Grand Croupier Double Down
(3.13)
In a certain famous song, Johnny Cash once sung of how to acquired a Cadillac on the cheap: mixing and matching one purloined part at a time from the assembly line. The results may have been a bit funny-looking, but every piece was quality. In a similar spirit (minus the purloining bit), Grand Croupier's Double Down is assembled from all-sorts of quality Virginia/Burley blends; the price is low, the proportions are a spin of the wheel, but the components are quality, coming as they do from an artisanal blending house. The original all-sorts-of-all-kinds Grand Croupier blend even managed to impress our own office test-subjects in our own blind review.

This one is a challenge to review because by its nature it changes depending on when you buy it. Here are some comments about the one I am smoking. It is a very irregular cut with a few hunks of torn large bits a half inch wide and a stick or two. It is slightly sweeter than Pegasus and is a very good smoke. It seems to be fairly slow burning and the earthy burley shines.
The pouch smells as if it "might" have some orientals in there, but I can't taste them. I taste a little cigar leaf from time to time, but this might be my imagination.
I realize it will vary from batch to batch, but I like this one. At the price it is a steal if you like VaBurs.
