Delicious Va/Per
July 04, 2018
Product: Sutliff Match Victorian Bulk
I tend to be a little wary of Sutliff blends containing Perique ever since my experience with SPC Deception Pass. The few and only Sutliff blends I tried that contain Perique have a powerful acidic/vinegar note when fresh. Sometimes, as was the ca... Read More
se with Mississippi River, it goes away eventually or at least softens to the point where it's unnoticeable. With Deception Pass I can't even get through a single pipeful without suffering from harsh tongue bite. Elizabethan match contains a nice amount of Perique from what I can see, and the vinegar note is there, though challenged by some zesty fruity notes akin to apricot. I set out enough tobacco for several bowls and let it dry for 15 minutes, and when I loaded my pipe the vinegar aroma was still there, but softened a little at least. I'm sorry for the huge tangent here, but I figured this might be important for people with a sensitive palate. I smoked my pipe in three separate sittings, and each time the flavor was absolutely delicious, with sweet and zesty VA and Perique present in abundance. Each time I was left with a mouth feel that is usually a warning of impending tongue bite, but never being bitten. I'm not entirely convinced that smoking a pipe of this in one sitting wouldn't bite me, but this stuff tasted and smoked so good to me that I'm willing to divide my sittings, employ dgt, and cherish every puff. Elizabethan Match is very tasty, and though I've never had the original Elizabethan I can say this one is not reminiscent of the current version, and heres why. Dunhill Eliz has sweet bread notes while MATCH has sweet fruit notes. Dunhill Elizabethan has a little Perique spice while MATCH has the sour/vinegar tang and spice. Dunhill virginias are superb while Sutliff virginias are pretty tasty. I completely understand that MATCH Elizabethan by Sutliff was meant to be a tribute to the Murray's version and not the Dunhill Version, but that's not a useful comparison for 90% of new pipe smokers, hence the Dunhill comparison. As of now I still enjoy the dunhill Elizabethan quite a bit more, but I'm looking forward to popping my jar for a new taste once it matures for at least six months. I think it will improve immensely, and perhaps the vinegar edge will soften also. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy va/pers of a similar composition to Elizabethan, and even if not! Read Less

I have never thought of it looks like Elizabethan Mixture from Dunhill. It's just an excellent tobacco that I smoke with great pleasure every day.
A good match for elizabethan

I don't have much expectations from this blend at first. But when I reached midbowl in my oldenkot traditionale bulldog, things took a beautiful change. The Virginia's showed it's zest and grassiness, perique is just right and a very enjoyable smoke.... Read More
To be honest with you guys, the only thing lacking in this match is more sweetness to make me rate it 5 stars. If you guys like vapers, buy some of this. I will buy more in the future...
Update: I tried it with friends here in the Philippines. They liked it as a good all day smoke. I tried using a different pipe this time a peanut shaped registered number stanwell from 1950s-60s. Viola! The taste and character intensified. I am now upgrading my rating to 4.5 stars and I will recommend you use a small dry pipe. You will love it! Read Less

朋友匀了我两斗。出甜快，烟气纯正干净。和醇厚二字当然不沾边。但是我觉得给0.5的斗友，分数还是有欠公正。对标同属美国烟草的cd和glp，我觉得从基草质量，裁切工艺上着实强了不少。前段胡椒味很重，我讨厌胡椒味。但在后半段有一股很迷人的坚果味道。以200元不到的价格能收获这样一段还算美妙的体验，算得上口粮烟。打算明年买2磅囤起来。

Beware this is not a match made to the current iteration of EM, this is a match to the old Murray's blend. I find it to have a little more flavor in all area's than the current version. It's a little more figgy/fruity and just slightly more citrusy t... Read More
han the current version of EM. All of that being said, I think it is a slightly superior tobacco to the current version and I highly recommend it, but beware... it is a little different. Enjoy!
Update: It also seems to be a little lighter on the Vitamin N, which is a point against it, so I lowered the score from 4.5 stars to 4 stars. Read Less

海泡石烟斗中燃烧的美味
April 19, 2022
Product: Sutliff Match Victorian Bulk
常常看到，对同一种烟草参差不齐甚至大相径庭的评价，这其中固然存在百人百口，以及当你尝试某一个烟草时的身体状态等主观因素，但我想，对于喜欢基于类似调配的吸烟者们来说，大致的趋同理当还是主流。所以这些褒贬不一，还有最重要的客观因素，那就是你用的什么样的烟斗，他的高矮胖瘦长短，它是石楠、海泡石还是玉米斗，它有无滤芯，滤芯是活性炭、木质或者金属的……所有这些，也许就是烟斗客们乐此不疲的购买各种各样烟斗的缘由！即使它只是一个工具，为了烟草而衍生的附属品。对于Match Victorian，我今天用海泡石尝... Read More
到了富有弹性的柔美香味，熏制的烟草味道。这个熏制的味道再多一些，就很可能不会打动我，它在卡文迪什的弱化下在甜甜的烟雾中若即若离，恰到好处！当然，像我之前所说，它在其他的烟斗中很可能会表现平平，但我会一直用我的几支海泡石燃烧它！😀😀 Read Less
Great composition of Virginia and Perique

Murray's has produced very successful and tasty blends. But since they have been closed since 2004 and Sutliff reproduces legendary tobacco blends, I'm glad I decided to try this tobacco blend. Great composition of Virginia and Perique. Quite a spicy... Read More

The perfect all day VA/Per
December 19, 2019
Product: Sutliff Match Victorian Bulk
This blend is what Elizabethan dreams to be when it grows up. It's an easy smoker, flavorful, but doesnt require a sit down with contemplation. Through the bowl, I get the great Virginia's, with the plummy perique, and they play together very well. ... Read More
Towards the bottom, the Virginia's deepen in flavor , and the perique gets a bit more peppery. This is a blend o can just stuff, light , and go without issue, and still have an enjoyable experience. Read Less

I do not like all day blends but this is mine. More precisely this is my work horse. When i am in doubt about what tobacco should I smoke, or if I work around the h... Read More
ouse and i can't take good care of my smoke, I fill 4/5 of the bowl with this and 1/5 with virginia slices, fire it up and have a very nice smoke. By its own, it warms up quite slow, it has some topings, it is not complex at all, not something to remember, but it is a very nice, simple, tasty smoke. Well done!

Welcome Surprise
January 04, 2019
Product: Sutliff Match Victorian Bulk
There are three versions of Elizabethan; Murray's, Dunhill's and Sutliff's. This match is supposed to be similar to Marry's version, not Dunhills. That said, if you're looking for a Dunhill match, look elsewhere.
Appearance:
The cut is a large r... Read More
ibbon cut, maybe close to a shag.
Bag Aroma:
Deep mustiness, Little Sweetness, Very Slight Vinegar but not anywhere near other Sutiff blends. Light Plum but more like plum pulp tastes (without the bitterness of the skin), slightly sweet with just a hint of pepper. These all play very well together.
Char Light:
Definatley cased which is very forward but pleasant
1st Half of bowl:
Mostly sweetness of Virginia's is noticeable, the casing is present but dissipates through the first half. Deep rich Virginia’s on right in the middle of hay and citrus
2nd Half:
Pepper from the perique climbs a bit and becomes more forward but the symmetry between the virgina's and perique is maintained very well. Casing is still present but has been consistent through the entire bowl.
I smoked this very slow and noticed no tongue bite at all.
Conclusion:
This is a pretty good tobacco on its own accord.
I've never had Murry's or Dunhill's version so I wasn't biased by either in my review. I liked this one alot and for the price it will see plenty of time in my rotation. Read Less

Tastes amazing. I keep coming back to this one. If it weren't for the rancid smell from the jar I'd give it 5 stars. But damn is it good when it is smoked. Sweet Virginia's and a fruity perique. Not like Elizabethan but good in its own right. I'll or... Read More

My go-to Vaper
December 26, 2022
Product: Sutliff Match Victorian Bulk
The one I reach for most. I’ve tried many high-priced tinned vapers from the big name makers but this is the one that does it for me. Low priced and highly underrated. A blend I order by the pound more frequently than any other.
Really enjoyable, whatever it's trying to match

I haven't tried Peterson Elizabethan yet. This match tobacco is not bad. Even burn, grassy taste and good price. It can become my daily smoke.
我的P家伊丽莎白还没打开尝。单独讲这个仿货，它味道不错，燃烧均匀的青草味,价格美丽。可以成为我的日常烟。
Product: Sutliff Match Victorian Bulk
点火时酸甜中带有明显的苦味，抽了5-6口之后苦味消失，酸甜可口，到中段酸味逐渐消失，甜味主导，后段有焦糖味，香气不还不错，但是也没有特别喜欢，草可以醒干一点，稍微大口一点也不咬舌，是一款性价比不错的草
