Von Eicken Käpt´n Barsdorfs Dark Fired Pipe Blend

The Dark Fired version of the Käpt'n Barsdorf's Bester line sits on Von Eicken's unflavored side. The composition rests on a measured pairing of dark-fired Kentucky with Virginia leaf. Unlike the series' flavored members, the taste here comes directly from the leaf itself. Dark-fired Kentucky lends the smoke soot, peppery spice and a thick body; the Virginia sets a bready sweetness beneath that weight to balance the blend. Nicotine is notably higher than the rest of the series.
