Old Kentucky Flake

Old Kentucky Flake was a pressed Peter Heinrichs blend built on fire-cured Kentucky leaf. Per the maker's description, Kentucky leaves from the US and African regions are balanced with light-colored Virginia to soften the taste a little; this preserves the smoky, lightly earthy character while leaving a fine sweetness in the background.

Nicotine strength and fullness are on the high side; the maker describes it for experienced pipe smokers. Records indicate the blend was discontinued and not continued shortly after release due to a rust problem that developed in the tins; today it exists only as a record found in old stock.
