Sutliff Tobacco Co. - Lavish English #17.
The unlit blend contains an equal proportion of each tobacco, and has an appealing aroma: like a vanilla-English. I can't fault the moistness.
Lavish takes to the flame nicely, and gives a flavoursome smoke. Any tobacco harshness is offset by a vanilla topping, which, although not 'sticky', is notable with ease. The smoke from Lavish' has a fairly heavy build, so this makes an open window a requisite. I can't, and won't, fault the burn from Lavish: cool, medium pace, delivering a bite-free smoke.
Nicotine: below medium. Room-note: pleasant.
I smoked my first bowl about a month ago, but wanted to get a 'grasp' on it before posting; so Lavish English? Nice, silky-smooth, and decadent feeling. Albeit, not quite worth four stars:
Recommended.
Pipe Used: Cob
Age When Smoked: Three months
Purchased From: Cup O' Joes

This is an excellent blend. I'm a big Balkan blend fan, White Knight, and Proper English, are favorites. I do like Scottish also. Black Mallory, and Maltese Falcon. That being said, no Balkans in this English is a nice change. I like the slight sweet from the unflavored Black Cavendish. Having Burly in it makes it a little more American, but takes the place of the Balkans in the middle and adds toast. Well balanced but be aware slightly sweet with no flavoring, and no sour from orientals. Add more Latakia if you like, to me it's a nice change exactly what I was looking for.
Similar Blends: Stokkeby English luxury without the Danish Cavendish sweet casing..
