Why is this not in a tin?
June 15, 2019
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
If you are an English lover and looking for a great tobacco blend that wont break the bank, you may not find a better choice than Sutliff's Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound. This blend has a lot going for it. The Latakia is cool and smooth burning with ... Read More
that all important smokiness for good English flavor. The Virginia seems to have some age to it with a fermented fruit tanginess that is bolstered by the (I'd guess substantial amount of) Perique. The Burley plays a supporting roll but brings a nice dry nutty flavor to the overall taste. You could stop blending there and have a nice English mixture, but I believe the addition of the Turkish orientals is what adds the “wow” factor for me. Slightly pungent or sour, the Turkish gives this a richness that boosts the flavor and makes this somewhat mild-medium blend appear to be much bolder than it actually is. I believe this to be firmly in the medium range, though I can't quite pin down the nicotine content. It seems to be more than I expect each time. This is probably from the Burley and I actually like the nic level even as an all-day smoke. The ribbon cut is nice and color ranges from medium-brown to black, mostly having a darker appearance. The tin note is a sort of dry musty aroma but this translates more to room note than to taste. I am pleasantly surprised at how good this blend is for it's price. The quality here could easily sell in a $10 tin. Luckily, Fox & Hound has a great value and taste that English fans on a budget can appreciate. Enjoy. Read Less
Still Delivering An Excellent Smoke
May 12, 2016
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
I backed out of this blend after SPC got a new batch from Sutliff, but after ignoring it for over 6 months I see that Fox & Hound still delivers a fine smoke. It used to be my all-day tobacco and it could still be if I hadn't change my habits sin... Read More

A nice english blend. .

Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
I'm not overly partial to English blends, this tobacco is an exception, It has a good taste, and is not overly heavy on the latakia. It lights easily and stays lit. It can be an all day tobacco, as it is fairly mild as English blend go.
Pleasant And Satisfying
February 14, 2015
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
I find this blend to be quite interesting, where I notice mostly its smokey Perique presence. Although a generally satisfying smoke, the *English* blend family mention should not overrule your expectation as Latakia obscured by the Perique. Expect a ... Read More
mostly Perique/Latakia smokey/spiced smoke rather than a overall explicit English blend. 4 stars as I'm quite happy to have ordered one pound of it.
Edit 07/27/2015: I've been ordering 1 pound of this blend each of the last 5 months being my main all-day tobacco and I must say that at its price and taste it is one of the best low cost "english" blends out there. Raising to 4 1/2 stars because I love it!
Edit 11/04/2015: Its price went up a bit but its taste is as always Great! Raising it to 5 stars as it is one of the most interesting blends I've smoked until now. Read Less
Tastes Like Seattle Pipe Club's POTLATCH
November 01, 2020
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
This is a dead-ringer of Potlatch by SPC. After learning that Sutliff makes SPC mixtures, I'm now convinced that this is in fact POTLATCH with a slightly different topping. If you like POTLATCH, Here's your chance to get it in bulk!. I'm not a huge... Read More
fan of POTLATCH (except for the Yenji used), but for those that are - here's your bulk (inexpensive) version to cellar. Nic is 2 outta 5. Read Less
Nicely balanced...

The Latakia in this blend isn't especially overpowering, making it possible to enjoy the other flavors as well.
Good Blend

Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
This blend does everything well but nothing great. I will put some in the cellar for future change of pace but maybe only 8oz.

This tobacco is simple but good enough. I currently used for fishing or any other activity that doesn't requires my completely attention, because this tobacco keep itself afire without problems. This tobacco maybe will be part of my cellar for long t... Read More

Neither Here Nor There
March 04, 2017
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
This tobacco is a little bit hard to put one's finger on. It is almost so mild as to not be able to bear the name of an "English" blend. It is noticeably moist upon opening, yet lights with little fuss and burns well enough, biting little. ... Read More
The pouch note is fruity-sweet and almost aromatic - I was confused initially thinking I had been sent the wrong blend! The smoke is smooth but lacks substance and character. There is small flirts of its components peeking through from time to time - slight sweet and spicy notes, but not enough to remain interesting. The latakia struggles to make itself known. Aftertaste is slightly metallic and not the greatest. Two and a half stars for being easy to smoke and not offensive, but gains no more due to its flat and fairly bland nature. Read Less
Unpleasant aroma
May 19, 2016
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
While it is a smooth smoke, the smell is unlike anything I've ever encountered in 40 years of pipe smoking English blends. I'll save it for emergencies, but will not be reordering this one....

solid english
December 13, 2015
Product: Sutliff Tobacco Galleria: Fox & Hound Bulk
This blend is bold and smokey as a good english should be. The peppery flavor of the perique adds a touch more bite than i think it should. The lack of yellow virginias is noteable because this blend has almost none of that light sweetnes provided by... Read More
