Sutliff Tobacco Company Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend
(2.84)
A pleasing aromatic with a nutty sweet burley, gold cavendish, and flavored black cavendish taste. These tobaccos are combined with fruity plum and wine notes, along with a slight flavor push from a hint of Latakia for added sweetness and body. A harmonious blend that burns cool and slowly for full enjoyment.
Notes: Created in 1946, the blending was done under the personal supervision of Edward G. Robinson himself.

Edward G Robinson’s pipe blend is an old–fashioned all day smoke. It’s an American blend typical of what one would find on the store shelf back in the first half of the 20th century and last couple decades of the 19th.
This is not a flavor bomb. The taste is mild: suitable for smoking in pipe after pipe throughout the day. Back when men had but one or two pipes and smoked just one brand of tobacco. You found a taste you liked and that’s what you smoked. There was no such thing as a rotation.
My grandfather, for example, smoked London Dock. That was it. And if I recall correctly, he had no more than six pipes — and only regularly smoked two of them. Those were simple days back then.
My tongue, unfortunately, can’t pick up a lot of the nuances that other reviewers pick up on. What I can say is that I like Robinson’s blend.
The tin aroma is the best I’ve ever smelled. It’s absolutely delicious. I could leave an open tin on my desk for potpourri. The taste is a mild version of the tin aroma. Something akin to a sweet steamed pudding.
Now that I am retired and back smoking a pipe, I can see this blend quite easily being with me all day, every day. It is simply delicious and unobtrusive. Kind of like classical music in the background.
If I did not like Sutliff’s Match Holiday as much as I do, I’d be a convert to making Robinson’s blend my all day smoke.
Edward G Robinson’s Pipe Blend is Highly Recommended, if you’re looking for a mild, all day companion.

I can't wax eloquent about this tobacco because all I know is that I like it. It's a very smooth burley with what my palate senses as a red wine topped cavendish. There must be just enough latakia in there to add a smooth, faintly sweet undertow (I only know this because they tell me, not because I can identify it). Everything is perfectly balanced and it leaves behind a note that will not offend non-smokers in your midst. Great everyday smoke.

Tin note of smoky wine, tart plums and spices. Tobacco is a coarse cut of dark brown, brown, tan and black. Moisture content is good, some pipe smokers may want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of wine, cinnamon and plum. The wine remains in the background from beginning to end, the spicy cinnamon comes in and out sporadically and the plum is most evident in the beginning but disappears near the 1/2-way point. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of tangy dark plum, smoky spices, nuts, molasses, zesty citrus, wood, sugar, slight spicy cinnamon, cocoa, peaty vegetation, floral, fermented sour, toast, orange peel, a tart wine and lemon grass background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Flavoring, Cavendish, and Latakia supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

This isn't a full-on aromatic so it's not as sweet as others, but that is what makes it unique. The burley helps, no doubt. Definately a sugary fruit note of some type. Reminds me of molasses mostly. Maybe tastes like a hint of plum, or a red grape juice, also.
This is the kind of aromatic I like. You can still taste the actual tobacco. No chemical, or manufactured, aftertaste.
Nice smoke. This one certainly grew on me. I wasn't super impressed the first smoke, but if it was the choice of the late great EGR then it deserved a 2nd and 3rd. The more I smoke this blend, the more I appreciate it.
Definitely a good choice when you may be around others who don't smoke. The aroma is a pleaser.
