Sutliff Tobacco Company Burma Road

I love aromatic English blends this time of year. Its in the upper 50's when I leave the house in the morning, so a light English with a bit of sweetness is perfect for my morning commute!

Pouch appearance as StevieB said, doesn't include the bright Va as pictured. Its more of a mottled brown with some black Latakia thrown in. The tobacco is comprised of long, wide, crinkly ribbon, with a few stems in the mix. The blend packs well if you break up the long ribbons a bit first. The pouch aroma is a sweet, vanilla note, with the perfect amount of smokiness. I do not detect much alcohol-rum in the pouch.

Initial light is heavenly! If you like a semi-sweet, flavorful and balanced aromatic English, this is an amazing blend! Its not a smoky lat bomb, nor is it a chunky-chewy-salty Balkan. Smoked slowly, the sweet vanilla sticks with this blend. The latakia is detected through a nose exhale, but doesn't contribute much to the room note. I used to dog on Sutliff for their goopy, artificial flavored and chemically tasting tobaccos. But they made some damn solid blends, and this is no exception!
