Keep an eye on the Pirate Kake. After many months in storage mine oozed a significant amount of tenaciously sticky dark oil that -stuck hard- on the walls of the bottle and to the glass dropper. A Latakia bomb complemented by Burley, Cavendish and Turkish tobaccos 
the flavor is intense but the bottle and dropper are an oily mess. 
If you like the robust dark flavor of C&D "Pirate Kake" I'd recommend trying C&D "Mississipi Mud", a Latakia, Cavandish, Perique blend

Those You've listed are outstanding tobaccos for extraction, -if- they suit your taste you'll be a happy camper.
I've learned (the hard way of course) not to be over confident about -any- tobaccos continued availability. If/when I find a tobacco that extracts well and produces an outstanding flavor (per my taste) I now stock up. Dunhill was good enough to give us a years notice, most just suddenly disappear from the shelves without warning. On this side of the pond we currently enjoy a -vast- selection of different tobaccos from around the world to choose from. As tobacco's popularity continues to decline and regulation/taxes continue to increase I believe both selection and availability will suffer. We are living in the golden age of NET making, there will -never- be a better time than the present for what we do.
Sorry, but I haven't. I don't personally care for the flavor of dark fired Kentucky so I avoid blends that contain it as the primary tobacco. Hopefully someone else will post a review.

Looks like @jonnydoe and @67Tele have purchased it... maybe they have gotten around to sticking it into a jar by now?

Awesome! Thanks for the find! Maybe @67Tele can tell me if it's good.. I have it in the shopping cart, but before I spent I figured to ask! If it's no good I can just remove it before I finish up!

Haven't gotten around to even putting in the Mason jar yet. Got a tin in my "cellar".
Nightcap keeps getting better with age......I do not.

Unfortunately for me they won't ship to the UK. Having said that, I'm reluctant about ordering from overseas anyway after getting hit with a £50 customs charge for 6oz of tobacco from Smoking Pipes!!

Ouch! That would hurt. If it were me I'd stick to what was domestically available.

Money grab
I 'liked' Your post.....not meaning that I liked Your custom's charge!!!Unfortunately for me they won't ship to the UK. Having said that, I'm reluctant about ordering from overseas anyway after getting hit with a £50 customs charge for 6oz of tobacco from Smoking Pipes!!
Seriously tho', thanks for posting:- I've lusted over P&C's range & PRICES but won't risk importing 'cos of the risk of these charges....
We can't even buy wholeleaf now......
Have You bought from www.smoke-king.co.uk ? They've still got a few 5g. pipe 'baccy samples available (makes approx. 50-60ml. of NET cold-steeping in PG).

what a shame!
It was quite a kick in the teeth but my previous 6oz order arrived without any problem so I tried to feel a bit better about things by looking upon it as a £25 charge for each order... still pretty harsh though!!I 'liked' Your post.....not meaning that I liked Your custom's charge!!!

I was alerted to Smoke King by Roger from the DIY Tobacco E Juice fb group but opted to go with the following in 25g quantities:
Gawith Hoggarth No.25 Mixture Pipe Tobacco
Mac Baren Scottish Mixture Pipe Tobacco
Samuel Gawith Bright Virginia Pipe Tobacco
Samuel Gawith Brown Virginia Pipe Tobacco
Samuel Gawith Sweet Black Cavendish Pipe Tobacco
Samuel Gawith Turkish Pipe Tobacco
I'm going to split them in half so I can go with both cold and heat macerations for each one.
TheBackyShop is still my go to online store in the UK as they have a pretty impressive selection... nothing like the range that Pipes and Cigars offer but certainly enough to keep me going for some time I would think
one of the extractions I tried with Molto Dolce was Maple street, for a change of pace.
I don't know if anyone else tried Maple street, but I am not getting much flavor.
Molto Dolce is a good change of pace however.
