[newbroom]

initial trails of various D&R blends just received 2 days ago, have me enjoying them in my larger cobs.

Another bowl of Ryback in my MM Diplomat. So far, I'd put Ryback right there with any codger blend as an all day smoke, and as I smoke more of it, who knows? It may fade into monotony, or, develop interesting nuance.

It's supposed to be a VaBur and that's exactly how I 'read' it.

The cut is very fine and somewhat offputting at first. I've found that it's difficult to choke it though so that you pack it tightly and it still draws and burns just fine.

I find JimInks review to be right ON.
