I received a healthy sample of this back in October and just recently finished it. It was kind of a weird type blend to me. I can honestly say when I lit it up and through the first quarter of the smoke I just did not like it at all, It just had kind of a weak off taste to me. Kind of a mix of strange chemical and hot air taste.
As I got into the middle third of the smoke it started to taste really good; delivering the flavors one would expect from an American English. Very earthy and nutty sweet with a decent amount of latakia smokiness. If the whole bowl tasted this good than this would be a four star blend to me, but it didn't. As I entered the last quarter of the bowl it kind of went to boring as if the flavors I was getting before had just disappeared and were replaced by a boring monotonous watered down version of what I was experiencing before. I don't think that Sutliff lists a topping on this blend, but what I experienced seemed to be indicative of a topped blend. I am putting extremely mild as flavoring merely on a hunch, but don't know for sure whether there is a topping.
It is odd and maybe it is just me, but I have not had this experience with other American English blends that I have smoked. On the objectivity of would I recommend this, I would say no, but what I tasted in the middle of this smoke was too good to warrant a single star review. However, I would also recommend Sutliffe's own Lord of the manor or their revelation match over this blend. But I did like it better than R Blend and Man's best friend.
Overall, I am leaving this with two stars and a somewhat recommended and probably will not reorder.
