Grand Croupier: Double Down Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-651-0003

In one of his famous songs, Johnny Cash explained how to acquire a Cadillac on the cheap: mixing and matching one purloined part at a time from the assembly line. The results may have been a bit funny-looking, but every piece was quality. In a similar spirit (minus the purloining bit), Grand Croupier's Double Down is assembled from all-sorts of quality Virginia/Burley blends; the price is low, the proportions are a spin of the wheel, but the components are quality, coming as they do from an artisanal blending house.

A Mainstay in My Tobacco Cellar!
February 08, 2021
Product: Grand Croupier Double Down Bulk
I probably purchase more of this blend than any other on the Smoking Pipes' website. Similar to Low Country's Virginia and Burley, but smoother and a tad lighter on the Vitamin N. I've smoked pounds of this stuff over the years, and it's always con... Read More

完美的牛眼与黄花维吉尼亚混合

Product: Grand Croupier Double Down Bulk
我收到了某种揉碎的牛眼和黄花维吉尼亚的混合。牛眼看起来是ps403,v是黄花烟劲很大,我感觉里面没有白肋。

When I first tried this blend, it was good but couldn't keep lit. So I cellared it for 3 months and tried again after the frustration was gone. My mix burns quickly, has abundant smoke, room note is between pleasant and tolerable, has med/high nic ... Read More

没有突出味道,但持续的蜜甜香以及一点奶香,就证明他绝对值得购买,后面三分之一四分之一的地方不行。但是这价格,抽一半丢一半都可以。
性价比还行

收到的时候有点失望,因为说是vb,但是我闻到了拉草味道,抽吸的时候很顺畅,味道也有点类似某种轻拉,相对来说性价比还不错,但是,我想要的不是轻拉啊,所以给这些分
物超所值,yes

相对于价格而言,烟草的味道还是可以的。你可能得不到蛋糕上的草莓,但是你可以尝到这块蛋糕,你懂我的意思吗
一盘坚果

淡淡甜味及明显的坚果烤面包香味,b草明显占主导,细细品味能抽到可可及咖啡的香味,烟气饱满,满足感较好,罐藏陈化一段时间烟气更淳厚
别被价格骗了

陈化个半年,这草更加醇香,面包香,柑橘味,买了几个批次,但每次都不会让你失望,总有惊喜等着你
好抽,香甜

这款草很好抽,烟气饱满香甜,过鼻无压力,抽进嘴里没杂味,虽然是边角料混合的,但是真的很好抽,给4.5分是草到手里后草很干,要自己给回湿

闻起来臭臭的

Product: Grand Croupier Double Down Bulk
看到那么多的五星好评,然后看到了如此低廉的价格,忍不住手痒便入了8盎司.结果就是闻起来臭臭的,抽起来也是臭臭的。算了,放到我的罐子里让我遗忘它吧,也许并不是一件坏事,你说呢?
不要有期望,可能有惊喜

介绍说是CD边角余料的混合物,有3个分类,这是VB。如果是囤草的话,据说很难买到同一批次、同一味道的斗草,所以一切让上天来安排。这一批次B的比例较高,略显辛辣,恰恰get到我的点,完美,而且这价格还要啥自行车?必须囤一些,过几年开出来看看,也是一种乐趣。
毫无负担的口粮

Product: Grand Croupier Double Down Bulk
不看价格谈品质是在耍流氓,能够品尝出弗吉尼亚的满足感,后段的味道会有些复杂并不享受,灭火后从新点火会更加明显,但是尾段不抽就好,这个价格也并不会心疼。
听说每一批都不太一样

性价比实在是高,我大量囤了。希望放放上一两年能够有惊喜,到手抽吸没有很好,但也不差
白肋爱好者不可错过

开袋是浓浓的麦片香,烟丝干燥,直接装斗,燃烧很快,抽吸几口后淡甜,尾端杂味重,这时候就可以停了。价格无敌

I loaded up a new Old Dominion cob and was surprised at the sweet nutty flavor. I would say my bag was about 70% Burley, 30% Virginia...great quality. For the price it is simply outstanding.

Different Kinds of bright Tobaccos mixed (I guess Virginias, Burleys, Orientals and Perique). The cut looks like it was made at Cornell & Diehl, all broad cut, not Flake or ready rubbed. That tobacco tastes surprisingly good and very natural. It ... Read More

I have bought pounds of this stuff so far, when it is available. Which brings me to my only complaint that the reliablity of this blend isn't what one is used to, but unavoidable due to its nature. The burley is top quality and the pricing can't be b... Read More

对于这款草来说已经作为我的口粮,不要因为价格低就觉得不好。这个价格对应的口感还是不错的,尤其是前段中断,尾端辛辣感上升,斗闻不高,补火次数不多,室韵较好。如果有时间可以陈化半年以上会更好。 每一批次的口感质量参差不齐,就看运气人品了

边角料草,抽不出啥味。价格的确便宜实惠,当平时口粮随便抽抽吧。要求高的别入

This blend will not blow you away. It will not knock your socks off. But it should definitely make you wonder how they made such a descent tasting tobacco for $10.50 for half a pound just by sweeping up bits and pieces from other blends. I’d can’t re... Read More

This is an "all-sorts" blend, comprised of C&D VA/BUR tailings. So there are flakes, ribbons and various bits & pieces. I give this stuff 4 stars, based on the batch I received. Top-shelf tobacco all the way, but quite strong for MY tastes, given ... Read More
