Sutliff Tobacco Company Match Victorian
(3.21)
A Sutliff match of the legendary Murray's (after it was branded for some time by Dunhill) now discontinued Elizabethan Mixture. It is a well combined blend of Virginias with perique.
Notes: This blend was made as a match for the Murray's production, and not the later Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s re-release of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture.
This blend was formerly known as Match Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture.

I have not yet sampled the current Peterson version of Elizabethan Mixture, nor Murray's, but I feel this tobacco is best judged on its own merits, rather than comparatively. Tin (bag) note is of raisins, very pleasant. Charring light brought forward the perique, whereas the true light brought the virginias into play. It's bready, slightly sweet, slightly sour and tangy, and ever so slightly peppery on the retrohale. No bite, and smokes cool. Personally I found this combination to be simple but delicious, as I'm quite partial to this standard fare for VAPers. Perfect for a sunny afternoon. The price point, as well, is unbeatable, and I'll be ordering plenty more to jar up quite soon. I'm in agreement with many of the reviewers here that this is a great four star blend.

"In some ways, maybe the newcomer to the pipe is more fortunate than we old guys are, since they have fewer lost loves to shackle them."
-- G.L. Pease
With a lifetime supply of tobacco cellared in the hall closet, I have no business spending another penny more on the stuff, but ardent holiday spirits moved me to click on this blend, and I'm so glad I did (I suffer no buyer's remorse).
Having never smoked the original Dunhill Elizabethan Murray’s version, I can only review this blend for what it is.
As soon as I opened the box (with the tobacco still tightly wrapped in a plastic bag) I was immediately struck by the most delectable aromas of plum, fig and chocolate -- it was right there.
Based on some of the earlier reviews, I was expecting a perique pepper bomb, but (curiously) that was not at all the case. While the plum, fig and raisins came through from the perique, I found the pepper profile to be mild-to-medium. I had some difficulty discerning any citrus, grass, or anything real tangy from the Virginias (dark fruit is what prevailed throughout). And though this is perique-forward, I found it to be a wonderfully balanced blend (obviously, it would not be the same experience without those Virginias in the background). Burns nicely; burns cool. Wonderful stuff this is.

One of my go-to tobaccos. I have never tried the real thing but if it's better then I will definitely be putting it in my rotation. A definitive VaPer, sweet and spicy. If you get too excited it will bite. This is a one-light tobacco and one of my favorites.
