Better than the Original
February 14, 2018
Product: Sutliff Revelation Match Bulk
It has a dark, fruity smell. I can detect the smell of the Perique but there's not enough of it to cause the characteristic tongue tingle that Perique often causes. The Dark Fired Kentucky and Latakia compliment one another without competing, or one ... Read More
getting lost in the other. It must be the Virginia that adds some sweetness as well as the plum casing. The Burley rounds it out and gives some body to the smoke. I had the original House of Windsor years ago, and I did not like it. I like this enough to call it one of my favorites and to try to always have some on hand. Read Less

delicious... delicious... delicious.... This tobacco is mild, fruity and has a pleasant aroma. And it is not smoke like steam that is too light. Next time I will order in pounds.
Best every day blend of all time

Want to smoke something slightly fruity, fragrant and a little complex for a reasonable cost? Then this is it. My favorite every day blend. Smoke this and you will find out why Albert Einstein. Seems to love an earlier version on this.
Quite good variety of flavor! Creamy rich sweetness, a little nut, darkened fruit, zest. and cool smoothing light Latakia.

[Tin/bag - Old shoe leather, some slight sweetness. Slight vinegar almost, and slight plum. Moisture ready to go, but you may want to break up some of the chunkiness of Burley and V.Flake in the mix. I packed most the small chunks and did not need... Read More
to rub out any.]
Warm and creamy, with rich sweetness with faint Virginia yellow grass. A slight millisecond of bitter from maybe some Burley on false light out. I quite like this blend. A little bit of the Burley for some nuttiness along with Latakia smoothing it out with a little smoke and coolness while there is a mild influx of sweetness. I can sense the Perique in there, but I am not getting any of the characteristic tingle or sting in the nose or on the tongue for any spice (it may come later down the bowl - some just barely at times). Some almost vanilla in there with the sweetness, creaminess is there for sure, slightly on the verge of 50/50 popsicle at times. I have never tried the original Revelation, but this is a great tobacco. Enjoying the variations of flavor, the mild casing along with some Latakia and sweetness. Finally even a little Perique nip pops in there too. Nice and fulfilling smoke.
This is good for any time, and I am glad I took a shot at it. Mild burning, can be heated up, but a smooth normal cadence should not be a problem. I am freight training this a bit while exploring the flavors and not feeling any bite other than a tingle here and there, with a good after taste that has lots of sweetness verging toward orange. Minimal if any relights necessary. Not a moisture maker, and burns down to a small ash with one tiny chunk of dottle (user error). I'll have to reorder a pound to have on hand. It's good stuff, and I might like Presbyterian more (and its Match), but this is good to have on hand for changing things up a bit. Pairs excellent with Lagunitas Imperial Stout (for intermittent sips). ◄7.3/10✠Skulls► Read Less

Put some of this in a cloth roll up pouch, let it sit for a week, bang Revelation. This is a bit more fruity actually but its jot a had thing. I enjoy this most in my Kaywoodie.

Revelation mixture was reputed to be Dr. Albert Einstein's "go to" favorite. From the best I can recall from "Back In The Day" times this is a mighty close approximation. For a blend with Latakia composition this is a mellow smoke... Read More

This Match of the old PM Revelation is far better than any of the other matches...Definitely worth a try for those that enjoy this type of pipe tobacco...

I've been smoking this a few months now and I do like this better than the original. Mild, fruity, nice aroma, smokes cool.

This is a very tasty mild all day smoke. I am very much enjoying this blend, and will keep in my permanent rotation. Albert Einstein had excellent taste. The smell is awesome.
What a revelation

I bought this and Epiphany at the same time. You can read my review of Epiphany at Smoking Pipes too. I found this to be an awesome blend. I think the combination of tobaccos and the right amounts were masterfully blended because this creation is a p... Read More
leasure to imbibe. It is something one could easily smoke all day, everyday. The aroma is enticing, and the savor flavor compels you back to another bowl. I can see why Einstein smoked this. I just don't know how he did everything else too! Read Less
Does anyone really remember Revelation?

I've tried 3 different Revelation copies (Epiphany, MATCH, Sutliff) and I find it interesting that none of them taste anything like the others. Heck, this blend actually has different component tobaccos from the others. That said, I think I like th... Read More

This, I am told, is a match to Einstein’s favorite blend, and since the great man discovered Relativity, it’s somehow appropriate that this blend be his favorite. Now, we know from Special Relativity that time slows down the closer one gets to the sp... Read More
eed of light. In like manner, as I smoked this, time slowed to a crawl as I contemplated how I had managed to find a tobacco that smells like a nun emptied a can of her toilet spray in a truck stop rest room. Still, I toughed it out for until it needed a relight after about a half-hour, only to realize it had only been about 15 seconds and I still needed to tamp it. The phrase “throw up in your mouth “takes on new meaning, especially since the flavor tastes like Old Spice and a rotting peach had a two-headed tobacco love-child named Revelation. Pretty much unsmokable. But I will give one-half star for the fruit cake aftertaste. That said, those who like aromatics that remind them of their wives’ scented bath salts, then this is for you.

Reve-what?

Product: Sutliff Revelation Match Bulk
Whoever blended this tobacco has surely never smoked Revelation, perhaps the greatest American tobacco blend of all time.
This sweet and gooey "match" has neither the flavor nor fragrance of the original.
