Sutliff Tobacco Company Mild Burley J4

(2.50)
A natural blend of 100% Burleys long cut, great taste and aroma. A soft, no-bite experience for the traditional Burley smoker.
Notes: Sutliff Burley (J4) is the very definition of an all-day blend. It's a mellow ribbon-cut Burley with a smooth casing to counteract the typical Burley harshness and a pleasantly soft top note of vanilla. You'll get real tobacco flavor that's enhanced, not masked by the flavoring. The aftertaste is gentle, and the room note is enjoyable without being heavy. This compares nicely with OTC Burley blends but costs a lot less. If you want a go-to blend that you can enjoy anytime, you've found it.

Altadis gets dissed a lot and for some blends they deserve it but they have many good ones as well. I just smoked 2 oz of this blend this week and i have to say it's one of the best straight burleys I have ever smoked and I have smoked a lot of them. Simply put, if you like a cool burning, creamy nutty flavor that can very easily be an all day smoke, then you must try this one. In the pouch it is a mix of colors from light khaki to dark brown cut in a ribbon cut and rather thin. It smells rich and natural in the pouch and it does need to dry a little but after drying it packs very well into the pipe and smokes nice and slow and cool all the way down. It will smoke all the way down too leaving a dark gray ash and very little dottle. The room note is very pleasant, I never got one complaint from the war wagon on this one. The smoke is very creamy and nutty and goes fantastic with coffee or tea. This would be a great mixer with other tobaccos though i did not as I enjoyed it straight too much to try. I will be buying more of this blend to keep on hand and I highly recommend trying it if you are a burley fan.

It is moist right out of the pouch, so I would recommend some drying time. It's great on it's own or as a blender. Cool smoke, nice nutty flavor. Also has a slight hint of vanilla. It only took one light after the char and burned down to ash.
Pipe Used: Missouri Meerschaum cob, hardwood, Italian Briar.
PurchasedFrom: pipesandcigars.com
Age When Smoked: Fresh out of bulk ziplock bag.

I hate drugstore aromatics like Capt Black and the likes thereof. When I gave up trying to enejoy my first briar with CB I went to Carterhall and said. Now thats kinda nice.

I too received this as a free sample pouch and gave it a serious tasting while fishing. You know a better way?

I enjoyed this very much. Yeah you're going to have to dry it out over night. But believe me its worth the wait.

Its remains damp in the morning but thats OK really. It keeps the toby burning nice and slow and very cool. So no worries about tongue bite if the taste gets you puffing a lil more than you normally do. Its a very friendly smoke indeed.

I have a bit of a time describing the flavor of this. So read the other posts. Mild vanilla might be a word to throw in here though.

This will be a blend you will find in my home from now on. Its worth having in bulk because the price if cheaper than many of the crap drugstore brands like Capt Black.

Definately a nice smoke if you're into tasty light aromatics.

If it wasn't for the dampness of this blend I'd say this would be a very good toby for new pipe smokers. But maybe a good second step though.
