[QUOTE="JimInks, post: 419893, member: 2673"] There was an over lap. I know this because I remember buying both at the same time as late as 2003, which I recall is the year Orlik stopped selling Dark Strong to the US, though it was still made and sold in Europe. I bought my first tin of PH Dark Strong in 2002. Still have an unopened tin of PHDS from that year as well as an unopened tin of Orlik DSK from the same year. @DrumsAndBeer: the tobaccos used are very similar, if not the same. The toppings are different. The older Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky had a little more red Virginia than it does now. They use a little more bright Va. currently to make up for the lessening of the red Va. I remember the 2002-2004 PHDS having just a little less red than the Orlik in that time period. I have smoked the current version of PHDS, and it looks and mostly tastes the same as the earlier production, although here again, I think a little more bright Va. is used. I have not tried the current Orlik yet, but it looks the same as the PH from a picture I saw. [/QUOTE]
