Sutliff: Blend No. 5 1.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-442-0010

Invariably the most demanding and hardest to satisfy smokers are connoisseurs of English blends. As a rule of thumb a blend with a dominant note of Latakia and a secondary note of Virginia succinctly describes an English blend. Characteristically English blends offer a rich natural taste and smoky aroma. However defined, this incredibly cool smoking and rich tasting tobacco fills the bill in spades. Latakia provides a base note and ballast; whereas, Virginia provides constant sweetness. Try Sutliff's Blend No. 5 to see if you agree.

Great place to start if you want a mild English blend. Mellow, cool, mild and easily an all-day smoke. If you are a heavy Latakia lover... stay away :)

Can be an all day smoke for the veteran, and repeatable for the less experienced.

Right in the Balkan Sasieni ballpark!
June 26, 2023
By: Moshe R.
Product: Sutliff Blend No. 5 1.5oz
Somehow I had the impression from other reviewers that this was in the ballpark with Early Morning Pipe. I disagree. For my taste, I see it in the same ballpark as Balkan Sasieni. Which is one of my 'go-to' favorites. Absolutely love this stuff. So much that (a) I shared out more than half my 1st tin with others at my favorite shop (OVTC; Kingstowne VA) AND I am placing an order for several more tins! Great taste; great clouds of smoke; just great for me!...Read More

Tin note of sour smoky, spices and sweet fruit. Tobacco is a ready rub, ribbon and course cut of tan, brown and black. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of sour smoky incense, floral hay, tart and tangy citrus, spices, dark fruit, dry, slight nutty, woody, bitter orange peel, sugar, savory, toasted bread, a lemon and peaty grass background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Burley and Virginia supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Outstanding

This is a very balanced blend. The addition of Burley is really a nice twist on a English blend. The sweetness of the Virginia doesn't overpower. Medium strength but flavorful. Very pleasant smoke.

Sure.

Product: Sutliff Blend No. 5 1.5oz
This is fine. It has some depth and a good flavor, but i wouldnt say its exceptional by any means. Its certainly better than some english blends for me. I think the price point here makes up for its lack in unique character. Maybe it will grow on me later though. This is strictly my opinion of course, as everyone has their own....Read More

Mild, but tasty
September 08, 2019

Product: Sutliff Blend No. 5 1.5oz
...for an English blend. Qualifies as an all day smoke. Not a beast Latakia blend, but it satisfies a lat-bomb aficionado like me when I don't want thermo-nuclear latakia. From tin-note to end of bowl, it's a nice ride. If you're an Aro/VA/VAper looking to dabble on the English side of the divide, I'd recommend it as a cheap entry. If you're a Lat fan on a low budget (raises hand), it's worth a try....Read More

A Decent English
December 31, 2018
By: AT Valleau
Product: Sutliff Blend No. 5 1.5oz
I was looking for a nice, not too stout English blend for my “winter stash”. My taste in pipe tobacco is fairly ecclectic, but these days I am definitely a Va/Per and straight Virginia guy. Still, I also regularly smoke the milder burley-based blends, particularly the so-called “old codger” or otc blends. But for this winter, I really wanted to try some new blends, particularly those from companies I'm not familiar with or have limited experoience with. Plus, I wanted to get some “heavier” blends like English/Balkan blends and some more or less straight burley blends. So, I came across Sutliff's Private Stock series, and Blend No. 5 sounded like a promising cold weather blend. The 1.5 ounces came in a rather large tin. Upon opening, the tin note was largely latakia with maybe a hint of the nutty burley. My tin/pouch/baggie note sniffing abilities are not all that keen. Others may discern more. Tobacco Reviews indicates burley, latakia and Virginia as the component tobacco. The cut is your basic ribbon mixture. It looks like tobacco. The moisture content was fine. I didn't need to dry it at all. It loaded and lit up easily enough with plenty of smoke from the latakia. The first taste I got was certainly the latakia. The latakia has the driver's seat in this blend, in my opinion, but it is not a reckless driver. I don't care for “lat bombs”. I mean, Pirate Kake is just too much for my tastes. I'd say the most latakia-forward blend that I really enjoy is GLP Quiet Nights. Love the stuff! It's so well balanced. Blend No. 5 probably has less latakia than Quiet Nights, and as the bowl progresses I was able to taste the nutty burley and a bit of sweetness and maybe some hay from the Virginia. All three components show up and the blend is pretty well balanced. But the latakia is the primary player here, I think. All in all, this is a good blend that is mild enough to be an all day smoke for some, and perhaps a good introductory blend to those looking to try out English style blends. I think Blend No. 5 is good and is worth giving a try. I recommend it and may very well buy more....Read More

The virtual twin of Dunhill's Early morning Pipe at a much lower price. Do try it.
