This is another great Sutliff blend. I love smoking this blend. I got a sample tin at the Columbus Show in August 2012, and have ordered many more tins because this is a blend that I want to smoke on a regular basis. It lights well, smokes well, and burns all the way to the end of the bowl. I find the taste to be very satisfying, deep and rich through the entire bowl.

Me again, loving the Sutliffe! Has the flavor of a mild English, with the room note of an aromatic. Passes the Ferguson test AND the Mrs Ferguson test. The Cavendish is absolutely there, believe that. He really cool thing is that you don't notice until after the smoke. Its smooth and creamy all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Burns cool and clean. This would make a great transition to English blends, in my opinion. Do your wife a favor and pick some up post haste!

For me from first light to bottom of bowl, a very nice taste. The aroma reminds me of Antique Stores. Not Thrift stores.

This is a well crafted blend with no single tobacco in a dominant role. Excellent first third, steady second, and pleasant finish. I have been smoking GL Pease Abington this summer and this offering is a enjoyable change of pace. Lighter and not as complex, but still satisfying.

Altadis's Sutlifee blends seem to be all across the board in quality. This is a 2.5 Star blend. As another reviewer noted, there seems to be a slight topping of vanilla on this which, IMO, masks the Oriental and Latakia components. Faintly peppery Perique comes through on occasion. Not a bad smoke but it needs some refining.

The tin description reads "Orientals, Perique, Latakia, and Black". It is mostly black mixture with the soft tin note of mild vanilla. I could not detect the orientals or latakia. The perique is far in the background but the overall flavor is pleasant. The black cavendish seems to be unsweetened but hints of vanilla. Towards the end of the bowl the perique lets your tongue know it was there with a slight peppery tingle. As with most of the blends I have tried from Altadis it is pleasant, friendly and will not offend. Worh a try.

This is a great one. My tobacconist recently got this brand in, and I've started working my way through the blends. This one has enough latakia and perique to give it the punch, but not so much that it's going to put other people off. My only complaint is the tin. I'm not into the plastic, coffee can lid. Picky I know, but I like my tins to be made of tin.
