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.

Prep: Compared to other aromatic blends, this is on the drier side. I let flakes air dry a few minutes but it didnt need much. They break apart quite easily, akin to C&D flakes.
Notes: Quite a nice surprise for a non-aromatic lover like myself. Yes, it's indeed an aromatic, but the natural flavors of the blend aren't overshadowed by the added flavorings. The Burley is more prominent for me, with the typical nutty and molasses notes. The Virginias are brighter tasting, with hay and slight critrusy notes. I really like the Oriental addition, which you don't seem to find in prominent aro-burley flakes like University Flake or Erinmore. They offer additional earthy, spice notes that especially pop in the retrohale, but appear more evident as the bowl continues. The cocoa is quite prominent but accentuates the blend so well, especially with the burley.
A solid addition under the Presbyterian name! Well done Sutliff. 8/10 for me.

Strong cherry tin and room note. Light smoking. Good early day smoke. Pressed flake. Can be a bit dry in the tin. Burns nicely when packed light to medium.

Tin note is quite sweet and fruity with lite coco. The flakes are packed together tight and a bit on the moist side, but come apart and rub out easily. I smoked it right away no drying time hoping the burley would keep the Virginia's in check. This was the case. No bite in this one with a lite cadence. For the first half of the bowl the fruit toppings are more noticeable. The nutty burley is there but in the background. For me it was difficult to tell the difference from the fruit topping and the citrus from the Virginia's. the fruit kind of overshadows the citrus. Its actually much better than I expected. The fruit topping is not overwhelming the tobacco flavor. Once you get past the 1/2 way point the coco becomes more noticeable and still not overwhelming. If you use a slow cadence you can just get the Turkish flavor way in the background. I would suggest not freight training this one, as I am sure it will bite. Nic hit is mild to medium. Not sure I would smoke this all day but a few bowls would be fine. Very nice aromatic tobacco 4 stars.
