Sutliff Tobacco Company Presbyterian Reformation
(2.88)
Danish flavorings are added to cake-cut Burley, Virginia, and Turkish tobaccos. The Tobaccos are pressed to elevate the natural rich cocoa notes from the tobaccos which evoke a mocha bouquet that is sure to please.
Notes: Presbyterian Mixture has been an iconic, all-day English blend for decades, blended before the first World War for Reverend Dr. John White, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1925 and 1929. Presbyterian Reformation, however, is quite different from Presbyterian Mixture, its name a play on words between the Protestant Reformation and this blend's reformative nature compared to the original. Comprising Burley, Virginia, and Turkish tobaccos, this Aromatic flake has been lightly cased with cocoa and mocha notes that elevate the natural flavors of its components while leaving it pleasingly aromatic.

The Turkish provides a lot of floralness, earth, wood, vegetation, spice, herbs, and a mild sour note as the lead components. The nutty, earthy, woody, toasty burleys are supporting players. The Virginias offer tart and tangy citrus, sour lemon, bread, sugar, grass, floralness, a couple of pinches of spice, and light acidity. They compete with the burleys for attention. The cocoa and mocha topping moderately tone down the tobaccos. I also sense a mild raspberry essence. The strength, nic-hit and taste levels are medium. There’s no chance of bite or harshness, but it does have a few rough edges. The mildly moist flakes easily break apart to suit your packing preference, and I saw no need to dry them. Burns clean, cool, and a little slow with a very consistent sweet, floral, mildly spicy, slightly sour flavor that extends to pleasantly lingering after taste. The room note is a notch stronger. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires some relights. Can be an all day smoke for the veteran, and repeatable for the less experienced. Three and a half stars.

Sutliff- Presbyterian Reformation.
Not what I expected. From the name I expected an English blend. One that might take a decent number of bowls to form an opinion. But just the tin-note clarified this is a chocolatey aromatic. That said, after just an afternoon my opinion has been formed!
The single row of flakes stretches the entire width of the tin, they're fairly wide. The colour's quite dark and light brown, with the occasional VERY light fleck. This tin has good hydration, just load and ignite.
The smoke? Mainly a chocolate flavoured Turkish and Burley. Not like bitter dark chocolate, but smooth milk chocolate. The smoke tastes a little sweeter for the first quarter. After this point I get a little espresso ''sharpness'' from the mocha, but the mocha and Virginia are the support act. It burns fairly slow, not warranting much attention.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: nice.
Presbyterian Reformation? A good smoke, not amazing though. So, three stars, not four:
Recommended.

Tin note of chocolate, apricots and a nutty like vanilla. Tobacco is a flake of marbled brown, tan and dark brown. Moisture content is great. Rubs out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of cocoa, fruit and vanilla. The cocoa and vanilla dissipate quickly after initial light. The berry/apricot fruity flavor remains in the background throughout the smoke. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of cocoa, vanilla, nuts, sugar, berries/stone fruit, spices, earth, herbal/floral, dry, acidic, molasses, orange peel/zest, peaty vegetation, wood, grassy, a tangy fermented fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Oriental/Turkish, Virginia and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good.
