Torben Dansk Kentucky U.S.A.

Torben Dansk Kentucky U.S.A. is a single-varietal blending component consisting of fire-cured American Kentucky leaf. Sources describe it as carrying a full, smoky aroma that is astringent throughout, with an herbal character. The fire-curing method gives the leaf its smoky taste and high nicotine load. Smoked alone it is strong and sharp; it is mostly used in small proportions to add body, smoke and spice to Virginia- or Burley-forward blends.
