D & R Tobacco - Two Timer Gold.

I noticed this on offer from Smokingpipes.com at $5.35 and I thought it's no big loss if it's rank. So, here's my thoughts:

When I removed the lid my initial reaction wasn't good: too dry. The blend's made up of mostly brown ribbons but there's a few light yellow ones too. They're medium in size and the tin's redundant of any chunks or twigs.

I get a lot more flavour from the Burley, being very nutty and toast-like. The Burley also has a mild chocolaty taste. In comparison to the Burley the Virginia seems rather supressed, adding very little character. I get no bite but the temp's too high and it goes like the clappers; the dryness wrecks it.

Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: I don't like.

Two Timer Gold? The state it arrived in makes it worth only two stars; not a bad tasting smoke but a mechanical write off. Maybe your tin will differ?

Two stars.
