D & R Tobacco Raccoon's Friend
(3.17)
Description from the tin: Acadian bright, red Virginia and mahogany burley tobaccos are blended with double toasted burley tobacco along with a friendly amount of Latakia added to this Cajun take on an English blend.
Notes: Raccoon’s Friend has a healthy dose of mahogany burley along with light burley, acadian bright (a new pipe tobacco blending ingredient created by Mark Ryan from bright Virginia processed in the perique style), and some red Virginia. An accent of Cyprian Latakia adds complexity to the blend.

A nice VaBur with a touch of smokiness. The Burley is nutty and delicious and is ably backed by the tart and sweet fruity Virginias, mostly the Acadian. The Lat is background smoke, but will step forward on occasion. All in all, a very good smoke. I like the Burleys here enough to give this 4 stars. Very tasty.
Medium in body and taste. No added flavoring. Burns very well.

This blend was not biting. It has smoke smooth and burns very well. I have found the flavor to be exceptional and the Arcadian Virginia added a delightfully rich and seductive flavor and presence. This blend is outstanding and is a must smoke.
