Sutliff Tobacco Company Taste of Summer

The smell of peaches was very strong when I first opened the tin. However, the peach taste is not as strong as the tin aroma. The Virginia and burley are mildly noticeable; a little grass, citrus, nuts, and molasses. I barely observe the black cavendish. Has very little nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. It burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a consistent, though hardly complex flavor as the peach dominates the tobaccos. leaves little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. A comfortable all day smoke with a pleasant after taste and room note.

Smoked this in a rock cob with various stages of drying.

Out of the tin it is a little moist. The tobacco is not goopy and looks like a regular burley/va/cav blend. Tin note is peaches that waft to your nose. The aroma doesn't assault the room, which is nice.

When first out of the tin it will smoke but doesn't stay lit easily. 4-5 relights. After a bit of drying (half hour) it was ready to burn cool and easy. When I dried it a lot more for comparison it still smoked well for a sipper, but a freight train would get bit by it.

The peach taste is slight and is mixed with a primary burley overtone. This is a great aromatic for a person who is skeptical on aros. Another reviewer said it was too mild and if you smoke an aro you want it to be strong. I don't agree. Some people would like a compromise between peach overload and nothing. Because the peach is lighter it doesn't have to be wet and goopy. You can easily notice the peach taste and smell and that is great to me.

Something I could smoke all day around the better half and not feel bad when the smoke drifts her way. Because even if it is a 50mph straight line wind and she is upwind, the smoke would come right at her. I will never understand the physics behind that.

The blend includes slightly less black Cavendish than Virginia and Burley. The roomy tin's allowed the tobacco to breathe somewhat and achieve good hydration.

I never expected to like this, peaches often turn me off in a tobacco. The peaches take the lead, unequivocally, but there's the suggestion of a further topping: a honey sweetness. As expected, from the appearance, the smoke from T.o.S. is devoid of a sticky black Cavendish trait: it adds a vanilla-creaminess, but in no way does it taste like the archetypal aromatic. The Burley and Virginia take credit for far more of the smoke: sweet-nuts and grass. The burn from it's good, requiring little attention.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: nice.

Taste of Summer? Although it's a pleasant surprise how much I like it I'll refrain from awarding four stars as there's a lot of aromatics I enjoy more.

Recommended.

P.S. Merry Christmas to the whole community.

Peaches and cream out of the tin, a medium ribbon-cut, easy to pack, easy to draw. Immediately from the dictator “smells good!”A pouch forward aroma leads the developing harmony of this perfect blend of a balanced slow cool mellow fine ember-sipping enjoyment. Master Blender McAllister accurately matches the smoking enjoyment with a true ‘taste of summer’ tobac. This experience would be a satisfying, slightly sweet desert without any calories! Relights were enjoyable starts. My next great enjoyment will be in discovery of his other offerings. 4 Stars and highly recommended!

Blech. I got this tin for free at a pipe show and I can see why it sat on the table for a long time. This is an insanely sweet and goopy mixture of average tobacco leaf that is cased to the point of irreparable harm.

The tin says it tastes like peaches. Ok - Maybe it does. I could not taste the peaches though because I felt like syrup was about to come out of my pipe stem. I like aromatics, but there's a point of no return that Sutliff reached with this stuff.

Yuck. 1 star.

(Note: Keep in mind that a lot of other reviews say this is a mild blend. Maybe the tin I got was bad, or it wasn't dried out enough. I let it sit for half an hour before smoking, so take that for what you will. This is usually enough time for aromatics to "cool down".)

Tin note: outstanding, just like peach cobbler.

Cut is nice and loose, very easy to pack. My tin was not overly cased or damp. The blend of Virgina, burley and cavendish is well balanced; I wish there was more cavendish and less burley, as I tend to smoke pretty fast and always get bit (but this is my own stupid fault). It smokes fine, down to white ash; I always get dottle but again, I smoke too fast and it doesn't really bother me.

This is a nice aromatic if you want a fruit flavor that is not the standard cherry. The taste is pretty light, so I was a little disappointed that it didn't taste as good as it smelled. It bored me petty quick; after half the tin, I put it on the shelf for 8 months. When I smoke it now, the peach taste is much stronger, so I would definitely recommend aging this for a while. To Sutliff's credit, their little tins really do keep the baccy fresh for a long time, I have had good luck with popping them open for a whiff, then letting them sit for a few months.

Overall, I'd give it 3 out of 5. I like English too, so this is a nice alternative aromatic, but I think will leave people wanting a little more.

Let me start by saying this is my first review. Please keep that in mind. First of all, I am, prone to aromatics, and I very much like this brand. The Taste of Summer came out of the tin reasonably well dry. I smoked this out of a Savinelli balsa system, a Peterson System, and a churchwarden. The smoke was cool, though somewhat wet. I did not get any tongue bite, and I found the peach flavor to be present and noticeable. As far as the room note, I generally cannot tell when I am smoking, but with this particular blend, I could definitely taste and smell the peaches. In my opinion, it is a smooth, tasty smoke good for afternoons and evenings.

The tin note on this is peach cobbler. When smoked, it is a light VaBur with black cavendish base, so it is fairly mild on the tobacco end of things. It has a distinctive peach flavor. The peach is not overpowering but it is the only real flavor you get.

It may be the black cavendish or the peach topping, but I get a slightly musty note. I would like a more naturally sweet Virginia base on this one. I can't really recommend this one.

A very pleasant peach tobacco that rises above so many other peach blends. Great tin note. The peach does not completely take over the smoke, but it is the dominant feature. Lit and burned well. No bite.

Ordered this kinda on a whim, was looking for something "summery." The peaches definitely take the lead but not in a syrupy sweet way that I've find in other peach tobaccos. There's also a kind of creaminess in the flavor and it's perfect for smoking on a summer day as the sun sets. This is definitely an aromatic so if you're looking a peach flavored Best Brown Flake, you might wanna leave this and drink a Peach Nehi with a pipe of BBF.
