Sutliff Tobacco Company Taste of Summer

Just got a tin of this. New favorite for the summer! light on the pallet makes it a great all day smoke. nice aroma smells like fermented peaches. has a very pleasant taste. cant wait to try some other Private stock blends.

This is a decent aromatic. A little wet when fresh, this blend has a mild aromatic flavoring of peach. The natural tobacco flavors are present, but the over all aromatic-quality (PG) leaves a plastic taste that reminds you that this is an aromatic. That said, this is pretty good for what it is. You get the peach taste in the flavor, as well as a bit of nuttiness. Very mild, with a decent room note. It can bite if pushed too hard, but is otherwise pretty smooth and cool...

This is one of the first tobacco blends that got me really into the pipe hobby. This stuff is good. It has a nice peach flavor to it, it burns good, may need a little drying time. All in all it is a good all day smoke especially during the warmer months. I will probably always have a tin of this on hand to enjoy from time to time.

This was too mild for me. The tin note is amazing but I can barely taste the peach. It is a very mild smoke that doesn't taste bad, but you smoke peach aromatics for the peach flavor.

My experience with this blend, Taste of Summer by Sutliff Private Stock, was a replica of the experience I had with another of their blends in this series; Spinnaker. Both had very strong tin aromas, were wet in the tin, were stuck to the tin bottoms, required prodigious amounts of drying-out time and were somewhat weak smokes when all was said and done. I opened this tin for the alleged Burley content knowing it was an aromatic. Here's how it went. I thought the mixture looked good in a familiar ruddy brown to near black range and then I touched it. Sopping wet, there was no way this tobacco could be smoked in this condition. In the afternoon I set a wad out to dry. Now, let's talk about the odor of this blend. I never grokked anything that resembled peach but did recoil at the shear density of a fruity aroma that affected my nasal linings in a kind of acidic way. I checked on the sample off and on all evening, but neither the wetness nor the overly dense odor declined all that much. I let it sit out all night and most of the morning and early afternoon next day before lighting up. The moisture had come down some and the odor was of an artificial fruit aroma. I wasn't happy with the moisture level but got tired of waiting, I lit up anyway and discovered that this aromatic had an odorant that wasn't going to burn off right away. The entire bowl was affected strongly and it absolutely dominated the upper half of the bowl. It was difficult to detect the base tobacco in the smoke and it didn't emerge until the bottom third. After all that had proceeded trying to get this blend smokeable, you get a mild Burley and Virginia blend with some black Cavendish softening. I emptied the entire tin onto some newspaper, spread it all out and let it dry for three days and nights. Drier and a little more tamed, the base tobacco was detectable in the entire bowl and actually smoked a little better. However, this is a lot of work to go through to enjoy a bowl of tobacco - two stars.

The tin smell of this tobacco is amazing. It is just like peaches. It burns cool with very little to no tongue bite. The taste is undectable. I wanted to smoke a peach tobacco for the taste and there is no taste. Just a smokey smell. I was disappointed with this blend. I thought it would have more flavor. I will not buy another tin of this.

I like both aromatics and english but tilt more to aromatics.Ive been looking lately for a good peach.So when I saw this at my local B&M I snatched it right up. Opening the tin I was overwhelmed by how good it smelled.It was like opening a can of peaches Im not kidding.I was hoping the taste matched the smell.On a scale of 1-5 Id say the smell was a 5 very very strong peach smell...taste 2.NOT because it was bad on the contrary it was a very pleasant smoke.But the peach flavor was extremely mild.I was simply disappointed since I was looking for super sweet.But sweet tooth disappointment aside,it realy is a very very nice smoke.If you want a aromatic that isnt to sweet but still has a nice taste this one fits that bill.
