Sutliff Tobacco Company Match Troost Aromatic Cavendish

Presently the discussion now brings us around to a representative sample of this very replication endeavor. Entering for consideration is one Match Troost from the Sutliff Tobacco Company. Engendering the spirit of its literal namesake, this mixture of assorted varietals is designed to render a comforting celebration of a traditional Dutch Cavendish styled production. Inspired as a competing match to the very dated and now discontinued Van Rossem original, mild natured Match Troost encompasses a combination that brings lightly top-coated Virginia dominance and complementing Burley bundled with the accenting of Turkish/Orientals. Of primary note is the presence of an obliging caramel flavoring threaded with a few other inveigling embellishments.

Sold as a bulk packaged tobacco, Match Troost shows a drier, grainy, and roughly course cut configuration with considerable pilings of micro dust particles. A multi-toned shading of general tans and browns casts a modest and unassuming presentation. What is more, the pouch nose is encountered as extremely slighted, projecting a lower scented magnitude of non-distinct character, mostly registering only as a delicate native earthiness and vague diluted sweetness.

My trial assessment revealed Match Troost to be an exceptionally weaker positioned aromatic alternative. With a standard character that followed a less than average performance, candidly, I must express that I experienced its attraction as particularly uneventful and meagered in distinction; hope that does not sound mean. However, in redemption of that stern natured assessment, I would suggest that what really pulls more strongly into the registerable profile is the influence of the Red Cavendish with the inconsequential encouragement from all other recipe ingredients. As such, the blend presents a fair to middling appeal in terms of its overall taste. Speaking in more simple terms, this mixture poses an ordinary and sweetly airish temperament in lieu of being imaginatively committed.

Essentially the top noted featuring does properly center a pleasing darker toasty caramel note, however, its impact is rather turned down, relegated to a categorically neutral intensity. Building upon the shy pleasantry of this lead dressed element nevertheless is the confluence of some fainter sugary honey and occasionally the distinct influence of a creamy butterscotch-like annotation that enriches the trailing finish of the flavor. I did sense that there is possibly some inkling of an alcohol additive hiding within given the experienced bite and the persistent hissing that the smoking consistently provoked. In sum, not an overly assertive coated flavoring on the whole, but perceivably interesting to some perhaps.

As noted, basically Match Troost offers a full expression of an adventure in Red Cavendish as its standing registerable character. Mostly the comprising Virginian strains project a general cultured tangy citrus that lies dominantly in the forward band, garnished with a little grassiness that is not overly bright in complexion. Still, there is an essential push of some tamer zest and darker fruit wooded coloring that culminates the comprising personality of this Virginian stream. Nice and normally likeable in short.

Regarding the gently soured Burley, its backing lends some standard earth tones and spicy body with tracings of sugary nuttiness along the rear bottom of the taste sphere. Whereas the Turkish/Oriental entertains a bit of complementing musty floral nuancing but nothing too extraordinary in stature. In terms of its overall occurrence, the native rendering is basic and essential to the blend’s persona but not especially distinguished in the rankings.

What is more, I discovered the ensuing room note evoked by its expenditure to be principally favored toward a softer tangy grass that was classically minimal in depth and witnessable strength. Furthermore, this unfortunately cheated essence seemed to dissipate quickly by all considerations. Yet, Match Troost’s humbled fragrance could be labeled as appreciably tolerant to pleasant all the same . As to the critique of the tobacco’s mechanical functioning, this blend does tend to elicit a minor degree of discomfort upon the palate, which may detract from its received attractiveness. In addition to that reductive attribute, Match Troost does carry some curtailing roughness in its texture, which only served to lessen the smoking experience. And finally, the smoke plumage produced was normally lighter in body as the tobacco fought at times to control its desire to escalate in temperature.

All in all, I will not speak to its equivalency to the popular Van Rossem created original but based upon the objective evaluation of Match Troost on its own merits, yeah sorry my good Sutliff, this one regrettably fell disappointingly short based upon the noted specifics. On a more positive comment, I did mix this blend with a portion of Lane’s BLBW and Sir Walter Raleigh Regular and the results were much more encouraging. Essentially the caramel influence, as guarded as it was, seemed to provide a nice relishing quality to the union of that specific homegrown mixing. And remember, in a world full of copycats, be original as you can. So, there you have it my fellow pipers! 2.0 Pipes.
