Sutliff Tobacco Company Match Sugar Barrel

Let me start by saying that I have never had the original so I have no comparison there. Upon opening the pouch I detected a faint, almost "nougat" fragrance mixed with something a big tangier. That could have been the cinnamon. It packed easy and well in the African block meerschaum I was using for tasting. One light and I was off and running. At first I thought this to be a "bitey" tobacco, like my big headed rescue dog. but, like Big Head, it seems a bit misunderstood. The cinnamon seems to give it a bit of a tang which, if puffed too hard on the lite, can be mistaken for a "bite." There is a "sweetness" to it but it is not the "molasses" which other reviewers have commented on. I am a lover of molasses, usually with my morning sausage, and this is not it. Still, definite "sweet" and "cinnamon." Kinda like a sweet, grassy tobacco. Much better when sipped slowly, My wife informs me that the room note is...not good. Not terrible she says but not good either. I am thinking an outdoor smoke. Something to sip while working my forge, mowing the grass or fishing. Perhaps while just sitting around the campfire. I cannot say that I object to Match Sugar Barrel but I highly doubt that I will be buying more. There are just to many other tobaccos which I like far better. Still I can see where some would like this.
