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.

The Virginia is grassy, citrus sweet, and acts as the base for the other tobaccos. The perique is more plum and raisin than pepper, always noticeable without dominating. Lightly sweeter than Dunhill Elizabethan as made by Murray's and less spicy, it's also missing the lemon Virginia lakes that DE had. The nic-hit is mild. Won't bite or get harsh. It burns at a reasonable pace, cool, and clean with a very consistent flavor. Needs few relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. Can be an all day smoke. Sold in bulk as Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture Match.

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.

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.
