This 2-yr.-old tin, which I got on ebay for $4, has been one of the nicest little surprises in my pipe-smoking life. The other "Tastes of" blends (Summer, Spring, whatever) sold but this one kept getting relisted. Thought I: how bad can it be for $4?
Gents, ya' can't just go by reviews here. TOA was rated a 2.5 when I tried it. The tin note is strong chocolate with a vinegary pungency characteristic of aged Virginia. The smoke is wonderful, full of taste; enough nicotine to validate the blend for me but not a nicotine bomb. Amazing--how something can taste so different than the tin note. TOA's poor reviews mean that it doesn't sell for much on fleabay, even when well aged. Very impressive smoke. And I no longer mind the tin note.
I think reviews of Sutliffe blends suffer in part because of the Altadis connection. But in 2013, Altadis sold its pipe tobacco operations to Mac Baren, which included Sutliff, A&C Peterson, Benjamin Hartwell and more. I have no doubt that these blends will only improve now under MB.

Pumpkin and a creamy Nutmeg seem to dominate this aromatic. Excellent room note and flavorful dense smoke. Well rubbed out and easy to pack and light. Burns well once lit but took a couple of tries. As the tin progresses, it dries a bit and lights more easily. This is a pleasant smoke and fits the cool autumn season very well. A recommended change of pace.
