Sutliff Tobacco Company Cringle Flake (2021)
(3.50)
After being aged for over 20 years, US grown Red Virginias are Cavendished and combined with Mark Ryan's 2003 Perique to create a one-of-a-kind vintage blend. The whole leaf is then pressed and sliced into broken flakes to provide a smoke that harkens back to the "good ole days."

Compared to the 2020 version it is much better fresh out of the tin. No tin aroma of note. find that leaving the tin open for a few hours for several days opens it up. I rub out all of my flakes. It does take a light or two but once going I can smoke it to the bottom. Lots of smoke, great taste and no tongue bite whatsoever. It is one fine vaper.

Well. I waited a few days to review this as my first impression was meh at best. I will start by saying I'm a Va/Per whore to begin with so I wanted to love it. I DO however like it. I do not dry my tobacco at all in the tobaccos I smoke, however this review is after 3 hours on a tray. This tobacco comes very wet. Not what I'd call moist , but a sticky tobacco. The tin note is of ancient fermenty tobaccos. Tart, earth, ripe dried fruits, vinegar. Smoking it straight from a freshly opened tin I was extremely disappointed. Singular with a ridiculous amount of relights. But the 3 hour drying time yielded a slow burning bready and tangy smoke. The room note is very bakery fresh. Like sourdough. And at last the Va/Per experience I was hoping for. I will probably trade a tin of this. But it is a worthy addition to this new tradition of tobaccos. As one of my You Tube channels I followed stated, "I wish they hadn't Cavendished the Virginia" as I believe these ancient tobaccos would have been less singular if they hadn't. That's just my opinion. But it is still good.
