I haven't smoked a lot of Daughter and Ryan. I just haven't. The ones I have remind me of the more premium rolling tobaccos that I bought when in the mood to be a bit fancy. Which is to say it's really weird I haven't bought a ton of daughter and Ryan blends.
My understanding of the process which could be horribly flawed is that there are several types of Cavendish but that all of them are essentially a process that sorta of cooks the tobacco to the point of carmelizing the sugars in the tobacco and that there are two broad categories sweetened and unsweetened. The unsweetened doesn't add any sugars in any type (which could be rum, simple syrup, maple syrup, or somethings I haven't thought of) where as the sweetened does. That could be a mix of fact and misunderstanding though. I do know they're different. And unsweetened really works like described and is a really different beast then the sweetened kind. Sorta of like black coffee and a frappe something or other both are coffee but totally different things at the same time.
love the avatar and yeah it's a favorite. Perfectly suited for times you just want a good smoke. Another blend like that for me is certainly Yorktown. But I am keeping this one around.
Coincidentally, I had a bowl of Three Sails this morning. It is one of my favorites. After breakfast I smoked a bowl of Three Sails/Five Brothers 75/25 for some added N. I enjoy the Wind Sail blends also, along with Ryback. I sometimes mix in Two Timer burley with the Virginias. They offer other blends that have Orientals which aren’t my thing and haven’t tried. For the price of two tins you can buy a pound of good tobacco.
I also was turned off slightly because of the unsweetened cavendish. I want to try it again. Where’s my credit card?
I am a daily smoker of Daughters and Ryan. Some good stuff in a pipe.
It's funny when I smoke peoples must try blends I often think it's a good thing that taste is subjective, but every once in a blue whale (or was it moon) I'll smoke one of those blends and declare the hype is indeed well earned. Pegasus is certainly one of those blends. That description is probably spot on, never even heard of Bond Street before joining this forum. But yeah it's a blend that would be easy and non offensive to smoke all day, while also being pleasant and not boring. For me that's the peak version of pipe tobacco, interesting but not so intense that you need a break from it.
I smoke Two Timer every day. It’s a must for a burley fan.I'll toss in another recommendation for Daughters & Ryan Two Timer if you're a fan of Pegasus! It's a bit milder than Pegasus and burns quickly since it's completely uncased, so pack it a bit tighter than you normally would, but it has a lovely mellow nutty woody flavor and is about as smooth and non-abrasive as natural unadulterated Burley gets. Think of it like Pegasus Lite.
I avoided this blend for years due to the same reasoning. Thank the stars some folks on this forum with similar tastes to mine praised the stuff enough to get me curious after all this time. I picked up a couple ounce zip and the rest is history. Already smoked a couple pounds of the stuff in short time. At first i was grabbing it 8oz at a time, but a mason jar isn't enough. All day, any time of day, always good.
YES! A sip of coffee (cream, no sugar) after a puff gave me the intense and unmistakable flavor of my Grandmother’s Italian Anisette cookies. It is my primary tobacco for morning smokes.
Ditto. I keep searching, and keep coming back! So glad I have several pounds of the stuff. I will replenish 8 ounces or so when there is another sale.
