It’s a little sharp, but it doesn’t bite - this is an incredibly smooth and citrusy bright Virginia blend, rich with flavor and intended for a pipe. Some of these bags must have been sitting around for a while, because the bag I received had a depth of flavor it takes some age to acquire (think the bag said over a year.) Windsail Platinum is high-quality, naked leaf - it’s ready to smoke straight from the bag and burns down clean. I have made this my daily smoke since I received it, and that says a lot. Try blending 2:1 with Ramback Gold, you won’t regret it....Read More

Pouch note is Virginia, however, when smoked in my Meerchaum pipe, I could barely detect the typical Virginia flavors in the beginning, by the time I reached mid-bowl, the grassy, sweet taste of Virginia made its appearance. It smoked a tad bit hot but no bites.I rate it as a good tobacco for the price, Low nicotine and mellow taste.Also a great mixer....Read More

Pure taste of Virginia.No bite!!!.Very healthy.

After aging for a year and a half, the tobacco gives an even and cold smoke with almost no taste.
Keep an open mind and think outside the box.

There seems to be some debate over Windsail (Platinum in this case) being RYO cigarette filler or pipe-suitable premium tobacco. To which I say, “why not both”? If someone wants to roll their own, can they not choose to fill with premium pipe tobacco? I rolled my own cigs for years using pipe tobaccos which had a suitable cut to allow it. What I got was plenty of tasty smokes with the convenience of cigarettes where and when I dare not take a pipe. I switched back to pipes after 10+ years at my wife's request (bless her). She confessed the papers ruined the room note for her. Windsail is a very finely cut ribbon that would be perfect for RYO, but it works great in a pipe too. I find that soft fine ribbons such as these need considerably more packing in a pipe bowl than most ribbon or mixed cut blends. Some pipe smokers may not have a good experience if packing as they usually would. If not properly prepped this will burn way too hot and way too fast to get any flavor or enjoyment. You'd be surprised how tightly this can be packed and still allow airflow; always check your draw. So about the taste...this is a light (I'd say) pure Virginia leaf of a golden variety just barely darkening to a more orange hue. As such you'll find a hint of hay and less tang than darker varieties. It is an unadulterated honest tasting VA. It's not as sweet as matured red Virginias, but it is not devoid of sweetness either. Part of what I like about Windsail Platinum is that it lacks any noticeable chemical sweetener topping. It is a very tobacco tasting tobacco. This could turn some smokers off, but I'm sure it will please others. If you've ever tried the popular Lane Limited 1Q and felt it behaved fine, but had an unnatural sweetness, you may like Windsail for it's natural flavor. If you are a fan of topped aromatics, you'll probably find Windsail lacks the sort of flavors you enjoy. I hope this helps. Enjoy....Read More

Having been a fan of "3-Castles" brand gold-leaf, fine-cut for MANY years, I switched to Amer.Spirit (light blue pouch/can) for several years after "3-C" became unavailable. That was my standard for about 6 years, but cost became prohibitive. If you are looking for something 'similar' to either of those tobaccos, this here is a wonderful replacement! I am VERY pleased with D&R Windsail Platinum! It has a nice, mild smoking flavor, with very light hints of cherry & oak. Package came with product perfectly cured, excellent moisture content (not dried-out as 'Steve K.' wrote in his review) and my ziplock-type bag still holds up fine. Room Note: earthy with a hint of baked-bread. Highly recommended for those who like to blend pipe tobaccos AND for those who occasionally like to roll....Read More
Not very good

Product: Daughters & Ryan Windsail Platinum 16oz
right from the start, this tobacco is very very dry, and became all most unsmokealbe very quickly. It taste very much like a cigarette not much like a quality pipe tobacco. It is a Virginia so that is to be expected to a point, however the Virginia blend i have smoked were very sweet and tasty. This is neither, and not to my liking. But i am sure some will like it, but if you are looking for a sweet and tasty tobacco then i suggest buying a small amount to try or buy something else....Read More
