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.

The grassy, very tart and tangy citrusy, slightly woody gold leaf Virginia forms the base of the blend. The nutty, toasty, earthy, woody, slightly cocoa-ish burleys are an important condiment. The dry and lightly sour, woody, vegetative, herbal, lightly floral, smoky Oriental also offers a pinch of spice in the background. The strength threshold is in the center of mild to medium, while the taste is a step closer to medium. The nic-hit is a rung below the strength level. Won’t bite and has no harsh moments, and barely has any rough edges. Gets a tad stronger in the last third of the experience. Burns cool, clean and a little fast with a very consistent, mildly complex flavor. Hardly leaves any dampness in the bowl, and requires few relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste, and room note. An easy going all day smoke that’s smoother than expected with just enough character to hold your interest. Three and a half stars.

If you like a no frills smoke with a slight sweetness you'll like this blend. Very smooth on the pallate down to the bottom of bowl. A little citrusy with a slight nuttiness, hint of pepper and buttery finish. Room note is subtle and inviting. Easy on the mouth, no bad aftertaste. Should be taken at a leisurely pace. Surprisingly cool smoke for a dry mixture. No harshness. Somewhat monochromatic ( to its advantage). I recommend airing this out for a short while before lighting your first bowl. Jar the rest. All in all a solid blend for a simple, non-aromatic anytime of day smoke.
