Sutliff: Blacksburg Pipe Tobacco

The first third of the bowl I can almost get the plum notes I read about. Then... nothing. Not for me.

Quite nice; imagine Rattray’s “Dark Fragrant” sans Perique with the addition of satisfying casing.
This is quite nice.
Clean burning, neither goopy nor wet.
I don’t often smoke aromatics or prefer them, but this is a special, figgy, fruity (I get blackberry and/or raspberry in the room note) smoke when I want it. Never have detected any rum though.
Moderate in sweetness, mild in nicotine, this is the driest aromatic I have ever seen.
Easy to light and smoke, the room note is delicious....Read More

This has been one of my favorite sutliff blends so far. It is a tobacco for those who enjoy a subtle sweet aromatic. It has no bite, burns well and keeps its flavor. It has a taste, and aroma of raisins, figs, and dried plums. This will be in my rotation from now on.

I find this blend mildy sweet and fruity. It smokes well without drying for me and doesn't bite, even if provoked. Not messy at all.

No tongue bite. No relights. No flavor. Just buy a plain black Cavendish. This is not BCA, Aged Maduro Cavendish or Super Value Black Cavendish. You'll have to mix it with something else to use it.
