Per Jensen Dark Fired Kentucky

Dark Fired Kentucky is a powerful, full-flavored leaf that plays a central role in many traditional pipe tobacco blends. In this release, Per Georg Jensen showcases the leaf in its pure form, produced as a one-time run by Sutliff.

Fire-cured over hardwood smoke, this Kentucky tobacco delivers deep, smoky character with earthy, savory notes and a pronounced strength. Like Burley, Kentucky is naturally low in sugar and high in nicotine, making it an effective component for adding body and backbone to a mixture. The fire-curing process adds an unmistakable smoky aroma often likened to wood smoke or barbecue.

Bold and assertive on its own, Dark Fired Kentucky is especially well suited for custom blending, where it can enhance strength, depth, and smokiness in Virginia, Burley, or English-style mixtures. Experienced smokers may also enjoy it straight for a robust, uncompromising smoke.

Produced in limited quantities and not intended for ongoing manufacture, this release offers a rare opportunity to work with or experience high-quality Dark Fired Kentucky blended under Jensen’s direction.
