Sutliff Tobacco Company Cringle Flake (2023)

(2.75)
The fifth installment of Sutliff's highly anticipated, seasonal pipe tobacco, Cringle Flake 2023 is a blend of aged, decade-old Red Virginias, 2003 vintage Perique, and stoved Katerini. This incredible holiday mixture presents an exceptional flavor right out of the tin, with a deep richness sure to improve even further with additional age. In this blend, whole leaves are pressed into cakes and then sliced into thick flakes, making this blend primed for aging while its unique profile benefits from the singular flavors of its stoved Katerini. Naturally sweet with spicy, piquant undertones, the result is incredibly complex with notes of stone fruits, earthy spice, and molasses.

This did not meet my expectations it was very dry flake..flavor also was very one 1 dimensional..I can taste only Virginia mild fruit and nearly all of the flavor is gone no Perique or anything else....I was looking forward to this and spent a pretty buck ...highly un ---recommended.It seems over dried over aged and improper moisture content...not impressed.(Zero)Orientals whose name is ridiculous as a category anyways. Update I added a humidity pack and it helped I must admit at the end of the bowl got a little burgundy but mostly sour some vinegar.. I am going to change this to 1 stars. It really is not good
