Dark Fired Tobacco

[BloodWood]

Dark Fired Tobacco:

Farmers in western Kentucky's black patch region produce fired cured dark tobacco.
Heat from burning hardwood slabs and sawdust inside tight metal barns creates finished products used in snuff and chewing tobacco.

Very interesting. So would latakia follow the same process but use a different type of leaf being from a different region? Or is there something in the process that is drastically different between dark fired tobacco and latakia? My understanding is dark fired is less smokey than latakia but I'm not sure if that's process or genetically derived.

Aged dark fire makes for some phenomenal pipe tobacco.
