Sutliff Tobacco Company Rum Raisin D57

The very nutty, earthy, woody, deep molasses and cocoa sweet burley is the star component. The smokey, woody, herbal, floral, earthy, slightly dry Turkish plays a small support role. The unsweetened black cavendish chips in with a little brown sugar. The light brown, toasty Virginia cavendish provides a drop or two of honey, and is mildly grassy and citrusy in the background. The toppings are mildly applied, and the rum is a little more than the faint raisin essence. They tone down the tobaccos to a fairly small degree. The strength is a couple of steps past the mild mark, while the taste is in the center of mild to medium. The nic-hit is mild. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a light creaminess and very smooth, rich consistent flavor that doesn’t weaken at any time. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires few relights. Has a pleasant after taste and room note, and is an all day smoke.
