I blended Daughters and Ryan Two Timer with some Dark Fired Kentucky (80/20) to give Two Timer a little more strength and flavor. It's pretty good. Anyone else blend with Two Timer? What have you tried?

I’ve used it from time to time but nothing concrete. You have given me an idea to mix Two Timer Gold with some perique.
I have thought about mixing it with something, but then I sniff the jar and just load it straight into my pipe. One of my favorite burleys. Love it.
I use it to help dry out, and tone down aromatics. I'm not into aros much anymore but want to use up what I have, so mixing with Two Timer really improves the smoke for me. I also mix it with D&R Windsail (Virginia). Usually mix it 50/50, but I play around with ratios. I also like it straight.
That's a good suggestion. I'm somewhat disappointed with Autumn Evening smoking characteristics. Maybe mixing it with DRTT will help even it out.
I mix it with perique, I've done all kinds of ratios and it always turns out good.
Usually I like it as a 50/50 mix, but I'm a hound for perique.
To me it's pretty good on it's on, too.
Edit: I have not had the Gold verison, only the regular.

I have mixed it with Sutliff Aromatic English 504C, which is a little too goopy, in a 3:2 ratio (AroEng:DRTT) and then pressed in the noodle press. It came out pretty good, the DRTT dries out the blend and adds a little more nic, which is welcome.
I also experimented with misting a few ounces of DRTT with some reverse osmosis water, then tossed the slightly rehydrated tobacco into a colander and put it in my pellet smoker loaded with oak pellets, aiming for an American-style Latakia. I smoked it for 3 hours, misting and tossing the tobacco twice during the smoke.
I would say that it picked up a hint of smoke but could use more, so perhaps I’ll try again and go for an all-day smoking session. The DRTT is cheap enough to play with, and even if it doesn’t work to create a Latakia, I can smoke the stuff anyway with no great loss.

I guess that's central to why I am even bothering.
I smoke DRTT by itself, usually. Only now I'm indulging in a little "hobbyist" behavior.
