Sutliff Aged Maduro Cavendish

Earthy and mild. Excellent smoke.

great taste,aroma and room pressence

A surprisingly good tabacco.

If you’re looking for leaf that will give substantial volume and body to your home blend without adding the sweetness of cavendish, you can’t ask for better. Great stuff.

I very much agree with Lucas H.'s review of this blend. It is indeed cigar tobacco in pipe friendly form. My first two purchases were as described in the review-dark, rough-cut leaf that burnt coolly with the deep, rich flavor of a fine maduro cigar. Interestingly, I just received my third order and noticed the cut was more consistent with a traditional cavendish, i.e. a little finer. The blend didn't seem to smoke quite as cool as my original two orders. It is still a very satisfying, flavorful smoke and I will continue to order if even if these (minor) changes are permanent.

This is an atypical pipe tobacco. Really, it's cigar tobacco in pipe-friendly form. Compared to conventional pipe tobacco (including Sutliff's other blends) it's: -coarser cut -moister -darker -cooler smoking -probably a little less friendly to other's noses, unless they like second-hand cigar smoke All in all, I did enjoy it. I found it easier to light, easier to keep lit, and easier to smoke than many others. Just know what to expect in terms of flavor and aroma.

Overall a very good tobacco, just a little too dry though.

A little moist. Mild. Good room note. Not too bad. I'll enjoy it.
