D & R Tobacco Two Timer

While exploring my recent fasination with shag cut tobacco, I came up on Daughters & Ryan blends. After reading the first review here on Two Timer, I decided to try both the regular and gold with my next order from P&C. I am happy to say that this was a great discovery. The regular Two Timer is fantastic.. what I would envision as a blend shared around a camp fire with a strong cup of cook stove coffee while Generals viewed the maps of the current Civil War campaign. Straight forward blend but with a good amount of body and natural burley flavor. I then tried the TT Gold which has just a bit of Virginia added for a bit more sweetness. This along with the regular have become my planned and anticipated first pipe of the day. It is hard to pick between the two.. so some days I just immediately fill up a second bowl with the sister blend and go back out on my front porch and enjoy the morning and my pipe and coffee. I find this to just be a great morning blend and the Gold is great as a good all day non flavored non nonsense smoke as well. Two Thumbs up. If you have never tried this, you owe it to yourself to get a few ounces and enjoy. Happy Smoking Cheers Mike

Outstanding burley blend.What you see is is what you get with this.The aroma from the tin is heavenly burley.The smoke is straight forward burley and the room note is very pleasant.To top off a fantastic blend I got to buy a tin off of Mr Mark Ryan himself the president of Daughters and Ryan what a fine gentleman!I will buy again thank you Mark!

Probably one of the best straight burley blends I ever had. Not as citrusy as Two Timer Gold, but it has a nice tang to it. It is nutty and chocolatey and unusually sweet for a burley blend. I can see how this tobacco might appeal to those pipe smokers who don't even like burley tobacco. The quality of the leaf is at par with everything D&R produces, and no casing is added to the formula. As you progress with your smoke it gets nuttier and creamier, but does not develop sharp edges like other burley blends do. The tin note has got a slightly sweet note, but sadly enough, it won't show in your room-note, which is cigaretteish, so be prepared for a good rap from your wife. It pairs rather well with coffee, but it is not quite full-body. Nicotine wise, it is medium to strong, but this will depend on your nicotine tolerance as a whole. I am not sure if this flavour profile is achieved with the double roasted process or if it is an intrinsic property of the strain, but it is quite remarkable for a burley blend. I am overtly excited, so 4 stars from me this time.

Just a great double toasted Burley - high grade leaf and no additives. As has been already well documented - nutty, woody and a little earthiness, raisins and hint of sweetness. A great blender. I've also found this really is the one to use if you wish to try and recreate the original Lucky Strike and other old brand flavours, before cigarette companies started using the worst possible cuts of cheap leaf and lacing them with a vast cocktail of additives, preservatives and added free-base nicotine.
