Sutliff Tobacco Company Burley Delight #212

Very nice smoke. The Burley and the chocolate flavoring are delicious. The chocolate is lightly done. The Virginias add a nice sweetness, but can sting at times. No bite, but a light sting. For those who are really susceptible to bite you may have some trouble with this one. Medium bodied with medium flavor.

MacBaren owns Sutliff. This blend is so similar to MacBaren's Burley London Blend that it makes me wonder if they aren't the same. Just a thought. Both are available in bulk with the Sutliff version 45 cents per ounce cheaper.

Sutliff Tobacco Company - Burley Delight #212.

On appearance #212 looks like a medium brown, fairly robust, blend of ribbons. 'Robust' as in most of them are medium in size, but there are a few twigs, and some pieces identifiable as being broken flakes. It smells lightly flavoured.

The aromatics are only a mild appurtenance, I get neither too much chocolate sweetness, or any rich dark chocolate bitterness, it gives only a delicate note. Where the tobaccos are concerned the Burley gives far more character than the Virginia. The Virginia isn't 'lost', but a lot milder; it gives a slight sweetness which marries up with the chocolate note nicely. The burn from #212 has mostly pros, but one con. Pros: even, consistent, fairly cool. Con: way too fast.

The room-note: pleasant to tolerable. Nicotine: medium.

If it weren't for the burn this would get a full score, but because of the speed a star gets deducted. Three stars:

Recommended.

This is a burley without a lot of fanfare - I mean that in a good way. A good tobacco that reminds you of slowing down and to enjoy what pipe smoking ought to be- A kick back relaxing experience. Great even burn to the end. I didn't pick up on the noted flavors but I didn't need to. It was just a good burley smoke. Earthy and grounded just like it smelled when I broke open the jar. Burns down clean and pretty fast - even when nursing it. This is a no frills good smoke. When you want to shelve the aros and drop the latakia, this may be a nice retreat to a good ole smoke.

Burley Delight is another one of many ordinary nutty, woody, earthy burley blends. A condimetal amount of Virginia tobacco is present. It’s natural sweetness works well to smooth out any harshness. I also sense notes of chocolate and vanilla. Thankfully they do not overwhelm the burley. This blend works best when smoked slowly.

This might be best described as a Prince Albert "light." It Is slightly milder in terms of strength and a little less edgy when puffed. It is a mellow/smooth smoking experience. I get nutty burley and a mild cocoa in terms of taste.

The smoking experience is pleasant but not very exciting. I find this to be an excellent smoke in the car for the commute.

This stuff quickly dries out in the pouch, so keep an eye on hydration.

This is one of those things that could have been a classic "all-day" pouch blend. It is good, and might be a great choice for someone looking for reliable and not too complex.

Bought 2ozs of this looking for a summertime all day smoke. Loads and lights easily. Burns cool. Good Burley upfront with sweetness of Virginia in background. Very light cocoa/chocolate. Nice blend and will recommend for Burley lovers. Got this and revelation at same time and like revelation better for what I'm looking for.
