Not my favorite blend but it fills the space between aromatic and virginia / burley. Does have a marshmallow flavor which is a bit odd for me but it isn't bad.
Favorite Aromatic right now

Seems like a controversial blend, I’m not a big fan of aromatics but this one hits the spot especially this time of year
good to go.

Package note of chocolate, spices, and earth. Tobacco cut is a mix of cube, course, flake chucks, and a few ribbons. The tobacco is mostly brown, with a little tan and black. Moisture content is ok, some may prefer to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights once lit. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of vanilla and sweeter. Both are up front in the beginning but settle down in the background after a few minutes. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of toasted wood, very dry, slightly spicy, mildly sweet nuts, floral/herbal, molasses, spice, lemon grass, earth, bitter dark fruit, a brown sugar background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Cavendish and Virginia supporting. Latakia fills in when needed, and Perique is supposed to be here, but represented at all. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Very soft, smooth, light English with a hint of sweet casing. No bite! Give it a try you will love it!šŸ˜‹

The people who love it seem to love it, but I am not one of those people. Very strange artificial flavor to me.
Classic blend

Really enjoyed this American/English blend. Great old school aroma and as a match I would say its done well! Topping is light but there and ads depth I think. Solid daily smoker.
Great Holiday Escape!

This is one of my favorite smokes. I just wish it had a tad more vitamin N, so I usually add a little dark burley or 5 Bros. in order to kick it up a notch. I think the old Holiday Excursion tin with the ship logo was one of the coolest designs in pipe tobacco manufacturing, along with the Granger "pointer" dog....Read More
Glue, Cellulose and Bland/Fake Sweetener

I've tried so many of Sutliff's offerings, and all but one have been bland, and artificial in taste. This one in particular, tastes similar to chewing on paper... remember back in grade school when you chewed on paper to form spit balls? Well, this tastes similar. Overly moist, cellulosic, glue and a bland and fake sweetener exists. It's really a shame because Sutliff isn't using bad leaf. It's the blender, and methods... they're ruining bad leaf. The only positive is the cut... I really like the rough cut....Read More

I have been smoking Holiday for awhile (matter of fact I am smoking some right now) and IMHO, I deem it an English Aromatic.There is something just a bit different about it than my other favorites, which are more expensive English and Balkin blends. I keep a supply on hand, one of only two aromatics in my rotation. No question; I could smoke it all day. Worth trying if you are looking for an aromatic that doesn't smoke like an aromatic....Read More
