D&R Vengeur Silver

[BROBS]

Holy smokes this stuff is good! I usually dislike burley blends but this one is great. Smooth, lightly flavorful and sweet... no bite. No bad aftertaste.

wow. I’m floored by this one and plan to order more. I have the platinum to try as well I can only hope it’s this good!

Maybe you’re just turning into a burley-guy...

Doubt it! This blend is quality. I do like some burley ... just selectively.

I haven’t had a D&R blend yet that I dislike.

I have a tin of Vengeur Platinum on order. I may age it awhile, but when I open it, I will report.

Sounds nice! I've wanted to dip a toe into the D&R stuff but am not sure where to start. I don't dislike Burley at all but I'm just way more of a Va. person ...where should I start with their stuff @BROBS?

Not BROBS, but if you like VA and VAPers, I’d start with a Rimboche, or Three Sails

We've all gone crazy... the Silver and Platinum designations just scream ryo tobacco. I'll have to grab some of this too. I've loved everything I've tried from them. Thanks for the heads up.

@kg.legat0 you can’t go wrong with any of the Rimboche... depending on which you would prefer:
AP Acadian Perique
AB Slight Latakia Condiment
SJ St James Perique

The Vengeur if you’re prefer va
Silver has more Flue cured VA, platinum has less flue cured VA.
Regular I’ve heard is the harshest with most burley.

Athey is an interesting VA blend with an herbaceous quality.

I have Penhooker Silver to try also

those are just the ones I’ve tried. I haven’t been disappointed in a single one.

I believe the Regular has the most burley content

@jiminks has reviews for D&R on tobacco reviews and they are spot on.

The AB (Acadian Bright) also has bright Virginia that was given the Perique treatment, pressed and fermented in the barrel. Sounds interesting. I haven’t tried that one yet. I think Ken Byron used some of that leaf in one of his blends not long ago, but I’m not sure.

I've mentioned before, but I have D&R Two-Timer which is twice toasted burley, and quite good if you like burley, and a little different for its twice-toasted process.

I need to try that one.

I avoided D&R for 3 years figuring the only actual pipe tobacco was the stuff in real tins. Figured the Ice Cream cartons and bags were all RYO branded as pipe. So far, I can’t figure out which if any are actual cig tobacco? Maybe Ryback... like a Camel?

Interesting. I have avoided that one because of the Latakia.

I really like D&R blends in a pipe, but then again I like Drum in a pipe too.

Designations like smokeless tobacco, cigarette tobacco, and pipe tobacco are probably only useful to the agencies that tax tobacco.. not very useful at all for tobacco users.

 

[BROBS]

Well the platinum is good too! A little more full flavored and less sweet.
@mso489 crack that ice cream carton boyyyyy!
