I recieved a tin of this in the mail and decided to wait until others had reviewed it before adding my "2 cents". This, to me, seems to be a mild to medium blend of good taste and character. Upon opening the tin, I found the tobacco to be at a good moisture level. I would call this a Latakia blend instead of an English blend due to the Burley content. This blend loaded and lit with no difficulty at all. Once burning, I had no problem keeping this lit with just the modicum of tamping. I could find no fault in strength, flavor, or room note. Some Burley blends bite my tongue, but I experienced no bite with this. I also had no problem with moisture. This left a gray ash and a dry pipe. This is not as "heavy" as some of the Latakia blends I smoke, but this is a nice change of pace, quite possibly a good "first pipe of the day". Quite possibly a blend for the beginner or the aromatic smoker wanting to try Latakia blends. Maybe not the finest blend around, but this deserves a spot in my rotation.

I like a good english and this was a nice addition to my list of blends. I find this one to be a smooth and lightly flavored mixture that will allow for all day smoking.
I found it easy to pack and takes to a light easily.
The flavors a subtle and light. its a good choice for a smoker who would like a simple blend.

Tin note of sour smoky, spices and sweet fruit. Tobacco is a ready rub, ribbon and course cut of tan, brown and black. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of sour smoky incense, floral hay, tart and tangy citrus, spices, dark fruit, dry, slight nutty, woody, bitter orange peel, sugar, savory, toasted bread, a lemon and peaty grass background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Burley and Virginia supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

Sutliff Tobacco Company - Blend No.5.
With 50g tins of this size I'm always worried that the blend's going to be bone dry when I remove the lid, but when I took the lid off this what I was met by looked great: 50% black, 50% brown, and the moistness was exemplary.
Anyway, how's it smoke? Well, it's a lot sweeter than most English's, and the Latakia isn't anywhere near as harsh; a tasty addition, but not a tough bully. The Burley plays a notably sized role, and gives the blend a nutty background flavour. The Virginia works well with the sweet Latakia as this gives a bready/doughy note. Blend No.5 burns decently, giving a fairly cool, bite-free, smoke.
The nicotine's milder than the usual English's, and the room-note's quite pleasant.
Although No.5 gives a nice smoke, I won't highly recommend it as it's a bit tamer than what I would normally go for in an English blend.
Still, recommended!
Three stars.
