Kentucky has a dominance to it, and it can come off as somewhat acrid to me if there isn't a good amount of Virginia to offset that with sweetness. PS Amsterdam and Newminster Superior Round Slices are two that hit the button.
Weirdly enough, I love all those Italian Kentucky dry cured cigars(Parodi, Avanti, etc).. who knows why that is.
Imagine what Parodi could do with pipe tobacco........

I don't think I've ever smoked any ODF. A name like that would stick in my mind though the tin art never would. "Which was the ODF? The brown one?"

Actually, it's not that great a name. I've probably forgotten if I have tried it. I don't smoke a lot of flakes, though, so I probably would remember it for that reason, at least.

If someone calls your mother an old dark flake in my neighborhood, those are fighting words. Somebody is either going to detention or jail. Old Dark Fired? Big whoop. What does that mean? Parodi would have called it something else, with five or six names, probably, and in five or six differently designed tins so that you'd think you were buying something different every time.

My favorites are Kentucky Cheroots. I don't buy any other Parodi cigar anymore.

yeah I'm DGT'ing JKP now after dinner, and while I like it, I don't really love it either. I think I'm more prone to like Burley with condimental amounts of Kentucky
I hope our names are touching on the watch list

I'll smoke a bowl of 1792 tonight as long as I'm making the Kentucky rounds

Many/most would disagree with you

It is as popular as a blend can get
Not my cup of tea either

ODF is good but I just never get excited about it when I smoke a bowl. More for you guys.
Try a Parodi. They're good.

I was going to ask if anyone here is a fan. I should have known the answer.

It is pricey, but I do like it enough that it could be my all-day smoke, and I would not feel deprived.
