Erik Stokkebye Small Batch Peaty Kentucky
(2.67)
A limited offering from 4th Generation, Erik Stokkebye's Small Batch Peaty Kentucky is a rope-cut blend composed of 100% mature, whole Virginia leaves and dark-fired Kentucky. This hand-rolled mixture uses the whole Virginia leaves as the wrapper and the dark-fired Kentucky as filler. The ropes are aged for several weeks before being sliced into perfect coins. It's a satisfying blend that provides a pleasant balance of strength and smokiness, and comes neatly presented in a collectible, special-edition, humidor-style box.

To me, this was a bit of a disappointment.
The presentation is wonderful: wonderful coins in a little wooden box, with a strong tobacco smell and a good moisture level.
At the start of the smoke, the Virginias add some grassy taste, and even a bit of a sweet citrussy note. Unfortunately, this quickly disappears.
After that, I found it to be a bit too one-dimensional for my liking. A woody, earthy, peaty flavor with quite a bit of nic strength. I had hoped for a more complex flavor profile.
Some people might really like this one. If you're looking for pure tobacco flavor and satisfying your nicotine craving, this might be right for you. Myself, I think I will try adding an occasional coin to some other blends to give them a bit more oomph.

I ordered this the day it came out. Fresh out of the box it is very dry. Coins have a nice presentation. You can pack it tight accordingly but it is still a fairly quick smoke. . Taste is of a pure, natural one. No toppings, a bit earthy. Uneventful retrohale. No bite. A decent smoke but not very interesting.
I will put my wishes of what this could have been into the pretty presentation box it arrived in...right before I pitch it.
