Voodoo Queen
September 05, 2017
Product: Sutliff 523 Voodoo Queen Bulk
Sutliff Voodoo Queen is a very nice addition to the SmokingPipes catalog. It's not
really an English, as it contains no orientals, yet it fits most closely in that
category.
The pouch note is rich and mellow. The mild grass-to-floral Virginia flake... Read More
blends
beautifully with a toasty/yeasty note from the medium Burley. The smokiness from
the Latakia is detectable, but very minimal at this point. The Perique adds just
a bit of stewed fruit. The mocha note is insignificant in the pouch.
The Virginia flake is more finely-broken than ready-rubbed. It benefits from a little additional rubbing out, which releases more aroma from the flake.
Lighting the blend really wakes up the Latakia, which remains mild by comparison
to a "proper English," but adds a welcome dimension to the well-balanced flavor. The burley is
the stand-out contributor: it makes the smoke seem much fuller and rounder in
flavor than the typical light Latakia blend. The Perique is a supporting player.
The coffee/mocha note seems to come and go now and then, but is not a big component.
It's an interesting blend. A good choice for something a bit different now and again. Read Less

As a disclaimer, I’m more of an aromatic guy so when I first wafted this blend I was thrown off. It has a very natural tobacco smell and not super pleasant raw, the cuts are also way larger than most tobaccos abd honestly, I have never seen a blend w... Read More
ith such large pieces. On an adventurous night I decided to light up a bowl and was more than surprised. First off, it did not burn with the same aroma as I had smelled from the bag. It was s soothing smell, with a soothing smoke, definitely not as harsh as expected. My wife said it smelled like fire wood burning. After a couple more tokes I felt the tobacco hit me pretty hard, harder than any other pipe tobacco I’ve had. In my opinion if you plan on smoking this, which I recommend, do it on a nice evening outside before bed. It pairs very well with a campfire. Maybe it’s something I ate or drank but it definitely had me sitting down the entire time while enjoying it. I would give it a whirl for the price and ignore the negative reviews. This will definitely be kept as a comfortable leisure smoke Read Less

Notes of chocolate with a nice burley body and just enough Latakia to give it a delicious smokiness. Borderline aromatic, but more than enough good solid natural tobacco taste to satisfy me (not an aro fan). More of a ready rub / broken flake than a ... Read More
ribbon. Rub it out a bit more, give it a little time to dry and light it up. I find it’s hard for me to think of anything other than how tasty this is while I’m smoking it. 4 solid stars. Update: moving this to 4.5 stars. It’s grown on me. Yummy. Read Less

I've seen this referred to as an English I guess because of the Latakia and VA....it is surely there full bowl ,but to me,the Perique is this blend's most notable attribute,spicy,pruney,and just a bit of nose and mouth tingle..the VA is bready and no... Read More
ticeable,as is the Burley adding nutty tastes..for me this has low/medium nic hit...I really like this one though..it is a blend I like a few times per month for a reminder of why I like Perique...definitely worth a try for a Perique fan.
Many weeks later now,and,yes...it is better than last experienced...with my morning coffee,this is a great start to the day...deep,rich,good nic hit...the Burley and Perique are playing great together.. still that very slight something there in concert with the obvious Perique/Burley...this is bordering on one of my favorite blends...
Update...my jar is now well over a year old...this stuff ages beautifully..all the flavors have mingled and mellowed to a wonderful mix...Perique and VA most noticeabley...pruney,sweet...this is a great blend i.m.o. I'm glad I stocked this one....greatly recommended.. Read Less

This was one of the first blends I ever smoked when switching over from aromatics. I purchased 8oz. from a different website and it was everything I was looking for. Smokey, saucy, spicy, briny. It was outstanding. I smoked through it in about 3 week... Read More
s. The second time I bought it from the same website it was completely disappointing. It lacked any of the smoke, spice and brine, that the latakia and perique had imparted the first time around and I was left with only the burly and Virginia which gave it no nuttiness or earthy sauce as before. However, I will not give up on this blend and plan on purchasing it again and adding more red Virginia and Perique to it. If you are looking to switch over from aromatics and want to know what Lata kia and Perique add to your smoking experience, this is definitely a great blend. Read Less

Wait for Old Gowrie. Ten time's the smoke! I wanted this one after all the good reviews to be my everyday smoke. I sure don't see in this one how anyone could give it more than 2 stars, any Rattray's blend will blow this stuff away hands down.

sn't overpower at all. The other components add their own characteristic nuance and it all wraps up nicely in something you can smoke all day and not be bored. I ordered a four ounce bag and was sad when it was gone. I'll be setting aside a couple pipes for this blend, that's for sure. It comes at too good a price to ignore for a staple smoke! Read Less

Okay fellow puffers, here is my take on this blend:
*Good pouch note and it packs nicely.
*Burns a bit hot and slow.
*Smokey and very spicy with a hint of sweetness (too much perique for my taste).
*Medium amount of nicotine.
That's all I go... Read More

Aromatic?? Where??
September 22, 2020
Product: Sutliff 523 Voodoo Queen Bulk
I didn't get any aromatic from this blend from the bag nor the smoke. What I did get is tongue bite. One thing I have learned over the years is that a few brands have only one thing in common, and that's a topping or casing that doesn't contribute an... Read More
ything other than tongue bite. What the hell are they using, cheap liquor with corn syrup?? When I received this in the mail I couldn't wait to try it. Once I got the bag open I was greeted buy the smell of just another english blend. No notes of rum, vanilla, chocolate or anything else that's been described in the reviews, just a straight up english. So ok, maybe once I let some dry a bit, maybe it's in the smoke. The charring light bit me like no other tobacco has bit me and only got worse as I struggled through it half bowl and I bowed out, couldn't finish it and I was smoking it in a Peterson Dublin filter with the filter in it!! I can't imagine how bad it would bite in a non-filtered pipe and I don't want to know. I'm gonna cellar it, forget it for a few years and see if there's any improvement, if not, into the trash it goes! Read Less

How to describe this one? It's a somewhat English blend but with some broken Va. flake and some very subtle mocha flavoring that just wafts in and out during the smoke. I like this one quite a bit. It has a very distinct character, burns well, and th... Read More
e flavoring serves as just one more current in a swirling mix of flavors. Maybe not an all-day kind of blend, but we pipe smokers have many moods, and Voodoo Queen is one to keep around when you feel like something singular. Read Less

여타잉글리쉬라인을 즐기다보면 다소 너무비슷해서 서로 벤치마킹한듯하다. 그래서 쉽사리 잉글리쉬라인을 여럿즐기지못하고 비슷하다생각하여 한가지만 즐긴다. 하지만 이연초는 분명 여타잉글리쉬라인하고는 다르다. 먼저 강도가 쎄다. 보통1~5중 잉글리쉬라인은 2~3인데 요녀석은 4이다. 그만큼 강한편이다 그래서 중급이상되는 부류들에게 추천해본다. 두번째로는 다른잉글리쉬라인하고는 덜단맛이다. 그만큼 강도가있다보니 그러지않나싶다. 설명에서는 이연초만있으면 부두... Read More

碎切片状的烟叶裁切相对漂亮,干湿度适中揉开就可以装填,慢火细细品味了一斗,不是一款重L草没有特别强调烟熏和奶味,但因为加入了B草和P草一起压制,使得烟气多了几分坚果咖啡的香气以及微酸水果淳厚的韵味,整体很易于抽吸,是一款平衡好抽的轻L草。

It is deep and rich, burns easy and cool, creamy and mellow, like a smooth burley perique with hints of latakia. For me it was totally amazing. If you are expecting an aromatic, it is not that, just a smooth mellow blend of the consituent elements.

Very pleasant blend. I’m primarily a VAPer fan, and this seems to fall somewhere in between that and a Balkan. Have to admire the blending on this: all the elements are clearly discernible but wonderfully balanced: any more or less of any one would... Read More
break the spell. You get a little nuttiness from the burly, some brown sugar from the Virginia, some spice from the Perique, and some smoke from the Lat. The overall effect - the chord, if you will - is hazelnut mocha, although, this shifts throughout the bowl as the different notes step forward and combine and recede in turn. Towards the end of the bowl, the aroma deepens to something like a dark-chocolate-covered brandy cherry.
I’m particularly pleased with the management of the Latikia: I always *appreciate* Lats but don’t necessarily like them; here, however, there is just enough to impart a deep, chocolatey, mossy aroma, without creating the illusion that one is smoking barbecue sauce.
Mine happened to arrive at a fairly ideal moisture level and is smoking very smooth and dry, though I suspect it would be even a bit better if I took the trouble to rub out the bits of flake. Read Less

in a moderate volume and keep it well mixed. It ages extremely well, and personally I've enjoyed it after around a 6 month stint in a jar in my tobacco box. Also a fair warning, don't let the "raw" smell throw you off! It smokes quite nicely. Read Less
