D & R Tobacco Vengeur Platinum Blend
(2.50)
A premium, medium bodied blend, enhanced by the addition of exceptional flue-cured tobaccos and developed to be smooth and flavorful, this interpretation of the classic U.S. Blend style is delightfully complex with a balanced finish. No chemical flavorings added. This premium blend is medium bodied and contains the finest quality Gold Leaf, Burley, and Oriental tobaccos.
Notes: Vengeur Platinum uses a bit more flue-cured leaf than the other entries, for a slightly sweeter blend.
D&R means Daughters & Ryan Tobacco Inc.

Had about 6oz of this blend. Easy to smoke, light it and forget. Very affordable. Comes in bulk.
That is all the good I can say as it bit me like crazy. Harsh chemical like coating left in my mouth. Tried it in a variety of pipes, even added a little moisture to it. Have not had a blend bite me like this so I am marking it up to my own chemistry and not the tobacco.

The Virginias are grassy, but not excessively piquant or sharp; the Burley(s) are somewhat nut-like, but mostly woody; and the Turkish is easily recognizable -- especially in the finish -- offering an exotic edge without upstaging the other players. (The Turkish tastes amazing similar to McClelland's tinned "blending Turkish".) There's just plain, unadorned tobacco flavor here, without much depth, and about as suitable for cigarette smoking as for the pipe.
I give it a lukewarm recommendation, for while there is nothing to dislike here, there is nothing to rave about either. Amateur blenders will find this a ready and malleable base that can be pushed in any direction; and cigarette smokers moving to the pipe will find a familiar alternative to flavor-loaded pipe blends.
