Sutliff Tobacco Company Sunrise Smoke

This is an excellent English style pipe tobacco, similar I understand to Dunhill's Early Morning. It's a pleasant mild to medium smoke with a nice balance of Latakia with orientals and Virginias. Give it a try if you like English blends. I give it a 4.

An outstanding tobacco. I thoroughly enjoyed this blend from start to finish. It has a mild room note, is not to strong nor extremely weak and is an altogether smooth smoke.

This blend is advertised as one "for fans of Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe." I do not see that much of a similarity. EMP has much more of an oriental presence, and is a bit smokier. However, Sunrise Smoke is pretty good. It has a nice sweetness that almost reminds me of maple or brown sugar. It looks smokier in the tin than it tastes. There is a little spice, which could be either from the orientals, or preservatives. This is a tasty blend that, while not very similar to Dunhill's EMP, is on its own, very tasty and recommended...

I would say this is an excellent blend. I would call myself primarily an aromatic & virginia tobacco smoker and I don't usually care for heavy Latakia blends if that gives you an idea where I am coming from however keeping as unbiased as possible this blend is a great transitional blend maybe for an aromatic smoker wanting to trial some Latakia. Sunrise lights and smokes easily with no bite, nice sweet flavor with a pinch of Latakia in the background. From what I can tell the room note is decent. The tobacco comes at near perfect moisture and smokes down easily. Worth looking into. I have had surprisingly good luck with all the private stock blends from Sutliff which have become a nice treat.

I found this on the whole to be a v pleasant, light, soft, slightly Oriental-forward smoke. What little Latakia there is was very much providing a little structure and very much in the background. The casing is there, perhaps a touch of Anise? It burned cleanly for me, not a trace of 'goopiness' that others have found. Not a cool smoke but without any real biting, and I found in large pipes it did get rather boring towards the end, but in a medium-size pipe, this was a nice relaxing smoke, although there was a lot more fluffy ash flying about than in most of the blends I've tried.

Nothing like EMP, but that's okay by me. Since I know there are many tobaccos out there I would rate a 4, the question arises would I rebuy this particular tobacco, assuming my tastes don't change much more. In this case, the answer is probably not.

This is simply an American/English blend that while not outstanding in any way is very pleasant to puff away on. Everything about this blend could start out with the word slightly. Sunrise Smoke is slightly smokey, slightly sweet and very slightly oriental. Again it is very pleasant and while not complex, consistent and mild. You can just puff away on this all day, if you are so inclined. It burns dry, no nasty gaseous flavors from whatever mild casing has been used, not even a tingle of tongue bite from the Virginia used and it doesn't seem to ever go out until the bowl is finished. It is a fine tobacco for breaking in a pipe. A nicely formulated option from Altadis.

It is quite an interesting tobacco. If you don't like Cavendish, I certainly recommend staying away. It has quite a strong top note, pretty much what you'd expect from an aromatic, it can be a bit goopy, as we expect from aromatics as well. Other than these though, it isn't bad. Per say. It just takes a bit of getting used to. I can't say it will make it into my regular lineup, but I certainly will finish the tin.

Cut as a rather fine ribbon, this smells primarily spicy and sweet with a light smoky overtone.

This is based upon excellent white burley, wholesome and rich. There is a goodly amount of turkish leaf, contributing its fragrant richness. There is a gentle amount of virginia and a good touch of natural black burley cavendish for sweetness. Latakia content is noticeable, though light.

A quality americanized english, though no Dunhill, this. Light and gentle, though flavorsome, Sunrise Smoke is a winning entry in the premium market, though it falls shy of the super-premium slotting. At a reasonable price point, this is a no brainer. This went well in a chamber of any gauge.

I'm no expert in latakia blends. In fact I won't be fool enough to attempt to pawn myself off as a know it all in anything.

I don't think its wise as a reviewer to compare one toby to another. Plain and simple facts. Talk about whats on your plate and not whats on someone elses and never compare the two.

I sampled this charming blend recently. I can safely say that if you are thinking about exploring the world of latakia blends that this would be a great place to start.

The Latakia flavor is there humbly placed to dance with everything else. Its not strong at all. You could smoke it all day while doing any task. It is indeed mild and yet distinctly flavorfull. There is a sweet note to this which cannot be explained as there is no caseing listed in this blend. It simply could be natural sugars from the virginia peaking out but I simply have my doubts. But it is so soft its not worth arguing over weather or not if this is an aero. Its simply not worth the effort to go into.

There was also a slight hint of a cocoa flavor there somewhere on several puffs. So much so that on the next few puffs I struggled fervantly to isolate it again on my palate which I could not do. As I put my mind away from it and went back to the book I was reading it came back very very subtley. So I can say this that this blend has some nice mild nuances that will leave you curiously pleased through out the bowl.
