Daughters & Ryan, The Best or The Worst?

[canucklehead]

I haven't tried any D&R tobaccos yet. Every review I've seen is either very positive or very negative, no in between. I just ordered a 3.5oz container of Ryback, in the hopes that it will be somewhat similar in a way to Drum halfzware which I smoked as a kid in RYOs and like in a pipe now, but it's prohibitively expensive here these days. I like dry, unadulterated tobaccos, so I think I'll like it.

I also like the descriptions of the Rimboche blends and was curious about them.

What's the consensus on D&R tobaccos, are they an awesome deal for great pipe smokes, or are they stinky flavourless cigarette filler?

stinky flavourless cigarette filler

Never retrohaled a cigarette have you? Any tobacco can be cigarette filler if rubbed out enough. I often use Sansepolcro for RYO.

D&R tobaccos are great in a pipe, and a great bargain. Three Sails is another good one.

I have and I miss it lol! I was more referencing the bad reviews that D&R tobaccos get.

Glad to here that you like them though, they do seem like an good deal compared to most other companies.

Ignore that noise, D&R make great quality natural blends that I would highly recommend to anyone. If you like aromatics, London Dock is a great offering and perfectly dry and cool smoking straight from the tin.?

Good to hear, I am a sucker for anything with a picture of a sailing ship on it lol.

Just got my first tin to try (Rimboche AP). Might nab a little Picayune as well.

Cool, let me know how that Rimboche is when you get around to trying it.

I have a tub of Riboche SJ on the way should be here soon looking forward to trying it. jiminks gave it 4 stars so I assume there is something to like about it! Will share some thoughts once I've had a taste.

Just bought some Picayune. I like it a lot. Ive been mixing it with PA. Its pretty strong and dry. It has ryo qualities, but I like all tobacco.

 

[canucklehead]

How about this one? I think I might buy it just for the name and container, lmao.

If you're pipe's still warm after four hours seek medical attention.

I have been smoking D&R almost exclusively for about the last 3 yrs. I've tried a lot of their blends and always buy the 14 ooz.r 16oz. or whatever they end up weighing bags.
At first, I was struck by the cigarette like qualities many but not all of their blends present and was not thrilled.
It takes some experimenting and learning how to pack some of those finely shredded blends so that they'll not choke your bowl.
I have enjoyed all the Rimboche blends, and like the S.J. version the most.
I like to take Picayune and 3 Sails and mix them. Often I'll include some TwoTimer.
I smoked Drum ryo for years. One blend I found that tasted very similar, but richer was Ryback Gold.
I no longer smoke any cigarettes and inhalation is only by occasional accident.

Listen to @chasingembers . He's telling the story correctly. Some of the blends are meant for cigarettes and pipes, but many of them are for pipes exclusively. The tobacco often is on the dry side because Mark Ryan doesn't believe people should pay for water weight. The Rimbouche VaPers are very high quality. I also recommend V.I.P., which is an aro-VaPer. I could recommend a lot of other D&R bends, too. High quality tobaccos at bargain prices.

I have an unopened tin of Taps I'll get back to you when the quarantine ends.

It's actually a nice tobacco. Not as strong as the name would suggest, though. However, I had to give it a year of rest in a jar before it became really good.

I have only smoked the two timer, although I would not smoke it regularly, I would recommend it, ESPECIALLY to someone calling for something dry and unadulterated... (even if the name 'two timer' seems more wet and adulterated )

 

[mityahicks]

Love them.

I smoke cigarettes as well. The lockdown meant that I cannot go out and buy cigarettes. D&R Three Sails came to my rescue. Handmade cigarettes from Three Sails (Sometimes sweetened with Lane 1-Q ) meant I don’t have to risk myself going out, and also enjoy a better cigarette.

I am impressed with D&R and will smoke them in a pipe as well.
