This Duke is a King
March 08, 2021
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Great Burley & Virginia blend that burns cool & satisfies with a great tobacco flavor & aroma. IMHO, it’s not truly a match for the Prince ... but me thinks it’s better. When you get tired of the hoopla of the boutique blends ... settle d... Read More

The Duke is a Prince
February 18, 2020
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
I really like this match of Prince Albert. It's become my go to smoke around the garage and yard when I'm working. It that good smoke to puff on without having to think or analyze what I'm smoking.
The Duke is Delightful!

Pleasant, unobtrusive, tasty, satisfying. Easy to pack, easy to light, easy to enjoy!
Update: I picked up some of the Prince to try in contrast. The Duke is sweeter, more nutty and more cocoa, better room note to my nose. The Prince is drier and s... Read More

Excellent supreme Tobbaco

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
I am totally surprised, I bought 2 oz when price Albert was no longer available. I was so glad I tried this, I now have over a pound of it and will buy another . It has much higher quality tobacco than the prince , longer cut, ribbon cut.

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Not identical to its namesake, of course, but here in my palace even a Duke rates as royalty. Can stand in for the Prince rather admirably. Possibly nuttier, but I have no world-class palate. Both my thumbs are up - and that's just the tobacco - f... Read More

Very Fine Smoke

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
I found this to be a comfortable all day smoke. stays lit, a touch of tongue burn but not much, nice aroma. Pretty good stuff.
Mellow, easy smoking burley
June 12, 2023
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
My first sample of Duke Albert was unexceptional, so it went into a jar for a month. After letting go of some moisture, the Duke was dry and light, super easy to pack, and even better to smoke. This should be every first time smoker's first bowl of t... Read More
obacco. It's nutty and sweet and tasty, super gentle and agreeable, and very easy to smoke. It burned nice and clean with just a few lights. You won't be disappointed in Duke Albert. Full disclosure, I have never smoked Prince Albert, but I can't imagine it could be more enjoyable than this. Read Less
It grows on you

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
This is a great codger blend. I've never had the pleasure of smoking Prince Albert, but I am enjoying this blend. At first, I didn't care for it. However, I was just starting out as a new smoker and admittedly I didn't know how to pack and puff corre... Read More
ctly. Now I enjoy a bowl of this now and again. I must say that I don't care for the tin note. It has a funky smell. It, like few others, tastes better than it smells. I recommend it to new smokers. Read Less
Delightful

Incredible room note, savory mouth feel. Like Virginia, but somewhat sweeter. Really nice blend. My goal is to try every tobacco blend in the world, so probably won't buy again, but enjoyed this one a lot.
Nice Mellow "American"
January 28, 2023
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Not very "aromatic", which in this case seems like a plus. Mellow, ever so slightly sweet Virginias, curiously floral burleys. Not much aromatic topping present, certainly not enough to act as a flavoring or sweetener on the tongue. Very cl... Read More
assic tobacco taste. Smokingpipes rates it 3-1-3, and I agree the room note can be rated 1, but the strength is not. 3 and neither is the taste. I'd make this one a 2-1-2. It's a good all day mixture, great room note. Read Less
Nice Simple Blend

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Nothing fancy about it but a nice, satisfying smoke none the less. Burns well, no tongue bite, no fuss.
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
A nice, sweet, slow burning blend of coarse and ribbon cut components. Regardless it's namesake, it's a good smoke and maybe better than the other Albert. Pleasurably sweet and tasty without bite and plenty of rich smoke, it's a fine all around blen... Read More
d, unpretentious, and easy to like. I've only smoked three large bowls in a Peterson B42 but I was taken by it immediately. If you enjoyed PA, you should be right at home with this one but may like it better. Good moisture content, easy lighting, slow burning and very enjoyable Read Less
The Price is dead, long live the Duke!

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
So if you smoke and like Prince Albert, you need to try this one, it's smoother, smokes cooler and has all the flavor and aroma, but in the end it's just better.
nothing royal about it

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Honestly I didn't really care for it. For an aromatic it's very bland. Nicotine level is extremely low and it didn't even smell that great.

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
I had to let mine dry out a bit before giving it a second try and am glad I did. As many other reviews have noted it pairs well with one’s morning coffee. I’ve never had the original so nothing to say about how it may or may not compare. Without dryi... Read More
ng it out I don’t enjoy it. Putting a wind cap on a full bowl and letting it sit overnight though does wonders. I still feel Pegasus is king of the codger blends but wish it had the cocoa topping like this does. I’ll be purchasing more to cellar. Thanks to smoking pipes for the very quick standard delivery.

Surprisingly good

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Exceeds expectations. Great Virginia/Burly mixture with slight aroma, can compete with more expensive blends. Nutty, earthy, woody and sweet. Good stuff, recommended.
Good substitute for the Prince

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
While not an exact replica, this blend does have a similar taste and aroma. The cut is all over the place with long ribbons and my sample came with huge chunks of uncut leaf… satisfying and consistent flavor with a very nice price!

A very ordinary pipe plant, formulated with Virginia and Burley tobacco fermentation, with moderate humidity. The awakening time is about 5 minutes, and after ignition, the flavor of Burley tobacco is significantly stronger than that of Virginia, wit... Read More

What an American classic should be
September 18, 2023
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
A simple rich and earthy tobacco, plain-Jane but full-bodied, this is what I have imagined the old-time American tobaccos as. Unfortunately, the classic American pipe tobaccos tended to be over-adulterated products that masked, queered, and shoved as... Read More
ide the natural flavors of their tobacco. I have not had Prince Albert, so I can not compare this tribute to its inspiration, but as for Duke Albert, I smoked nearly a dozen bowls before I noticed that there was a mild cocoa flavored toping to the blend. Just as it should be, the additive blending right into the tobacco, only providing a mild accent to the natural goodness of the dried leaf. This is a good benchmark for what a solid unpretentious and un-fussy pipe tobacco should be. I prefer my smoke a little more fussy, a little more hipster, maybe even a little more pretentious than this, but do I have a stash of Duke Albert and do I pack a bowl or more of it every fortnight or so? Yes I do, because Duke Albert is an unquestionably good and solid smoke. Read Less
Not dissapponted

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
The Duke just arrived yesterday. Ordered it based on positive reviews. Exactly as described. After 3 bowls, Not overpowering, but an easy puffing all-day smoke. Quite satisfied with this level of royalty. Will add this to my go-to tobaccos.
Great for blending too!

It’s like J-4 burley mixed with a decent Cav. VA.
Enjoyable Burley blend

Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
Arrives somewhat wet and a bit goopy on the fingers. The tobacco is medium to long ribbon cut.
Bag aromas of chocolate and nuts. Some booze is detected as well.
The pack is easy. I prefer to smoke it still somewhat moist and pack it in clumps while... Read More
twisting them into the pipe. Lighting is easy and there are no troubles keeping it lit. Some relights are required but otherwise it just keeps going.
Initial flavors of the topping are booze, chocolate and vanilla. The toppings hang around for the first half but do fade to a quiet nuance. This is best sipped slowly to keep the flavors going or it will burn ashy. The second half of the smoke is slightly nutty Burley and some cocoa. The toppings are a whisper at this point for me.
The chance of bite is low but it can tingle a bit if pushed. There is not much moisture at the end and the ash will burn to a fine white, grey colour. Overall, this is a good old school blend but for my taste there are better. I do recommend this to anyone looking to find a simple Burley based blend with a nice non dominating topping. Read Less
A Trip Down Memory Lane
March 03, 2021
Product: Sutliff Duke Albert Bulk
I smoked the original Prince for a number of years in the 70's. As soon as I opened the bag it brought back memories. It may not be an exact match, but close enough for me.
The Duke is better than the Prince

Great match, except I find it more appealing. Higher quality Tobacco than Prince Albert
