D & R Tobacco - Raccoon's Accent.
As I looked through my tobaccos this morning, still tired and bleary eyed, I spotted this and thought 'Raccoon's Accent? What the hell!'. The name doesn't exactly imply what type of blend it is! Wrongly, I guessed it as an aromatic. But opened it anyway!
My blend has the appearance of a simple, medium brown, ribbon. I wouldn't call it a Mixture. As I remember most of the D & R blends I've had have been too dry, but this is faultless.
I'm not a fan of the smoke. Objectively speaking, the Oriental and Virginia match each other well. They both have a sharp, piquant, character, and the similar traits work nicely together. The Burley gives the least, I can identify it, but it isn't a forerunner in the smoke. Subjectively speaking now: I find the general flavour too vinegar like. I'd wager this comes from the perique process and it taints the experience, for me. Something else to abate the rating is the burn. Too fast, too warm, and I get a bit of bite from the smoke.
Nicotine: medium, maybe a speck above. Room-note: not nice.
Raccoon's Accent? Sorry, not something I'd recommend:
One star.
