Good American/English blend
January 17, 2018
Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
I generally like crossover English blends and this one is no exception. It is pleasantly sweet, rich and lightly smoky. It produces a decent amount of smoke and has a nice mouth feel to it. There is a light topping here but I can't discern what it is... Read More
, other than lightly sweet and maybe a little fruity, but not over done. Good show E. Hoffman! Read Less
Know Before You Buy

Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 7oz
A good mixture, but not unique from many other Sutliff products. The topping is a pretty standard rum/fruit/sweet, but lightly done... but the mix itself feels exactly the same as Heine's and Edward G. Robinson. Typical Cavendish and English crosso... Read More
ver stuff.
The only thing special about this blend is the packaging. It looks great on a shelf, but you won't reach for it often once you've tried it.
If this kind of blend sounds appealing to you, try Sutliff Old Professioe or Lord Nelson, Revelation Match, Holiday Match or a dozen others.
Pretty packaging isn't worth the extra cost for what you get here. Read Less

Just what you'd expect
July 06, 2018
Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
This is just what you might expect from am English Aromatic. The “English” comes through predominantly, with a flavor profile similar to a light version of Peter Stokkebye’s Proper English albeit with a slight sweetness. The sweetness, of course, can... Read More
be attributed to the cavendish and the flavoring (Rum, we’re told but it tastes more like a honey-bourbon. The “Lightness” comes, I suspect, from the Burley. If this were my blend. I’d cut the burley in half, allowing the other components shine a little brighter.
This is one of those blends where the tin note is not a great reflection of the flavor profile when smoked: Much sweeter in tin then in the pipe!
Smokes well right out of the tin, especially with a little drying time.
Falls a little flat on the retrohale but the room note, so I’m told, is pleasant. Read Less
Aftertaste

Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
This has one of the worst aftertastes for a tobacco that I’ve had
Could be a go too.

Over all I enjoyed it, its smooth, no bite, and a good room note. Got plenty of comments when I smoked in public. I found myself smoking it easily, no brainer. Definitely want to have if you like aromatics or knee easy English to smoke anytime.

Tin note of sugary spices, vanilla and musty vegetation. Tobacco is a Coarse cut of yellowish tan, light brown, brown and black. Moisture content is good. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is ... Read More
listed, but other than smell, I couldn't detect it. Taste is mild to medium and somewhat consistent, with notes of smoky incense, herbal floral, tart and tangy citrus, nuts, spices, sour vegetation, wood, sweet grass, toast, peaty/musty, orange peel, zesty, a mildly lemony background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia and Latakia fighting for the is leading with Burley and Cavendish supporting. Flavoring is supporting from afar. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good. Read Less

Great little smoke for a walk around town or reading a good book while sitting outside under an ole magnolia tree.
Great Blend

Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
After my 2nd pipe I knew this was, for me, a special blend. The tin note seriously reminded me of the old days back in the 80's when I use to haunt malls and when you reached that one section of the mall where there was a Tinder Box, and the wonderfu... Read More
l aroma of all the tobaccos drew me into the store, well the tin note is that. Rich and pleasant smoke, subtle sweetness, and some complexity really makes this a winner for me. Read Less
Distinguished Gentleman Indeed!
January 26, 2019
Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
All of the components come through in different moments, like an orchestra. Sometimes you get a little toasted nuttiness from the burleys. Then there’s the grassy sweetness from the virginias. And every once in a while, you’ll get just a waft of ince... Read More
nse — the latakia making itself known. The cavendish provides a nice, natural tobacco component keeping everything together. There’s a very slight taste of rum throughout the smoke.
The nicotine hit is very mild. So is the tongue bite. All in all, it’s a very mild blend that could be an all day smoke.

Smells like men!

Reminds me of being a man and doing yardwork. Sometimes I just sit and smell the tobacco, but it is equally as nice to smoke it
A distinguished smoke

Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
I found this to be pleasant and smooth to smoke. I've been fighting my way through these aromatics and English and Virginia Blends and this is one of my favorites for sure now. I am relatively a new pipe smoker and I've been enjoying this hobby for a... Read More
while now. This for sure will be headed to my new rotation of blends to smoke what a great surprise it was to smoke. The aroma and the smell that leaves in the room is wonderful people that I smoked it with loved it and wanted to try it. Some of my other pipe smoker friends or more of the English and Virginia's and thought this was a really nice change up for them even though it is considered English aromatic. If somebody's looking to break into some more English or Virginia Blends this would be the way I would go. Love to smoke surprising hit I'm glad I got it and it's going to be added to my normal rotation of smokes. Read Less

Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
well this stuff has a price point thats hard to beat. and i hate to say thats its only redeeming quality, while not a bad smoke it just doesnt click with me for a few reasons. fist of tin note was pretty enticing, light latakia blend with a liqueur t... Read More
opping of what smells like Kahlua. a few to many stems in the cut, and the main thing i dont like is upon lighting it taste dusty. yes taste like actual dust and dirt. now its a light taste but its all can focus on. it does go away after the first third of a bowl, and develops a nice simple taste, it never really knocks my socks off. and that is what i want in a tobacco. i mean life is to short to smoke inferior baccy, and that is just what this is, and inferior tobacco. probly why it has the liqure flavoring in the first place to cover up crap tobacco.

Like Crushed Velvet
November 27, 2017
Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 7oz
This tobacco has a deep, rich, but mild flavor that hits all the notes for me. I bought it because I like retro everything and spilled most of the tin on opening it. I smoked what was left and ordered 3 large tins of it immediately. It's like sitting... Read More

Turned out great

Product: E. Hoffman Company Distinguished Gentleman 2.5oz
I opened the tin and to me the tin note is... odd. Interesting, weird perhaps. Bizarre I don't think is too strong of a word. Like if you put some flowers through a juicer, stems and all, and then mixed your flower juice with some cough syrup. Off-pu... Read More
tting isn't too strong of a term either. Not going to lie, I was worried, but I pressed on. To my delight, the aroma COMPLETELY CHANGES once the tobacco start burning. Creamy, fruity, floral. Little bite. You just want to keep puffing on it. Really, really good. Read Less

Dieser Tabak erinnert anfangs enorm an den Mac Baren Mixture. Das Abrandverhalten ist im ersten Drittel zügig, insgesamt jedoch sehr gut. Die Konsistenz in der Dose ist vorbildlich - nicht zu trocken, nicht zu feucht, genau richtig also. Geruch nach ... Read More
dem Öffnen der Dose kaum zu definieren: kakao- rosinenartig dezent im Hintergrund mit latenter Säuerlichkeit. Keine Chemo-Keule. Geschmacklich ähnlich der MB Mix, leichtes, angenehm frisches Prickeln ab 2. Hälfte ohne dabei an Geschmack zu verlieren. Relativ tabakecht mit wenig Nikotin. Ich hätte gern alle Sterne vergeben, wenn er denn nicht ab letzten Drittel doch etwas bitterlich werden würde. Als ADS gut geeignet, auch anfängertauglich, vom Hocker reisst er im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes nicht. Die Büchse allerdings ist eine Augenweide. Read Less
