Amphora Kentucky Blend

Its good stuff but a a beginner piper , I find it strong. Either I will grow into it or use it as a condimental additive.

This was a pleasant surprise for me. While I enjoy the tastes and burning qualities of dark-fired tobacco I find it too full to smoke as often as the Virginia flakes I enjoy throughout the day. Amphora's interpretation of dark-fired is different. It may be the process or the tobacco itself, but this blend is flavorful without the heaviness and fullness of others I've smoked. Amphora lists no flavoring additives and to my nose and palate, none are present. The small amount of bright Virginia is not detectable to my taste but clearly serves a purpose. It makes a great all day smoke. So far, I have re-ordered a couple of times. It's worth a try.

I very much enjoyed the cut, moisture and overall character of this tobacco. However, there is a very obvious raw sugar taste that I was not able to shake. I high quality tobacco, just not me taste. Try it yourself.
