I also bought a 100g tin of HU Dark Moor, a 100g tin of The Untouchables and a 50g tin of Svendborg Kirsberry. I did crack open the Kirsberry just to see what the tin note was. My first thought was, "I've smelled this before." It reminds me of one of the good cherry bulk blends, maybe something Tinderbox used to sell. The cherry note wasn't overpowering in the tin and didn't smell medicinal either. I will be smoking a bowl of this later
@RockyMountainBriar HU Dark Moor has been on my list for several years but I always left it off my purchase when I was ordering from Germany. I'm trying to hold off on opening it until my pipe club meeting next week. I'm interested to see what they mean by "peaty Kentucky" in the description. I was just having a discussion with another pipe smoker about Latakia and was wondering if anyone had ever tried smoke curing tobacco using peat from Scotland.
@PappyJoe I’m not sure how it’s cured, but I have a couple of jars of the Arango Cigars L.E. “Peaty Kentucky”. It is one of my favorites, but since I don’t have much of it, I ration it🙂.
<< "Peaty Kentucky" is a **real pipe tobacco blend** from Erik Stokkebye's **4th Generation** series. It's **rope-cut**, made of **Virginia leaves** wrapped around **dark-fired Kentucky**, and **aged for weeks** before being sliced into **coins**.
Expect **bold smokiness, peppery spice, woodsy depth**, and **citrus-hay sweetness**. **Medium-to-strong** strength, **pleasant-to-tolerable** room note. Ideal for fans of **peaty whiskies**.>>

With Barbados Plantation going away, I’m definitely interested.
BTW, I recommend Blood Red Moon.
I bought a tin in April. Then let my two sons try it. One of them forgot to give me the tin back and took it home with him.
That HU Dark Moor is on my list. I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts on it.

Yep, good stuff🙂👍🏻
It's rare when you find a mellow and good tasting Cherry blend. I too enjoy Blood Red Moon.
It's worth a try IMHO...
My next blog post is about HU Dark Moor.
I like it.
