I had my eye on this for a while and finally got around to ordering a tin a few weeks ago. A bowl and a quarter into it has been enough for me. Have you heard of the TurDuckHen? The chicken stuffed duck stuffed turkey? I'd call this blend SwishCamBoro, kind of like a Marlboro light stuffed Camel straight stuffed Swisher sweet. Even though I don't have a problem with Marbs, Camels or Swishers, they just don't play well together for me. It does have a decent dose of Vitamn N, but it comes on a bit more aggressively than I'd like. Kind of like being kicked in the gut when not expecting it as opposed to being taken to the mat in a sleeper. Gonna gift the remaining to a friend tomorrow. Just my two cents.
PS- I'd like to hear what others who have tried this blend think. I know there are some who really like it.

I still haven't opened my tin of C&D Riverboat Gambler. It hasn't scored especially well on consumer grading, but maybe it will mellow by the time I get to it. Maybe it can be doctored with condiment tobaccos. I suspect they have discontinued the blend, but I could be wrong.
I bought a tin on a recommendation from Peck. If you like strong burley blends then this may float your boat. I found it worked very well n a cob. The perique is barely noticeable, which is fine by me.
Bought a tin a year or so into smoking a pipe and I hadn't had many blends other than my local b&m's aromatics and I absolutely hated it. Now I hate those aromatics and have been thinking about trying the river boat gambler again, if I can find it
i learned that the hard way. That's what I do now, and have found it really does help. Old companion, for example, was some the most vile stuff I ever put in a pipe, but after 2 years in the jar, it's regularly in my rotation. Maybe it mellowed, maybe my tastes changed but something happened.
