Sutliff Tobacco Company Tobacco Galleria - Fox & Hound

They sure got the name right on this one because it taste exactly like what a fox or hound would leave on the ground after relieving himself.This is the nastiest tasting tobacco I have ever tried.Reminds me of a non-filtered Chesterfield cigarette.

Had a pouch of Fox and hound come in the mail as a sample. Being an aromatic guy I got nose of the bag and recalled the time many years ago I had a mouth full of the Oriental and Baltic smoke before I knew better and swore it off. Still they were good enough to send it so I would be good enough to try it and I like the stuff. It's light enough on the English spectrum not to be a turn off for the bystander or difficult to smoke and has enough complexity over the aromatic to really be a nice break from the usual one trick pony. A nice option from a druggist type tobacco that finally prompted me to dedicate a pipe to a specific type of tobacco. [UPDATE] Having tried this and really fallen in love with the oriental English blend I went out and found something else. After some time with Squadron Leader in my pipe I decided to again try the Fox and Hound. Yucky, it's like White Owl, or Dutch Treat cigar in my pipe tobacco. There is a chemical taste and bitterness. I would advise to abandon ship, however and as the saying goes I got what I paid for.

I too recieved a pouch of this as a sample in the mail. Oddly enough and perhaps because I'm a relatively new-ish pipe smoker, I absolutely love the pouch/tin aroma of nearly any English blend as I also enjoy a strong, peaty dram of single malt and the smell of a campfire, but the taste of English tobac can sometimes be a bit disagreable to me. Again, from my minor bit of experience, it seems that Fox & Hound is a more mellow (more "affordable") version of similar styles. Perhaps that's why I enjoyed the smoke? The pouch aroma has a pleasant, woody, smoky and musty sort of thing going on. The first bowl's worth required a bit of drying, but lit just fine for me with a couple of relights.

There's a quick bit of lingering sweetness from the Virginias and a nice woody smokiness from the Latakia. All in all a decent experience. My palette has yet to discern much else, or perhaps there's not much else to describe. Not the best of the English blends I've tried, but far from the worst.

This tobacco is a decent smoke, if you like the smell of Latakia in the pouch. I love the taste of latakia (so much so that Penzance is my favorite non-aromatic) but I can't stand the smell in the pouch/tin. A decent low-cost non aromatic.

This would make a decent middle of the road strength English, but as with all Altadis blends, it has been ruined by the humectant applied to it.

One of the first tobaccos I tried, and never tried it again. I found it far too bitter and smokey tasting, like smoking dried wood. The aftertaste was a bit more than I could stand, and the room note was awful- it ran everyone out of the room. I felt a bit nausiated after smoking it and I didn't even inhale- perhaps it was the cheap cigar/generic full-flavored cigarette-like taste. Too much latakia in this mixture for me. Not recommended.

This tobacco could be a lot better than it is. All of the components are there for a great blend but the balance is poor. The latakia is probably the closest thing to being correct, but the Perique is almost undetectable. I also wish that this blend had some more Turkish and a bit less burly. What I will say that this is probably a good "starter" English, it is cool burning and relatively mild. The tobacco burns evenly and with no surprises (good or bad). I tend to like this blend if you add a bit of McClelland's blending Perique and Oriental in small quantities.

Slightly bitter taste with aroma of burnt wood. Dumped the rest of this one in a big jar in the garage. I call that blend Cast Off. This blend is destined for a future camp fire, dumping the whole jar in the fire, that is :} .

Its good, its dependable and its nice to find a low price tobacco that is this good. Well it does have some sort of pg casing on it, but has no artificial flavoring.

Its nice and woodsy but with age has turned a little sharper but sweeter virginia taste.
