Prepared this blend in a rock cob. No idea if it ghosts a briar or cob. Normal preparation with packing the bowl in the morning and smoking it a couple hours later.
Excellent latakia and Virginia blend. As another reviewer said, great entry into latakia for those who don't want to hit the lat scene at full tilt. Great balance of the flavors. I didn't get any pronounced Turkish in the blend. The burley also hid in the back providing help with the burn without adding aromatic qualities.
This is an excellent tobacco for those who want latakaia but not a strong dose. I could smoke this most of the day without issue and feel satisfied.

The tin note might put off some smokers new to Latakia. As it has a very smoky aroma. The charring light has rich sweetness from the Matured Virgins. On the true light the flavors blended together well. The Latakia was present but subtle. This would be a great tobacco for a smoker just starting to explore English, Turkish and Latakia blends. Also this would be a great all day smoke for the experienced smoker. I would highly recommend picking up a tin.

A very good blend for the summer months, enough taste to satisfy, but not too much to overwhelm. This blend lights well and burns dry to the end of the bowl. Does not require too many re-lights. A lighter English blend with just the right amount of Latakia. Sure to be a regular.

Upon opening this tobacco was not too wet or dry. Lit well and stayed lit for the entire bowl. Not a latakia bomb but I found it to be very enjoyable. Got some sweetness about half way down the bowl. This to me is a very nice blend and will be smoking more of this one.

I find the earthy Burley more prevalent in this than the Virgina, but this may be because I opened the tin over two years ago and forgot about it until very recently. It was a little dry when I came back to it, and consequently smoked a little hotter than it might have otherwise.
It is an OK medium-mild English blend, and for the price it is very good. The Latakia is light, and it is an easy smoke, but not fully satisfying for me. That is, it is not a tobacco I would sit down to enjoy at the end of the day (there is not enough complexity), but one I would smoke when out and about

I'll start by saying that I do like this tobacco, and I would smoke it again. The latakia is creamy and blends well with the VA, almost hiding the VA, but not discounting its' benefits. I'd call this is a good balance, even undercomplicated, in the best sense. This tobacco is about standard moisture for Sutliff's blends, lights easily, and stays lit just the same. While it is smooth to begin with, I think a couple years of age to let those VA's shine a bit would be really fantastic. No sweetness and no bitterness, perfect for my tastes.

Blend Name: Sutliff Field Master
Label: In fox hunting, the quarry, the pack, the field and the field master are all essentials of the hunt. Conversely, this luxurious English mixture has its essentials: Smoky Latakia, Matured Virginias, Rich Burley and Quality Turkish.
Aroma: Smoky and sweet, no artificialness to it.
Taste: Complex, several subtle flavors peak out from time to time.
Room Note: Smoky from the Latakia, but not too much. It's not overwhelming, but still an outdoor smoke for me.
Thoughts: It burns smooth and well. No complaints, but not my cup of tea.
Rating: 6/10
