Sutliff Matured Red Virginia 515 RC-1

I like this tobacco, it’s aromatic with full flavor, high quality with a little too much tang. That’s why I gave it 4 stars.

Very good. Not quite as tasty as Dunhill's 3 year matured Virginia, but still excellent.

I'm a fan of vinegar flavored food products, so I thought I'd give this a try. It does have a vinegar aroma, but not overwhelming like I thought it would be based on the reviews. Has the tang with the traditional red VA flavor. Great on its' own or for blending- I blended about 50/50 with some dark fired Kentucky and I think it will be excellent. I also put some away to age to see if it improves.

Stays lit, raisin, plum, bread notes on the palate IMHO. Makes lots of smoke, no tongue bite if sipped. Smoked in a Rossi Rubino Canadian.

In a beautifully ordinary fashion, the mild-medium tobacco projects a consistently warm comforting flavor of rustic wood as its base tempered character. Building some ornamental context, one can denote the active commenting of a sweet, tanged spiciness that tastefully annotates and surrounds this wooded surface. Being well cultured in its accenting influence, this embellishment records reliably in grooming the predominant matured flavor with a subtle and suggestive wine-like quality. Still further, additive colorizing takes the form of some complementing nuances of muted caramel, fleeting bread, and a mellowed citrus hay. Last, the registration also reveals a run of darker fruit, seasoned floral-ness, sour tart, and an abiding tinge of common malty sweeter vinegar. Not overly charismatic as to actual streaming movement on the whole, keep in mind. However, it should be noted that the savor of the minimally embellished tobacco is clearly of a steady character, being perhaps one of the finest straight Red Virginian offerings that I have yet had the pleasure to be satiated by.

Not sure I would classify this as similar to the 5100. But this one seems more spicy as if it had perique in it. The 5100 I had was aged for 5 years before I smoked it and it tasted almost like an aromatic. Maybe that’s the difference.

Good selection of tobaccos, prices are reasonable, and you ship promptly. What more could I ask for? Ed Dietz

excellent

Nice vinegar aroma out of the jar, good all day red, I mix with some dark fired Kentucky. Just an all around good smoke’

For the matured Virginia lover this is a treat.

Great, fresh pipe tobacco I use for blending my own mixture.

A good smoke, I just ordered another half pound. I mix it with sutliff stoved Virginia and a little Kentucky. Low in nicotine, just load and puff. Pack it anyway, smoke it slow or fast, leave a clean bowl, slightly vinegar taste to it , some say ketchup .

This is a great blending VA sweet and smooth

Completely surprising and delighted it’s literally everything the description claims it is!!!
