Friends, I have to tell you something.
Last week I received somt tins of Viking Dark and was a bit disappointed about the much lighter scent than that I knew. I missed the smokey edge of it. Today I received a tin of SG Silky Dark from snuffstore.de and hooray: It is exactly the tobacco I formerly knew as Viking Dark.
This and the new Wilsons-like tins of Viking Dark lead me to the suspection that Viking Dark nowadays is made by another company than before and also is another tobacco-recipe, whereas Silky Dark by Sam Gawith is the old Viking Dark. In former times they were identical, now the Viking Dark has changed and the Silky remains as the original one.
Could that be?
