Sutliff: Cringle Flake 2021 1.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-442-0063

The third installment of Sutliff's highly anticipated seasonal pipe tobacco, Cringle Flake Holiday Edition 2021 is a blend of aged, partially Cavendished Red Virginias and 18-year-old Perique. This incredible holiday mixture presents an exceptional flavor right out of the tin and a deep richness similar in character to a 10-year-old Virginia/Perique. Contributing to that mature flavor, the flue-cured leaf has undergone a unique secondary fermentation process, steamed for one hour before being combined with the aged Perique and pressed. Naturally sweet with spicy, piquant undertones, the result is incredibly complex with notes of stone fruits, earthy spice, and molasses.

Presented with cheerful and seasonally merry tin art with customizable "To:" and "From:" fields, Sutliff's Cringle Flake 2021 is the perfect gift for that special pipe smoker in your life, especially if that pipe smoker is you.

Christmas Pudding
December 06, 2021
Product: Sutliff Cringle Flake 2021 1.5oz
A rich, dark, densely-flavored flake that in the tin, has the fragrance of the classic English Christmas Pudding; spiced raisins/fruit, brandy, pastry and brown sugar. Although it possesses no brandy, the deeply fermented leaf exudes it. The flavor is on par with the tin note; rich, smooth, fermented sweetness with spiced fruit. Though that spice you smell in the tin translates to a very slight black pepper on the retro, and while it can tingle the nose, it certainly isn't a sharp or stinging pepper that one may encounter in younger Perique. The VA is more bready and a bit herbal, but it's incredibly smooth. It's flavor is dark, dense and thick, but surprisingly the body isn't overly heavy. towards the heel it gets sweeter and, for lack of a better word, more 'tarry'. Some don't like that, I do. Nicotine is 2.5 out of 5...Read More

Pretty good stuff. Just bought it. Haven't tasted it. Figured I'd join the hype. -1 star for not being FMC.

Since having tried this a second time, I have been informed by the good folks at Smokingpipes that Cringle Flake is cased in vinegar. That explains everything. Just… Wow. I’m going to cellar both of my opened tins for a year and see what happens, hoping the vinegar settles down. I’ll review them again much later....Read More
Pure Vinegar, with Bubbles
December 29, 2021
Product: Sutliff Cringle Flake 2021 1.5oz
After reading all the reviews here, I am very confused. The tin note ASSAULTS the nostrils with a very strong, sharp, SOUR vinegar, with carbonation bubbles. It smells offensive, like an over-fermented kombucha. And it tastes like salad dressing. Seriously, it’s like dipping a cigar in concentrated balsamic vinegar. It’s just nasty. Hopefully with some time the vinegar casing will die down and I can write a better review....Read More

With some very pleasing to the pallete Virginias and a subtle smoothness from the aged perique, this one's definitely a crowd pleaser.

Magnificent! I only bought 4 tins of the 2020 CRINGLE FLAKE, with 3 tins left...I wished that I had bought more. I snagged the daily limit on this holiday gem, and I'm glad (no regrets). Thank you, Sutliff and SMOKINGPIPES🎄🎁🎅🦌
Nice and Smooth

I do not leave many reviews but this one deserves it. Upon opening the tin you will be greeted with a nice spicy aroma with a subtle sweetness to add to the nuance. On the char light you will get a nice sweet tingle on the taste buds. On the retrohale you will be greeted with a nice sting followed by the lovely flavors or the aged Perique. In my opinion if you do not retrohale this blend you will not pick up everything it has to offer. Only reason I did not give 5 starts is because of the moister level upon arrival. I did have to let it sit for about 45minutes to an hour. Happy smokes and happy holidays everyone!...Read More

2020疫情开始,已经两年了。这个世界的人们和家庭很多都遭遇了不幸以及病痛的折磨。希望这病毒在未来彻底灭绝,也祝愿世界其他国家的烟民们圣诞快乐。当然,评论区看完很悲哀的,我只能说不是所有中国人都像评论区里的某些人一样脑残和SB,抽口烟都能抽出优越感来,太幼稚了,好笑
