Silk Leaf is also one of my favorites from 2014. It's really good unblended, because it tastes like it already has Turkish in it and has a bit of a throat hit like Burley. Well-balanced.
The throat hit isn't harsh, but it has a bit of a throat hit, just like the Red. Nicotine I would say is moderate to high, high meaning high for flue cured.Sounds like a winner. Is the throat hit harsh? How is the nic?
It would be good in a pipe. I may try that tonight, but I need to clean all my pipes first.I'll have to give it another shot. I think the dashboard curing I did with it may have cooked the leaf -- and it is absolutely acrid to smoke. I think most of the folks here that have grown it have been happy with it. With what you're describing I think it would be awesome in a pipe!
