Sutliff Tobacco Company Mellow Peach #205

The grassy, citrusy Virginia is mildly noticeable. The sugary black cavendish is a tad more obvious. The rich, mildly bitter, lightly sour, sweet peach topping mostly drowns them out. The strength is a couple of steps past the mild mark, while the taste is a rung past that, just reaching the center of mild to medium. Hardly has any nicotine. Won’t bite. Burns warm, and I recommend a slow puffing cadence. Has a consistent flavor all the way to the finish. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has an unattractive, lightly lingering after taste. An all day smoke. One and a half stars.

Sutliff Tobacco Co. - Mellow Peach #205.

It's a coarse cut mixture, having a lot more brown pieces than black, mine had smokable moistness, and there's a strong aroma of peaches; also quite a bitter smell.

So, the smoke? To me this exemplifies exactly how to use a topping to ruin tobaccos. Topping aside, the tobaccos are more of a 'fresh' base for an aromatic, rather than a Cavendish laden sticky one; the sprightly Virginias lead, whilst the black Cavendish adds a soothing quality. Sadly, I'll return to the subject of the topping: acrid, bitter, amaroidal, and generally unpleasant. Oh, and also strongly added. On the plus side it burns well and the temperature of the smoke's medium. Back on the bad points: it bites badly.

Nicotine: above mild. Room-note: a slight redemption for this ghastly blend!

#205? Although the 'note isn't bad and the tobaccos taste pleasant, the added flavouring keeps this right at the bottom of the ratings. Not recommended:

One star.

Hope my bin likes peaches!!!!
