Sutliff Tobacco Company Crumble Kake English #1

This comes in a nicely presented crumble cake/flakes. Not sure of the age. There is no tin date.

The scent is something like cardboard.

Lighting and packing are easy. There is little moisture and I find it ready to pack and smoke straight away.

To me the flavors are an interplay between dried, salted cherry, leather, smoke, cocoa and nuts, something herbal, dried wood and wood spice. Overally it's not a spicy blend really. The spice hint is occasional. It's also not a sweet blend, and the sweetness I do get is darker more like smokey-sweet, or even molasses sweetness (faintly). No bread. No toffee. All of the ability to pull out flavors and have a good smoke depended on the pipe used. It had a tendency to smoke hot sometimes.

Some compare this blend to Penzance. Well, that's nice because I'll probably never get to try Penzance.

Strength and nicotine are around mild to medium. The taste is medium, maybe even mild. It's an okay blend and light enough for all-day enjoyment. It's a good example of why blenders blend. A nice taste is produced.

I don't think I would buy it again because it doesn't have enough character for me. It's just very agreeable. I would recommend it though, because it's probably okay for some, and it's available.
