I have never tried sugar barrel so I have no basis for comparison, but as far as standing alone goes, its pretty alright.
Frankly, not even close

I have conflicted feelings about this review. If I’m to be honest, I actually wasn’t a huge fan of Middleton’s Sugar Barrel. I bought a tub in 2000 and liked having it around as a vintage blend of yesteryear, but Middleton’s Sugar Barrel laid it on t... Read More
hick. I go so far as to say that original SB is the exalted godfather of all of the sickly sweet sticky PG laden aromatics that now dominate. They owe it all to SB. The blend took a drastic step away from what “aromatic” had always meant. Which had always been tobacco “with a subtle essence of “ and decided to go as literally as possible providing the smoker with an experience as advertised on the tub. Don’t get me wrong, the smell in the tub was amazing. The room note was amazing. The feeling in my mouth was awful. I kept it around for the sole purpose of sniffing it in the tub. I moved a few times since then and lost it along the way. Sadly the window closed and the old blend is no more. Except that the “match “ is called bucket not barrel which makes me wonder if the blend will make a triumphant return as a limited run. Why else would Middleton hold on to “Barrel “ ? At any rate Middleton would do well with a revival. The “match” isn’t anything like original SB. SB was dark and sticky with bright twinkling Virginia flakes. The match looks nothing like it. I feel like they managed to reinvent Carter Hall but with much more Virginia flake. I can tell you that SB was much much more than Carter Hall with extra Virginia flake. The top note is nothing like it. SB was maple, honey, molasses and confectionery sugar. The match is......well....Carter Hall, but you get MORE Virginia flake!!! Not a match, but an imitation of a completely different tobacco. Read Less
Mild, Sweet and Tasteless

I've been on a journey trying various Sutliff mixtures, and this is parr for the course... sweet, tasteless and way too mild - more of a one star strength level. I suspect Sutliff acquires decent leaf, and I don't believe their toppings are the ruin... Read More
ation of it. What I think's happening is that the casing's used on these are destroying the nuance of their tobaccos. Cornell and Diehl is way, WAY better than Sutliff's offerings, in part due to the kind of casings and the method(s) used. Nic is 1 outta 5. Read Less
Sawdust!

I'm a big fan of Sutliff products so I had high expectations when I ordered a pound of Sugar Bucket. The flavor and aroma was like smoking pine sawdust and even included the taste & aroma of pine pitch. Bloody horrible!
It’s a codger blend

Pure and simple a codger blend. Won’t knock your socks off and won’t disappoint. Give it a try make up your own mind.
