Here’s a description of Doctor Pipe — Old Dark Fired (50 g):
📦 Name, Blend & Producer
Product: Doctor Pipe Old Dark Fired — a robust, naturally flavored pipe tobacco from Brazil[deltabaco.com]
Leaf composition:Dark‑Fired Kentucky + Virginias (bright & brown, long‑cured) with a pinch of Latakia and a gentle portion of Black Cavendish for balance. [tobaccoreviews.com], [tabacosdalberto.com]
About the cut: Most retailer and review listings show Old Dark Fired in ribbon cut, not flake. If you specifically want a flake, Doctor Pipe’s Pure Dark Fired Flake is the brand’s DFK flake presentation.[tobaccoreviews.com]
Moisture on opening: Typically low / ready to pack; jar promptly to prevent dry‑out. [tobaccoreviews.com]
🌿 Flavor & Aroma (what to expect)
Dual smokiness: The blend highlights DFK’s barbecue‑like smokiness alongside Latakia’s wood‑fire smokiness, giving two distinct smoky dimensions in one bowl. [tobaccoreviews.com], [tabacosdalberto.com]
Supporting notes:Virginia adds gentle sweetness and structure; Black Cavendish smooths edges without adding casing or top flavor. [tobaccoreviews.com], [cigarworld.de]
Overall impression:Medium‑to‑strong body, full taste, naturally smoky, earthy and nutty — suited to daily smokes if you like stout, non‑aromatic profiles. [tobaccoreviews.com], [deltabaco.com]
🔥 Smoking Experience
Strength:Medium to strong; nicotine satisfies without being overwhelming for experienced smokers. [tobaccoreviews.com]
Burn & prep:Lights easily and smokes well from the tin/pouch; some reviewers recommend transferring to a mason jar soon after opening. [tobaccoreviews.com]
Room note:Tolerable to strong — distinctly smoky, more “barbecue/wood‑fire” than sweet aromatic. [tobaccoreviews.com]
