Hold the phone. OHM it may be, but Daughters & Ryan is real quality.
It may be quality but it's produced by the same people on the same equipment as OHM and 752, whose other manufacturing is RYO supplies. I'm just saying as of about 5 years ago now they (D&R) are not an independent company anymore and the company that owns their brand is not focused on pipes. The fact that some people happen to smoke what's left of their products (you should have seen D&R's line 6 years ago) in pipes, is incidental to them at best.

Maybe I’m lucky for the tastebuds I have. I don’t own hardly an ounce of Sutliff but lots of burley and Virginia from Daughters and Ryan. It tastes like tobacco finely cut.

They def get quality leaf.. I have pounds of their stuff put back. Including a few of ones you can't get anymore. What's left may start to change now that Mark Ryan is reaching the time he previously said he'd be leaving though. Now like with STG we will have to rely on the likes of Mr. Shargio Patel, Chief Officer of Mergers & Acquisitions, to ensure the quality of our smoke... forgive me if I don't hold my breath, lol.

Good point. We already lost some great blends. I just realized that Cockstrong from D&R may have been discontinued recently too. It was a a good one for sure.

I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow will be online a pretty extensive chat with @leonardw about the STG/Macbaren acquisition
Thank you for this. Great interview and great host. I haven't finished it yet, but so far very informative and great to hear it from the source. Hopefully it will help keep folks from postulating false ideas.
