Mention “Orlik” among smokers and the subject will turn to two standards in the industry; Orlik Golden Sliced and this one, Dark Strong Kentucky. Dark Strong Kentucky is a delicious blend. To understand the greatness of this once unavailable flake, i... Read More
Didn't meet my expectations
June 12, 2018
Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
As mentioned in other reviews there seems to be some pg added (a little too heavily for my taste), and it takes forever to dry to my desired moisture level. For me the flavor, while good, was underwhelming and I always found myself wishing for a lit... Read More
Great smoke

Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
Dark fired tobacco is great, and it combined with the licorice/plum topping makes for a great, heavy, dessert type smoke.

Smooth, rich - an all day smoke
August 12, 2017
Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
Used my William Demuth long-stem system pipe for this. Didn't bother to rub it out, but just folded it in. Stays lit, no problem. Very smooth, no bite at all. Purchased this during the recent sale and am now upset that I didn't get more.

this has a silkly smooth subtle brown sugar/chocolate taste that is a subtle compliment to the burley and virginias. this is a very very nice smoke

This is a really fine tobacco with the sweetness of molasses, the malt, tamed by the nutty flavor of the dark Kentucky making it smooth, medium strong, and a very mellow smoke!

This pipe tobacco is enjoyable from the first to last puff. This is a mellow and pleasant blend of select Virginias with some dark fired Kentucky. It is not overpowering even though it provides a smokey and complex taste and room note. Do not let a b... Read More

Smells wonderful; molasses, brown sugar, hay, and a little prune on the nose. Good balance between dark and light flavors. Leather, mild spiciness, hay, and dark fruit on the palate. Raisiny-sweetness on the finish when smoked slowly. Burns well when... Read More

This is not a strong flake. It's a good smoke, smooth and a good amount of billowing smoke. I think it would've been strong had they backed off with the sweetness. The sweet is dominant I find. Good flavours just too sweet to carry the name "Dar... Read More

I've been smoking this for a few months now and it's become a favourite. It's not that Dark or Strong, but that's okay. DSK smokes great and has a sweetness that tames the Kentucky better than the other attempts I've tried. Folded or rubbed, it's gre... Read More
Aromatic
August 16, 2015
Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
I was expecting more of what the name intimated. It's just too much like an aromatic. Very sweet, but not in a natural way. I was hoping to get some earthiness or smokiness, but this flake doesn't offer that. I'd say if you like aromatics and want to... Read More

Product: Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky 50g
The name is somewhat inappropriate. Though there is some dark fired in this blend, it's accounts for a 1/3 maybe? It's not "strong". The dark fired is there, and it makes itself known, but doesn't dominate at all. The VA's in it are quite... Read More
