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've never had the Murrays version of Elizabethan Mixture and probably never will but I'm my opinion I dont think this should have even been called a match. This is a Sutliff product, not a Dunhill. Outside of one or two blends, I dont like Sutliff.
The bag aroma started of like a artificial chocolate topping with some PG like sweetness and vinegar. No tobacco smell at all. Very consistent flavor from beginning to end that is very artificially sweet with a cheap tobacco general flavor. Cant pick up on perique hardly at all. Burns cool and clean with a small amount of bite.
It's just not good to me. Its tastes nothing like a vapor, it's not fulfilling. It's just Sutliff. Very few things from them I even like. Even things that I reviewed as highly recommended I dont even like now. The main exception is Hearth and Home Marble Kake. It tastes nothing like Sutliff. I cant even finish my sample so in the trash it went.

First impression: this smokes like an aromatic, and it's moist like one. I'm not getting any perique. Mostly I taste sweet fruitiness, I think. We'll see what later smokes are like. If the perique doesn't come through I will be disappointed.
Several bowls later: This has definitely grown on me. I can't compare it to Murray's Elizabethan Mixture, which I've never had, and I've not smoked it side by side with Peterson's (Dunhill's) version from STG. I'm still not noticing the perique, but I do like the figgy taste. I am enjoying this and could easily order some more. While it was too moist out of the bag, it dried out nicely, which tells me this is not an aromatic, as I first thought. All in all, a nice and inexpensive blend that I can see smoking, if not all day, then several times a day. Since I smoke outside, I cannot judge the room note. The nic hit is on the mild side, but it is there though much less than STG's EM.
