Sutliff Tobacco Company Whimsical
(3.67)
The second release in Sutliff's limited-edition Birds of the Feather line, Whimsical is a complex mixture presented in a dense plug cut and comprising genuine St. James Perique and a diverse mélange of twelve different Virginias including Bright and Red leaf. A medium to full-bodied blend, Whimsical leads with peppery and tangy Perique artfully balanced by the medley of naturally sweet Virginias. Whimsical's flavor profile is deep and rich with pronounced notes of spice, citrus, and natural tobacco sweetness.

Tin note of sharp tangy fruit and fig newtons. The marbled yellow and brown plug is over 1/2 inch thick and fairly dry and dense. Recommend a knife to trim off what you need, rubs out with some effort. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. Flavoring is medium, with notes of lemon, it seems to overpower the natural lemon flavor of the Virginias, it's too strong to be natural, it dies down to the background in the last 1/4. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of tangy citrus, lemon, vinegary, acidic, spicy/peppery, fermented sour, spice, tart, dry, leather, floral, wood, bread, earth, sweet, mildly bitter, a zesty spicy cigar background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is barely leading over the Flavoring with Burley and Perique supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

Tin note: slightest foot odor from the perique, rest of it is nice and fruity. Raisins, maybe stewed fruit. Light to moderate fruit in the smoke, but more of something I'm still not sure how do describe. Maybe grassy, hay, but that doesn't seem quite right. Maybe it is, maybe it's the combination of fruit and grasses. Very pleasant in any case. Can't assess the nicotine hit, because it seems like it'll burn my mouth if I push hard enough to get a buzz going. It's said there's a topping, but I'm not tasting anything I believe couldn't have come from the tobaccos; the fruity character certainly isn't overwhelming or unnatural-tasting. The flavor does wane toward the end of the bowl, unfortunately. Otherwise, this is very good.
