Sutliff Tobacco Company Kentucky Planter
(2.58)
Soft and aromatic blend of all AAA burleys.
Notes: Prior to 1864, Red Burley was the type of Burley grown in Kentucky. The Civil War was raging and because of a scarcity of seed, George Webb purchased what was available. This new variety, White Burley, proved to be superior and forever changed smoking history. This soft and aromatic blend of all AAA Burleys is testimony to that fact.

I expected a full tasting Burley with a slight aromatic touch. Popping the tin and huffing the tin had me looking forward to firing up a bowl. Well that's where it went downhill, after filling the pipe and a char light I knew this wasn't going to go well. As I got the bowl going the blend was hot and flat tasting, the aroma was alright but it was tasteless. I smoked it in three different pipes and it was the same, even in a Meershaum. I always have some BCA on hand for just this occasion. I ended up at about a 50% mix, then waited a couple weeks for it to marry together. Well that saved the day the BCA sweetened up the Burley and slowed the burn rate down. It still starts out a little hot but settles down quick. The BCA is the dominant tobacco, it burns clean and has a pleasant sweetness, As for Planter by itself, you can forget about it!

This tin was obtained as a sample from this year's Chicagoland pipe show. For this review, a Peterson Donegal 106 Rocky was used.
I'm not partial to aromatic pipe tobaccos. However, I do give them a try once in a while so as to better "educate" myself. I'd like to be able to provide some sensible suggestions should one ask me for my recommendation. I try not to be bias, and I do try keeping an open mind and rate aromatic blends for what they are.
Upon opening the tin, one can detect an aroma which registers to be something like vanilla. The Moisture level was okay, and the tobacco packed well. Strength is not present in this tobacco. Finishing the entire bowl was an agonizing task as the taste was so bland. The tobacco did burn well, all the way down to the bottom of the bowl. I had to relight only once, but that was due to smoker's error.
So far, in the Sutliffe aromatic line, there is only one blend I can recommend, this definitely is NOT it.
As the first reviewer of this blend, I was hoping to write a good review. However, it is what it is. I am NOT RECOMMENDING this at this time.
