Kentucky Fire Cured Anybody tried these?

[beyond the band]

I have had a few now and damnit I like them! Crazy spice and a strange aroma. 
I think I will be doing a review'

I have one cooking in the humidor. Maybe I'll pull it out and try it. I've heard they aren't for the weak.

I would not keep these with regular cigars. Latakia can definitely transfer to other tobaccos. I'm not sure if I'll spend money to try one. I smoke pipes too, and rarely smoke Latakia anymore. If I want that flavor, I'll load a bowl. Not a gimmick, in my estimation, but certainly not something I want or look for in a cigar.

Very mellow fire cured taste. The aroma is delicious. I quite like them, but it's definitely something I have to be in the mood for...

I have had one of the 4x46 and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I have about 10 left if anyone wants a cover let me know. I will hook you up for what I paid for em and ship em for free. I think they were 7.20 each but would have to double check.

How does it compare to the Leccia Blacks and George Rico STK?

 

[nicktressler]

I have only had the Leccia and I think the KFC is better.

I was just gifted one. Smells like some hickory jerky or something.  So weird.  Should I chew on the cigar?

I had a Kentucky Gentleman this weekend.  I really thought is was pretty good.

OK...two guys who's opinions I totally respect are telling me it's hickory flavored beef jerky rolled in a Fritos tortilla!
 
Can't wait to try this one 
 
What's next?...'crack in a bowl' flavored cigars?  :laugh:

Isy, time to start a boutique cigar company and get working on this blend!  :laugh:
 
 
In respect to BTB's OP, I am definitely going to try one of these eventually.  I enjoy the smokey flavor of latakia and just smoked things in general, so I'm curious to give it a shot.

You'll find hints of granola smoothie !

This thread reads like a dish that someone made at home and posted in the Food section!  :laugh:
 
 
Now I definitely have to try one, just need to find a B&M that carries them so I can buy a single....not sure a 5er is in order.

I'm not convinced that these won't transfer that smokiness to other cigars.

Yeah.  I agree there may be something to this.  I know from having a lot of latakia heavy pipe tobacco blends that even sealed in the mason jars I can smell the smokiness when I open my cabinet.

I here ya guys, that's why I just want one to smoke. I tried 3 B&Ms today while out on the road today and no one had the KFC. I did however grab one of the DE Nirvana Corona Gordas while at one shop. That should be interesting....$12.41 with taxes  :laugh:
