Uncompromising flavor and aroma. A decidedly different English style blend subtly flavored with vanilla and rum.

The black cavendish offers a mild sugary vanilla that well compliments the light rum topping. They moderately sublimate the tobaccos. The tart and tangy citrusy Virginia is mildly grassy in a support role. Can't say I notice much Cyprian Latakia outside of hints of smoke, earth, and wood. The strength and taste levels are very mild. Has very little nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. Not a flavor bomb by any means, but it's a pleasant all day uncomplicated smoke that burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a mostly consistent flavor to the finish. Hardly requires relights, and leaves little dampness in the bowl. Has a short lived, very pleasant after taste and room note. More of a starter aromatic. Two and a half stars.

Sutliff Tobacco Co. - Burma Road.
My blend's a coarse ribbon, sadly it includes a few twiggy pieces. Overall it doesn't look as golden in colour as the current picture here; brown with a few black specks. The aroma from the pouch is as little sharp (rum), but not potent. The moisture's very good.
The smoke? A game of two halves. At one end there's the tobaccos which taste nice, but these are, sadly, let down by the flavourings. The tobaccos: Virginia leads without being too fruity or zesty whilst the Cavendish smooths and sweetens things. Because I note a slight sharpness from the Latakia the Cavendish is an important addition for softening this effect. Now, the added flavours: the rum outweighs any vanilla, having more of a raw alcoholic note than sweet rum flavour. This is the problem, to me. If there were more vanilla it would score higher, but as it is I don't enjoy it; too 'bitter'. On the better side of things it burns steady, but sadly bites me!
Nicotine: not a lot. Room-note: a redeeming feature!
Burma Road? Not my kind of aromatic, but as the tobaccos taste quite nice it deserves two stars:
Somewhat recommended.
