Sutliff Majestic English is a robust Latakia blend that also includes superb Virginias, air-cured Orientals, mellow Burleys, and zesty, sweet Perique. More Latakia-laden than most of Sutliff's blends, Majestic English is a phenomenal late-night repast or a perfect choice for a lazy weekend afternoon on the deck.
Back when I first heard that Dunhill was ceasing production, I started searching for tobaccos to replace my Dunhill favourites (Durbar, London Mixture, Apertif). I've tried English blends from at least a dozen other producers, as well as two or three other Sutliff English blends, but this is my favourite and has become my go-to daily smoke. I'm not a connoisseur, so I can't tell you what kind of "notes" or "finish" it has. I can only tell you that, to my tastes, it strikes the perfect balance of coolness (no bite), flavour ("woodsy" in my parlance), and aroma (mild, pleasing, not acrid). My friends also comment that the smoke is pleasant, woodsy, and not overpowering.
Customer Testimonials
While I enjoy latakia in my smoke, I'm less fond of the perique. It influences the flavor a great deal more than I would have expected with it's spicy nuances. If that's what you like, you may enjoy this.

Still new to trying english tobaccos I shyed away from blends containing perique. Now I don't know why I was intimidated. I found this to be a very smooth and cool smoke. I'll be trying some more blends now that have perique. Two thumbs up!
