I'll add the Two Timer to my next bulk order. I've been enjoying Pegasus and Winchester lately as my morning and afternoon smokes. I was a loyal Prince Albert smoker but after about 5 years of PA I started craving something stronger. When I started pipe smoking my first everyday blend was Carter Hall for a few months then switched to Sir Walter Raleigh aromatic. Then I went to SWR regular for years. I switched to PA and Lane Limited Ready Rubbed. I wasn't satisfied though, like I was wanting more tobacco. When a friend suggested Pegasus I instantly loved it. Another friend was a long time Velvet smoker and he switched to Winchester when Lane moved to Denmark, so I tried Winchester and really liked that too. That tobacco you helped create with Watch City Cigar, does that have a satisfying nicotine content? I'm sure the taste is wonderful along with the aroma, especially if you were involved.While some D&R blends can be used for cigarettes, which I don't smoke, all of them are suitable for the pipe. Some are are made for a pipe only. Three Sails, Penhooker and Penhooker Silver are double duty products, but I enjoy their high citrus content. Windsail is just a durn good straight Va. smoke.
If you want a burley blend with a little strength, try Two Timer and Two Timer Gold.
The nic-hit in Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture is a tad more than moderate. It was designed to be a mild to medium, all day, mostly comfortable, upscale OTC. Neither of us wanted a nicotine bomb. We went through seven versions before we were satisfied. The flavor of the final one reminded me quite a bit of the 1950s George Washington Cut Plug, and when I told Ernie Q. that, we decided to go with it. Frankly, I think it's a little better than GWCP. The 1970s production GWCP was a scaled down version of the 1950s one.I'll add the Two Timer to my next bulk order. I've been enjoying Pegasus and Winchester lately as my morning and afternoon smokes.

Oh wow Jim! I actually have a box of GW that's unopened. A buddy of mine acquired two boxes and sent me one. I was contemplating on opening it and rehydrating it if it were to need it, and try it out. I couldn't bring myself to open the box. I know it was discontinued in '74, the year I appeared on this planet lol. I think this box is from the late 60s, it doesn't have a bar code like some of my PA metal pocket tins do. I've always wanted to try GW. Anyway, thank you for the response. I need to reorder some more Deluxe Crumb Cut so I'll give Cut Plug Mixture a try.
