I haven’t smoked triple play but I’m going to say Doblone D’oro ?
Doblone d’Oro. Epic and unique blend. Perfect amount of DFK to compliment it. Great stuff.
Like... you just asked us to compare a C&D product to something.
without smoking the C&D product I can tell you the answer.

Shut up you idiot. Everyone knows you hate CD blindly on principle. Your opine on CD/GLP blends is worth about as much as a Prussian Franc is at the Kwik Stop.
Call me a liar and I’ll challenge you to a duel. Your choice of weapon: Ping Pong Paddles, Live Crawfish, or 3 foot long Gogurt tubes.
I don't think they're very similar at all. I prefer Triple Play. I find the perique in TP a light condiment with the RedVa and DFK dominant. I find Doblone d’Oro more your standard VaPer where the perique is mostly pepper spice, I hardly notice any DFK. It's good but not as rich, full and sweet as TP to my palate.
I’ll admit that I am biased in this regard, as my palate is highly sensitive to DFK. I find it wonderful in condimental amounts, but beyond that, unless it’s african, I find it overly harsh and acrid.
@alaskanpiper keep it fair. Ping pong paddles, while the least entertaining are at least cruelty free
You neglect the sweat shops in which they are produced, sir!
I meant animal cruelty free. I don’t think @BROBS and his adidas get up have a problem with sweat shops
Good point! Who cares about enslaved humans when there are cows out there getting their tits squeezed!!!!
There's no right or wrong, personal preference. They're both superb blends.
I’ve got huge respect for @hoosierpipeguy ’s palate (mainly because we agree 95% of the time) but I disagree here. I look at Savinelli Doblone D’Oro as an absolute classic that will be an instant unicorn if/when it goes away. I’ve been building my stock of it since I first tried it almost 5 years ago. For me it’s a medium plus strength VaPer with a DFK presence that goes right up to the line of too much- but doesn’t cross it. Triple Play‘s VAs lack any natural sweetness, I suspect are augmented by generic (and rough) burleys, the perique is weak (the leaf itself, not the quantity of it), and the DFK is overkill. If/when Triple Play goes away, I think it will be forgotten.
And to think, I used to like you. LOL i think it is the prominent Red Va note that wins the day for TP with me. Perhaps I need to pop a tin of Doblone d’Oro to refresh my memory.
Ha! Fair enough, I should probably do the same with TP. And if we both stick to our guns we can just swap tins and everyone’s happy.
I prefer Triple Play as well. I really liked my tin of D d' O when n I first got it, but I don't know if my palate changed or what, but I have since found it to be pretty ho hum.
Triple Play is fuller in body and strength, though D d' O isn't a slouch in those departments. I think Triple Play has more perique. Your opinion on Triple Play will largely depend on what you think of C&D's VAs and their general approach to blending. Since I appreciate both if those things, I am a fan.

I don't know if my jar that I was storing Doblone in had a bad seal or if the tobacco dried out too much... it didn't feel too dry, but I am struggling to figure out why I loved it so much initially, only to lose my affection for it. Kind of strange, because it has all the elements if something I would normally like a lot.
Ted, I'll be the first to admit I'm no Jim Inks.
I’m in the Triple Play camp... I happen to really like Jack Knife too...
As far as VaPer blends go, there are dozens of them all with a little twist here and there.
My favorite VaPer is one that I blend myself. I let it marry for about 6 months after I blend it.
While Doblone D’Oro isn’t bad, I wouldn’t choose it over Triple Play. But that’s just me.
