MATCH Elizabethan

If you're a perique lover then this one's for you, the flavoring and aroma of this blend is obviously dominated by it down to the peppery tongue and nose tingle. This blend is a good one for the VaPer fans but may be a little over the top with perique for those who want a more mild smoke. The aroma of the "Match Elizabethan" reminds me of some of the incense that we burned back in the 70's and while it's not bad it's not at the very top of my flavor profiles that I would prefer, I like perique but I don't want it to completely dominate the other ingredients of the blend which in this case are the virginias in the mix. I think that I would prefer the perique to be used as a condiment rather than the main course, much like it is in the "Match Nightcap" blend.

Just to strong for me. Big time tongue bite.

I bought 4 lbs of this based on the reviews and am thrilled with it. My only complaint is it seems to be disappearing mighty fast. -Bravo Sutliff!

I had the Dunhill's Elizabethan, but never the Murray's original version. So I can't compare this match to Murrays. Compared to Dunhill's Elizabethan. I like this Sutliffs match better than Dunhill's version. Taste is similar. However this match just has a little more going on that I like. This being cheaper is also a bonus!

Pretty doggone close.

the taste is similar to the dunhill, just not as intense...i love it; it's an everyday burn...i'm trying a 3-1 blending of this with a tin of elizabethian...if dunhill bolts the scene they better not stop making this match blending...i'm buying it pounds at a time...

A great relaxing smoke. A little sweet, and a hint of peppery spiciness. Mild but plenty of flavor. The aroma out of the bag puts me in mind of an old-time mixture without all manner of flavorings and additives. I really like this mix, it has become one of my favorites.

This is one of the few tobaccos I've bought more than once. Deep and bright in flavor - almost tangy. Hope it sticks around because we're tearing through it.

I've never had the original but this was a good straight forward tobacco. It was a little to peppery for my tast.

Medium cool smoke. Burns well. Earthy, nutty flavor. Have other blends I'll probably go to first.

I have smoked a locally made blend for many years and got an itch to try some others to refresh my memory or "see what's out there." I find Match Elizabethan fully comparable to the original. It is fairly bright, with a toned down sweetness thanks to the darkening and "picquant" is exactly the right word for the the taste the perique adds. It would be 5 star but just wasn't the taste I was looking for.

Very enjoyable, great in the morning with my coffee.

Got this because I love Dunhill mixes. I can say that you nailed this mixture. It is everything that I would expect from Dunhill except the price! Definitely something that I will reorder in the future.

Its a tasty smoke, not near as good as Dunhill version...seems to be missing a bit of the perique bite. Dunhill Elizabethan is easily my favorite all day every day smoke...the Match is " close " but a bit flat... I ended up mixing it 66% with Daughters and Ryan Picayune 33% and beefed it up just a touch and found that it was an enjoyable smoke...though it is not equal to the Dunhill.
