Sutliff Tobacco Company Alexander Bridge

I have had this tin on my shelf for 5 years. The vanilla toppings likely deteriorated somewhat. Rum is still prevalent along with sweet citrus of the Virginia tobacco. It burns nice and cool and enjoyable.

A very nice tasting light aromatic. I get the Virginias foremost with a little Burley in the background. The topping is light and tastes like vanilla and apricot with some fainter notes I can't quite identify. My first thought on the topping was apricot brandy, but I'll just go with apricot. I can't always trust my first thought. I wish it were a little more pronounced. It's a very pleasing smoke.

Mild in body. Mild in flavoring. Mild to medium in taste. Burns well straight from the tin. No bite.

Good tin note, good room note. Easy to pack, nice initial light, easy to stay lit. Flavor is OKAY (for me, YMMV), but not great. I have to be careful, crosses over into the hot zone easy, and then some bite... But, nothing out of the ordinary for most aromatics. In short - good, but not enough to recommend itself over some of my favorites.

Got a free can in the mail. It tastes great, the only problem I have with it is that it's so lite I smoke it to fast and get bit. I did have some McClelland Darkest Chocolate that I found would not burn without a fight, I mixed it one to one with Alexander Bridge. Turned out to be a great mix. Think I'll keep some on hand.

Typical Sutliff aromatic. Low grade tobacco sauced to death and drowned in propylene glycol.

Perhaps it's shite like this that the FDA will clamp down on.

Private Stock only means you get to pay more for this fancy-canned glop than the standard fare Sutliff garbage.

Absolutely not recommend. CDM Jr.

Rotten fruit, low grade tobacco, propylene glycol and plenty of gurgling: If that is what you like, then enjoy! I tend to avoid tobaccos that leave a goop in the bottom of the bowl and even create moisture on the rim of the bowl. I tried seven different bowls of the this stuff in a few different pipes. I waited weeks between smoking it. This stuff is outright garbage. If you try it and think it is good, then you really need to spend a couple of extra dollars and get a tin of quality tobacco from the hundreds of other blenders and marketers out there. Sutliff advertises like mad. You know a lot of their budget must go to that. At the same time, they charge almost as much as a much better quality tin. If all tobacco tasted and smoked like this, I would never smoke again. Garbage! Aweful, sickly-tasting sewage, rotten fruit and garbage tobacco marry together to leave the most unpleasant taste in the mouth this side of a swisher sweet or other drug store quality tobacco product. There is stuff that is actually less expensive and much better from Peter Stokkebye, Lane, the bulk jar at your local brick and mortar etc....... OMG!

Strange mixture of a few things here. Grassy and lemon-y topped with seemingly Cavendish vanilla and maybe a bit of rum, then an odd oriental taste of Latakia back-finish similar to Edward G. Robinson by Sutliff, though a little more flat. I might let this one age a few years before coming back to it. Moderately unimpressed right now. Almost reminds me of a blend of D40 Vanilla or Brandy Alexander by Sutliff with Peterson Early Morning. Not very complex but a bit muddled and confused, though borderline intriguing. Worth a try.
