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.

Erik Stokkebye - Small Batch Peaty Kentucky (4th Generation).
I know a few people weren't amused by the price, 24 USD for 50g. But in the UK some blends are 18.99 GBP plus postage so it isn't too unusual a price to us Brits!
The coins are fairly uniform, but not too perfect. Think of a slightly tidier version of a Mac B Roll Cake. The pieces are medium brown flecked with lighter birds eye's. The moisture's good; perfect to smoke right away.
In the smoke I get an earthy, woody, lead from the Kentucky. It offers a lot more of the herbaceous qualities than it does staunch smokiness. The Virginia feels a good distance behind. I get a fresh, hay-like nuance, but I don't get citrus, fruit, or 'zest'. To me the Va is more of a platform for the Kentucky. Mechanically it's faultless; steady burning, mid-temperature, creating a 'dry' smoke.
Nicotine: healthy. Room-note: not great!
Peaty Kentucky? Remarkable. Highly recommended:
Four stars.
