=== Dark Fired Kentucky ===
Dark Fired Kentucky is featured in several blends, such as Mc Baren's HH Old Dark Fired and Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong. It is also used as a component for many other blends serving a variety of purposes. It is a dark tobacco, similar to Burley that is cured in barns over an open fire. This gives it a smokiness, but one that is earthier, less woodsy, and more subtle than Latakia. It has a relatively high nicotine content and burns well with good body.
