MATCH Sugar Barrel

Thank You! Been missing my FAVORITE for a long time! Now I've found a Quality substitute. A Great match! A NEW Customer, Greg Patterson Plano,Texas

Was a bit dry, but smokeable.

The cut is kind of an issue when starting. It seems like I have trouble getting it lit but once it starts burning it keeps on going with a pretty decent flavor but nothing that really jumps out. All in all not a bad smoke if you have the patience to get it lit.

Good all day smoke.

Nice mildly sweet codger blend. I have reordered and will keep it in my rotation.

Excellent, mild flavored, most enjoyable

I never had the original, but I'm exploring the old school burley-forward codger style blends. I enjoy this one. I definitely get brown sugar, but it's not wholly overpowering. It's not a complex, contemplative blend. It's utilitarian, does a fine job at being what it is. It's a blend to work in the shop, mow the lawn, and go about your business with. A fine workhorse that needs no fiddling, or meditation. Of course, I would say the same of most codger blends, but the sugar topping in Sugar Barrel Match makes it stand out.

Didn't bite, perfect out of the bag, nice aroma, nice change of pace

I generally smoke black cav. w/vanilla. I wanted to try something different, so I ordered an ounce of this. It is not for me, not to say it is bad, just not my thing.

Not sure how close this is to the original sugar barrel since it's been many years since I smoked the original blend. This is a good aromatic blend. Not exactly my "cup of tea" so to speak, but I don't think that's a problem with the tobacco.

It reminds me of the first time I tried it, fifteen years ago.

I smoke a bit of most types of mixtures but mostly I enjoy "English Blends", both traditional and the American-English variety. Otherwise I prefer the "Codger" Burley pipe mixtures. Sugar Barrel is just wonderful. This is the comfort food of pipe tobaccos. Creamy, nutty, cereal like flavor that is reminiscent of a bowl of warm Cream of Wheat with brown sugar. No tongue scorching like a nasty Virginia forward blend, Sugar Barrel is straightforward tasty, sweetened Burley that if it has any Virginia it is in a small quantity as a condiment. Match Sugar Barrel lights up easily, tastes good from the get go and the flavor builds and becomes more tasty as you puff away. The stuff is a great buy, very inexpensive and very enjoyable. Highly recommended, I like this better than the new Lane Ready Rub reincarnation.

This is a great blending tobacco. Very smooth. Very nice smoke.

Excellent well done can't tell the difference from the original

Lots and lots or large pieces. Spent half-hour w/ scissors cutting down to size. Having done that, perhaps I no longer remember the original Sugar Barrel flavor, but this doesn't seem to match it. Burns up very quickly and rather tasteless.

The leaf was bone dry. Burned very harsh. Poor quality.

Not as sweet as the original, but better I thought. More Balanced.
