Sutliff Tobacco Company Golden Age
(2.69)
Notes: From Pipes&Cigars website: Golden Age combines a variety of hand-selected Virginias, chosen for their sweetness, along with a nice share of Acadian Perique to create a blend with a rich fruitiness and an undercurrent of spice.

This was a an enjoyable Va/Per for me. The Virginia was sweet and hay like, yet still robust without being overpowering. The Perique added a nice bit of spice to the blend. Best of all, this wasn't a tongue scorcher like most Va/Per blends I've tried. Had great burn qualities. One relight after char and burned to a fine white ash. I burned through this tin in a few days.

Not a bad tobacco by any means, yet still a tad mild. Tin note is lovely, bright va's, perique, and unprocessed cocoa. I think the perique is what stands out here, even though I would have expected the va's to be front and center. This is not a jab at the blender, as I like perique, and I think it helped make this a cohesive blend with non-competing flavors. The va's, as I noted, were not very strong but they were smooth and ever so citrusy. Paired with the raw funk of the perique and I think they did a fine job at a good balance. Mellowing out the background was the cavendish, while the orientals and burleys wandered off. Couldn't catch those, but didn't seem to miss them. Bowl got hot and waxy near the end, which is strange, I must say, but altogether a decent tobacco. It works, but it needs something bold and flavorful, read that as tobacco and not casing/topping.

7-Pleasure, satisfaction; 9-Top note, slip stream aroma, sipping the embers; 8-Delivery, balance, flavor profile; 9-Blend composition, quality; 8-Pack, relight, room note. As my real first perique I enjoyed the mild peppery presence. On a tight pack got mild N note. For me I prefer over the much stronger Elizebethan (which is of course a quality blend). This is a wonderful Vapers, as advertised, just not for me. 2 1/2 Stars for now.

I tried this one on a whim and i soon found out i don't like perique forward blends, or light english types for that matter. This blend would probably be really good to me if it had about 15% latakia added to it. I threw it in my "mystery english" blend to be beefed up with some blenders until palatable.

While very light on the Perique, this is a pleasant enough, slightly sweet smoke. For me, though, it just smokes a bit too much on the hot side to earn three stars, but I generally agree with Virginialover's review.

I really like the mix of Burley, Virginia, and Cavendish, but I don't taste any Perique, for some reason. While I've never had Elizabethan, I can compare Golden Age favorably with Dunhill Royal Yacht, although Golden Age is slightly milder than Royal Yacht.
