Daughters & Ryan's Ramback Gold consists of the standard Ramback mixture's all-Turkish blend, but lightened and sweetened up a bit by the addition of a brighter flue-cured Virginia component.
Truth be told, I'm still not sure. Let's be honest with each other for a minute. Daughters and Ryan started as a RYO company, and while all of their tobaccos are now all pipe tobaccos, it's clear that's not how they started. They're shag cut, acidic,...
