Sutliff Tobacco Company Erin Go Bragh Irish Whiskey

I’m surprised to see the number of reviews that say this tobacco is a biter. I’m admittedly a pretty heavy puffer and I had no problems. That being said, I was smoking it an old deep meer I have that tends to smooth out the rough edges of a tobacco. I guess I could see how it would bite if you puffed really hard on a cob, for instance.

The flavors are all very subtle - this is not a delectable dessert tobacco so much as a generally pleasant, balanced all-day smoke.

First puff, a strong alcohol taste like a fine brandy tobacco. Second puff, a strong artificial chemical taste. Third puff, amazingly the chemical taste dissipates and the strong liquor fades. The remainder of the bowl tastes similar to Irish Cream. Although the whisky does fade it is still very much present all the way to the end. Fortunately the chemical taste disappears after it rears it's head at the start. The tobacco is very moist and requires drying to smoke properly, however appears to be of a decent quality. A step above the usual Lane Ltd/STG OTC rubbage. Cheers.

Beautifully looking and smelling tobacco in the pouch. It smells sweet, earthy, and just a bit of whiskey-note. Burns well, but can be a bit hot. Smoke is creamy and pleasant, without being too sweet. Flavors of sweet earthy and tobacco leather with just a hint of vanilla. It was a decent smoke, but nothing that really impressed me above other blends, other than the name and the topping used...made me have to buy and try it. Good tobacco to try.

As is my experience with STG blends, the basic taste behind this tobacco is Half and Half. The difference with this blend is that the H&H taste steps back a little and lets the whiskey get a little more attention. It does have a little more oiliness than regular H&H, but it did nothing other than make my mouth feel like an oil slick.

A pleasant aromatic with a good room note and no bite.

This is a great blend in all aspects. It smokes cool, it tastes great, it has a good room note, and the price is awesome! I got it in a sampler from P&C, and I must admit that I really wasn't looking forward to trying it at first. I've never been a fan of whiskey blends because they always burned too hot or tasted like burning charcoal. When I opened the pouch, I was immediately greeted with a mellow whiskey aroma. The tobacco itself was a mixed cut that was densely packed in the pouch. It was at just the right moisture as well - no drying necessary, which is rare for a cheap aromatic. It packed wonderfully into a cob.

It lights on one match. The flavor is rather one-dimensional, but isn't that why you smoke whiskey blends anyway? I got some interesting notes: nuts, wood smoke, a hint of dried fruit, maple syrup. It was a great smoke! I can taste burley in this blend very well. Overall, I would recommend it for anyone looking for a good aromatic that provides a change of pace at a bargain price. I'll keep some around.

If you read the reviews by jiminxx and kinjj and a few of the others, my sentiment are exact to theirs. This is easy to smoke, good mild flavor, easy to light, stays lit. It did not burn my tongue at all like Borkum riff has a tendency to do. But we all smoke differently, so you might not agree with me. I usually smoke english, balkan or old time half and half. This is a nice flavor to change off a bit.

I was not pleased with this blend. On opening the pouch the trademark Whiskey smell was quite pungent indeed as was expected. Having crested a few blends myself with this ideal beverage I was looking for a quick and pleasant introduction to the commercial variety. I dried some and packed an old MM Legend and upon lighting was greeted with an awful soapy Lakeland type flavor that just got worse on top of the tangy finish of Irish Whiskey. This pipe load and one more college try was enough for me to send this pouch to the boiling bin for awfully bad pouch tobacco.

Good tobacco with a medium flavoring, but not too much, as well as the taste. I really enjoy the whiskey. I will have to update this review after I spend more time with this blend.

The whiskey casing is not too strong like so many other whiskey blends tend to be. The taste does tend to fade out toward the bottom of the bowl, but is still noticeable. No bite, which is unusual for whiskey blends. After taste is good. The tobacco burns lites and burns well with few relights. Room note is pleasant. Suitable as an all day smoke.

As an after note, if you haven't tried the Erin Go Bragh cigar, I would recommend them also
