Hope It Stays

I don’t write reviews, however I want to say a few things about this tobacco. There have been times I’ve wanted to order this blend, but sometimes it’s out of stock. Last time I ordered both Constellation and Yale Mixture. It’s the Orientals that make this blend different. I hope Sutliff doesn’t discontinue this blend. It is my favorite English blend, but has a room note my wife dislikes the most. It is a smooth blend with no tongue bite. When I first began ordering Old Professor it wasn’t even ranked by Smoking Pipes. Just placed an order and it is now a top 25 best seller. I guess the secret is out. For me it is a perfectly balanced blend. It is my favorite English and will remain so as long as Smoking Pipes keeps it in stock. I’ll order it more than any other English blend. Just keep it in stock!...Read More

One of my favorites, gone. It will be missed.

It sounds like this one might be done for. Which is a shame because it’s one of my favorite bulk tobaccos, and delivers on its name and description. Similar to Nightcap and BlackHouse, but not the same as either.

Tried this off a whim after reading a couple of reviews and very glad that I did. Since receiving it this is all that I have been wanting to smoke. I love Latakia and there is a fair amount in here. Like someone stated if you are looking for a lat bomb no need to stop here it's not that but to me it's just the right amount. I have 8 ounces now and as soon as it returns to stock I will be getting at least 1.5 pounds of this just in case it is going to the chopping block. If you love English blends and want just a simple mild smoke then look no further and get you some. Update got lucky and got 3 lbs for the cellar. I am very happy now....Read More

If I could smoke only one blend of tobacco, it would be this. If you're a fan of good, flavorful English blends, this is for you. A wonderful easy smoke. I buy this one in bulk and always keep it on hand. Great room note too - I get lots of compliments when I'm smoking this tobacco!
Solid Blend

Good blend, but nothing special for me. I would recommend it to new pipe smokers as it is easy to work with and burns beautifully. Taste isn't to strong or complex either, just a solid, simple English blend.
Pretty much what's in my pipe for the last two years

I wrote something here in 2022, and since then that's mostly what I have been smoking. Just a great English blend.

This blend may have just converted me. As a newer enthusiast to the hobby, my journey began with mostly Aromatics, trying English blends here and there...Nothing has left an impression on me like this! Smokes cool and clean! No tongue bite. Perfect with a cup of coffee/glass of Bourbon! If you are having a hard time finding a English blend that you like, look no further...this will knock your socks off!...Read More
Very Mild
May 31, 2024
Product: Sutliff 526 - Old Professor Bulk
Mild to the point of being almost bland. Latakia and Orientals are present but barely. If I had smoked Nightwatch through this pipe I would almost chalk it up to ghost notes. The cut is very shaggy, it would be interesting to try to pack it into a smaller bowl. Nothing bad about it, but not great either...Read More

Old professor has everything I want in an English blend. Great for morning being quite mild but still interesting
