Sutliff Virginia Slices Sale

A great Virginia flake that is great for mixing using other tobaccos. I will buy this again. Great price!!

What a great Virginia! I love it and the price is hard to beat. Great all by itself or use it in a blend... smokes great, packs great and I got not bite from it at all.

Great Virginia flavor and fresh as it can be

Fantastic Virginia tobacco, smooth smoke with a great fresh cut hay fragrance out of the jar, and a nice easy smoke.

First tired it about a month ago and ordered 16 ounces more. It is an excellent slices that smokes very good. Burns nice in the pipe.

Nothing to deep or diverse to talk about in flavor change with this one but don't write it off! If you love the grassy sweetness of a good Virginia then this is a great flake. I love it! Will definitely be ordering this by the pound again.

Not to much of the Virginia flavor like this better than twist

Smooth smoking with different tastes popping up quite often. Growing to be a great Virginia for me.

Not as much character as Navy Slice but still worth the hassle. Still waiting for Return Label for Capt Black/Crown Pipes order!

Straight up Virginia, baby

Simple, and perfect. A lovely smoke reminding me of sweet baked goods. The slices break up or rub out very well. I personally enjoy it in a broken flake form as opposed to completely rubbed out. I find more flavor there. I immediately bought more to cellar it to see how it will be next summer. This is definately in my summer rotation and the price is definately right.

I love Sutliff Virginia Slice! I also love smoking Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake! In the past year, I’ve purchased five pounds of the Sutliff Virginia Slice, and five pounds of the Stokkebye’s Luxury Virginia Flake! If I was blind folded and if you handed me a pipe filled with Sutliff Virginia Slice and asked me to smoke it, and then a little while later you handed me a pipe filled with the Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake... and asked me to smoke that for a while, I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell you what tobacco was in which pipe.Both tobaccos are wonderfully mild, and very satisfying to smoke! I know there is perique in Peter Stokkebye’s Navy Flake, and I really love that! I also love the natural flavors of a straight Virginia tobacco such as Sutliff’s Virginia Slice! I smoke approximately six bowls of pipe tobacco per day, in which I alternate between these two pipe tobaccos! For the price you can’t go wrong with the purchase of either one of these beautiful Virginia flakes! I got to have the best of both worlds, so I will continue to purchase Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake, and Sutliff Virginia Slice! You will not find a better Virginia Flake and at a very reasonable price than from Sutliff and Stokkebye! Thank you for sharing the love of these tobaccos to your pipe enthusiasts around the world!

We get so cynical it's hard to believe that a major player in an industry can produce something excellent, but this one stands up to even the fanciest of fancy brands. It's pressed Virginias with a little citrus topping, and it's one of the most pleasant smokes you can have without thinking too hard. Even better after a few months in the jar.

None

Very nice aroma.. Flavor is good... Im thinking of buying some standard English and a bit of cherry to create my personal flavor desires... Good price... I like it

One of my favorites.

Very mellow. The notes of hay and grass. Great everyday smoke.

Very good straight Virginia with plenty of medium to low notes to balance out the high notes. Rich tobacco flavour. I would recommend to anyone who wants to avoid aromatics.

GREAT

The sweet hay-like flavor/taste is there, but almost so subtle it's easy to miss because as a whole it smokes/tastes more like a dark fired Kentucky. When I smoke a Virginia, I want to taste that hay sweetness, not a cigarette. This *might* make a good mixer if someone needs to mellow something out and needs a very small bit of sweet aftertaste.

06 JUN, 2020 The tin note lends to molasses, Figs, a heavy hay aroma with a very sweet note even hints of chocolate. This blend is very different from any other Virginia blend I have smoked. It has some tanginess to it and is very smooth. It does not get hot but I suppose it could if hit hard. This mixture is a great smoke. I like it. This is a pretty damn good Virginia blend.

Good room note and flavor with little tung bite.

Sutliff Virginia Slice never has failed me. For me is is strong enough. It is not bitty. It has always retained "Favorite" status. It is always just what I want as a good tasting tobacco to smoke all by itself. It makes a good choice if you want to use it as a base for some sort of "Desk Blend" of whatever is left over. ||| Very few blends qualify to be a favorite.

If you prefer flake style tobaccos, I recommend putting Sutliff Virginia Flake in your rotation. It’s all natural Virginia tobacco without any flavorings, providing a satisfying smoke, with a pleasant room note.

This flake has supplanted Stokkebye's Luxury Twist Flake as my number one Virginia flake choice. I just recently made the switch due to the superior flavor and sweetness of this Sutliff flake. It has a sweet citrus note in the pouch, and burns very cool. It's great to know flakes of this quality are still out there to be discovered!

It was good

I bought an ounce of this in 2017 to try a Virginia flake when I first took up pipe smoking. I've been a cigar guy for many years. I found this tobacco mild, moist, and unassuming at that time, and moved on to buying and trying the "English" and Balkan blends. Over many years of smoking, my pallet has changed considerably for tobacco, and I found myself looking for something that I can simply smoke, and not feel the need to work at it. A simple, unassuming, tobacco, that can stay in the background while doing chores or working on the computer. Consequently, I have sampled some Virginias looking for this laid-back type of smoke. H&H Virginia Memory was the first I tried, and I found it to my liking, but a little spendy for this type of blend. I tried John Cottons' Double Pressed Virginia, and it too was a light, easy going smoke, and it's also too spendy for a tobacco just to "burn". I started doing some research here at P&C, and "rediscovered" Sutliff Virginia Slices. I ordered a pound, and should have ordered 10 pounds. While it is typically moist (for my liking) like most flake tobaccos are, after rubbing it out and letting it dry for 24 hours, it makes the smooth, gentle, unobtrusive smoke that I was looking for. Like most Virginias, it has "Grassy and Haylike" flavors, which are actually the scent of fermentation of hay. I notice no Citrus, but I do find this tobacco sweet. If you wish for something simple, unobtrusive, and inexpensive for a "Burner" tobacco, this is worth your' consideration.

nice smooth smoke. doesn't have that addictive feel to it. first time buying a kake but will most certainly buy this again

Have had this before. It doesn’t disappoint because of the fact that it is flaking simply burn slower and better. It has a little spice to it if that’s what you’re looking for.

My all time favorite Virginia is Orlik Golden Sliced. Smoking this has similarities to that, but I wouldnt call it the same at all. Sutliff Virginia Slices are perfect mild, smooth virginia with notes of grass, hay, and cream. Though Orlik is a treat, I buy this a couple of pounds at a time to smoke every single day and enjoy. If you are looking for a good consistent virginia flake, Id settle in and try some! Major Props to Sutliff for making such a high quality product!

like it, would order again

Smokes great, not much re-lighting compared to other slices. The flavor is a bit richer than their rubbed sweet Virginia. You'd better get enough to last because it's gonna get smoked.

My favorite of the sampler I got, burns great and has a sweet corn like flavor

Fairly clean, Burns with no bite. Very basic Virginia. It’s my all day smoke, great price and as long as you like grassy hay like Virginia tobaccos you can’t go wrong with this stuff.

good stuff

This stuff smokes phenomenally and tastes way more complex than it has the right to. For the price, you really can't find many VA blends that have this much to offer. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's salty. I find myself randomly smelling the bowl later in the day after smoking this one. Very relaxing, would absolutely recommend.

Nice pure Virginia flavor. I miss the Perique but not that much - nice balance.

Smooth fragrant smoke. No added flavors, just good aged Virginia flavor, the way it was always supposed to be. I add a little Perique just for dimension, but that's a personal thing. Smoke it right out of the bag. It doesn't get better than this.

Good mouth feel, smooth, likeable, all day smoker. Worthy to be put in a rotation. A very good price I might add and one you can buy in bulk. I have buddy who I'm gonna give this to try as his first tobacco when he tries smoking a pipe. Don't worry he smokes already. I tried this side by side with Peter stokkebye navy flake(playing with fire), I'm sorry, but I like this better

Definitely a solid quality VA. Should mature nicely and become richer with age.

This is my first straight Virginia. The only thing that I can compare it to is OGS...I think that I like this better! It is smooth, smokes cool ,for me, and has no tongue bite when smoked slowly.

So delicious, this is my current favorite. Has a similar taste to Orlik GS with a much better price. Citrus Hay Grass Sweet. Love it!

A decent va tobacco with no bite and a good price.

Cellar Building on a Budget 101 Cornerstone. It's just going to get better.

Sweet, citric, floral, nutty, bite free, I love it

Can’t beat the price for this flake, burns great tastes good.

Basic smoke,sure,but my favorite go to with an excellent taste and price.

Mildly sweet with a citrusy hay taste. Will add it to my rotation.

Good

enjoyed it a lot. nothing fancy, just a great smoke.

I smoked McClelland 2015 for many years, and then they went out of business. I badly needed a replacement. The Virginia Slice has filled this void very nicely. It is smooth on the tongue, burns slowly to a nice white ash, and has mild nutty flavor.

Been away from the pipe for awhile and on first light I can’t for the life of me tell you why. This tobacco brings back so many memories. Excellent to the very end! Great tobacco.

Soft puff. Grassy note. Burns completely. Each bowl last over 1 hour and takes me the world of meditation and nice thoughts.

This is a great pure virginia slice. Nice grassy notes, burns cool and slow. And at a great price. I'll be stocking up

If you like sweet Va flakes then this is right up your alley.

Very best of any tobacco ordered so far.

I'd say as a fairly straight Virginia, this blend is lightly sweet and easy to smoke. A decent budget option.

Sutliff Virginia Slice is a really nice Virginia flake. It smokes perfectly and easy to pack. Sounds that it need to be aged though.

This is a good. I’m no expert by any means, but I liked it.

Love it, I buy every month if it’s in stock.Gets better with alittle time. Just take ur time with it and u can get the sweetness. Will continue to purchase

I have just recently got into smoking and at first I got the sweetest flavored stuff I could find. It was absolutely awful. I got this bulk just to try something new and it’s a much better fit for what I’m looking to smoke.

I am definitely a Virginia and Va/Per lover. I have recently been having an affair with burley, particularly the lighter, OTC blends. I've come to like most burley-based blends very much. I guess my tastes in pipe tobacco are fairly eclectic: I also like light English blends and certain other latakia blends - long as they aren't "lat bombs". But I find myself always coming back to Virginia and Va/Per blends. So, after the fling with burley, I wanted to get several good quality Virginia-Va/Per blends for a nice change. Sutliff's Virginia Slices was one of them. I must say that the presentation is very interesting and attractive. These slices are cut considerably longer than most other flakes I've seen. I read that this is a European style. These slices rub out pretty easily, but my preferred method of flake preparation is a variation of "fold & stuff" I think of as "wad & stuff". So, I pulled a slice into a shorter section, then took a bit and simply wadded the tobacco into a ball and stuffed it into the bowl of my pipe. I repeated until the bowl was full. Bag note: smells like fresh, good ole tobacco. I couldn't detect a topping. This tobacco lights and burns readily to a fine, gray-white ash, and very few re-lights required. As with other Virginia blends, smoke this slowly to get the most flavor. Sip it! The smoke was cool and lasted a long time. Now, I usually have difficulty tasting the citrus notes everyone describes with Va blends. Plenty of grass and hay and all that, but citrus always seems to elude me. But with this blend, I was able to detect it! That sorta citrusy taste was subtle and would shy away whenever I tried to reach for it, but I was definitely getting it with this blend. Some earthiness in there, too, but lots of good, solid tobacco taste. Most Virginias leave a good after-taste for me, and Virginia Slices is no exception. It is also not hard on the tongue provided you don't huff n puff it. My favorite straight Virginia is G.L. Pease "Union Square"; Virginia Slices isn't going to beat it, in my opinion. But, just the same, this blend is tasty. Yes, it is a basic tobacco that is one- maybe two-dimensional. But, sometimes that's what is needed. This blend is good, especially for the price. I recommend it!

No burn on the tongue,stays lit, nice aroma

Dandy and nice, not necessarily in that order.

a solid flake tobacco, my everyday smoke.

Perfect match to Orlik Golden Sliced. If you like OGS, then, give this a try. You won't be disappointed, still the same citrus, grassy taste that you expect. Also, you might want to try "Peter Stokkebye" Bull's Eye Flake, it seems a little sweeter and less citrus, but, still a good substitute. I'll be ordering more on a regular basic. Thanks again P &C for the Top Notch Service and products

rich, smooth, slow burning. worth a try!

Affordable put half for aging. And the rest for blending. Good smoke and blends well.

Not as aromatic as I have expected. More of an evening smoke. Finishes well though.

Good Smoke

smokes hotter than I enjoy with black cavendish

This is a lovely 5 star flake, as it has all the characteristics that I am looking for. It rubs out easily, which makings filling a breeze. It burns cool and is not heavy on the tongue. The nicotine level is very low, which I prefer. It is best smoked slowly to bring out the flavor. I gravitate to milder tobaccos and this fills the bill for me. A good all day smoke for those who prefer finess over strength.

Love the product, and I must not be the only one, as they seem to have trouble keeping it in stock. Almost as good as Dunhill Flake, but at the bulk price, this one's well worth a try...

Its a decent virginia flake not as citrusy or sweet as macbaren offering yet it still is young and it needs age. Better for blending than solo play. Room note is of virginia (hay) burn quality is decent as well, its not very cheap but worth giving it a try.

Great stuff at a great price. Similar to Dunhill Flake, only milder. Great all day smoke, and goes great with black coffee...

Its a plain tobacco, no potpourri, no fruitiness to it, its a mans tobacco... not suggested for the noob

I was surprised how nice these slices are. They arrive a bit broken but that's alright by me as I rub out most flakes anyway. This tobacco lights very easily and smokes like a dream when I smoke it very slowly, almost as if I am 'breath smoking' it. But then VA's aren't made for aggressive puffing right? So that's how I like it. it has a nice mildly sweet hay/citrus flavor that stays with me awhile after my pipe is finished. I like to smoke VA flake in a somewhat narrower chamber than my burleys and it smokes just fine. I AM planning on purchasing a half pound or so just to have on hand due to all tobacco prices coming on the rise thanks to the good ol' FDA

Great for blending and even amazimg all by itself. Good slow smoke while sitting on the back porc. Pairs nice with sweet tea.

A very good mildly sweet VA flake which is very similar to Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Navy Flake without the pinch of Perique that blend contains. A very nice price and mild enough with sweetness that I could see many smoking as a daily blend. The loose flakes break up very well and the moisture is at a perfect level to rub out and smoke immediately.

To my taste this nearly straight Virginia comes with a high water content (for shipping and storage purposes). I dried the pound out without separating the "hanks" of tobacco in the opened cardboard shipping box. I arranged the tobacco in approximately one layer. After three hours in a 85 degree room the weight was down noticeably and the surface was dry so I jarred the pound in a 2 quart Ball jar. I could tell by touch that the casing was holding about the right amount of water. I let her set for a few days so that the moisture would equalize throughout the jar. Smokes very nice (considering the price). Propylene glycol humectant is noticeable but tolerable (enough to feel on the fingers) - I am very sensitive to too much glycol, prefering glycerin and sugar to glycol generally. However, Virginia Slice has just a reminder of glycol and not a full mouth searing blast. After you get the water out, that is. There is a light topping, not objectionable. Lots of bulks (but not C&D) are shipped with high moisture content. Sam. Gawith Full Virginia Flake in the can is generally too moist, and bulk comes way too moist to jar properly, but nonetheless FVF is a wonderful tobacco well worth the cost. I am quite pleased with my Sutliff Virginia Slice order. I generally add a little dark fired and/or decent burley to it. I used to use Syrian Latakia for that sort of job as I do not tolerate Cyprian well, and have little taste for Perique these days. I have never been able to finish a bowl of any aromatic. Everybody has "a different body chemistry" and my experiences are very unlikely to be a reliable pipe smoker's guide for the reader except for those who understand what I have written. Best of luck to all, a decent pipe and a decent tobacco are wonderful.

If you're looking for a decent VA flake in slices that's cheap and just a good basic VA, this is what you want to get. It's like a cheaper bulk 2nd best to Dunhill Flake.

This doesn't have much complexity but it is mild, sweet, and consistent. A good all day smoke for someone who loves virginias.

My first impression, besides noting how exceptionally long these slices are, was that this resembles Macbaren Virginia Flake...in several ways. This is a nice balance of brighter and dark Virginias. Partially rubbed out, Macbaren style, clump and stuff Danish style, this blend s'mores very, very close to the Macbaren version...rubbed out fully, it reminds me of Virginia #1, both in smoking characteristics and in flavor. This is not a flavor bomb, but smoked slowly, it is very enjoyable and subtly sweet. The aroma isn't quite as sweet as Virginia #1, but not objectionable, either. It gets along well with both briar and cobs. I find it to smoke a little on the hot side, but this reminds me to slow down, which is a good thing. This is a solid four star tobacco for me. Where it picks up its fifth star is as a blending tobacco. It really shines here! I love blending this with Comoy's Cask #4 for an amazingly flavorful VaPer...my all day smoke lately. It also plays well when blended with English blends to add a touch more sweetness. This has become a staple tobacco for me. I was very surprised and pleased, especially for the great price point.

This is a mild, no bite, easy to work with tobacco. It is great to mix in with other tobaccos to increase the burn rate without really changing the flavor profile. On it's own it is no flavor bomb but it is certainly enjoyable.

I ordered 4 oz. of Sutiliff's offering of Navy Flakes because I found the large, long slices to be intriguing. The smoke wasn't really disappointing, just not intriguing. It's a solid representative of Navy Slices, not spectacular. Don't get me wrong, it makes for a nice smoke. I was just so enamored of large slices I fooled myself into expecting them to be borderline erotic. That's not a knock on them. As always with Virginias, they should be smoked slowly for best flavor. I'm going to pick up on 8 oz. this week while P&C is running the $2/oz. sale on all Sutliff bulk tobacco.

This tobacco gave a totally different smoke experience in a bog pipe than it did in a briar pipe. Blends well with a wide variety of tobacco and smokes great by itself too! I prefer it in a bog pipe.

Excellent Virginia flake . My all day smoke

I have never written a review before, but I feel compelled to write one about this extraordinary tobacco. It is extraordinarily mediocre, so mediocre that it is sublime. Stonewall Jackson once tried buttering his bread. He decided that he enjoyed it so much, that he should never butter his bread again. If you have such a personality, then look no further for an all-day, every-day smoke. I myself do not have such a personality; I love this tobacco for two reasons: The first is that it has almost no flavor of its own (it does have a slight hay-like note). It burns cool, lasts a long time, and has a mild nicotine content. This makes it perfect for blending. I like to create Perique- and Latakia-heavy blends. Those tobaccos can be challenging to smoke straight, but this Virginia nicely rounds out the flavor and burn characteristics of Latakia and Perique (I like to use 25% to 33% Virginia with 66% to 75% Perique and/or Latakia). The second reason is that I love my pipes. I care for them, treat them well, and they provide me with an immense amount of pleasure. Each has different characteristics—a different personality if you will—and work best with different tobaccos, packing techniques, cadence, etc. Each block of briar is unique, and smoking this tobacco allows me to taste the unique flavor of each briar, to become intimately familiar with each pipe itself. I feel like I am smoking the pipe rather than smoking tobacco in the pipe (note that I am not talking about the flavor you get from overheating and scorching the bowl). It is an extremely sensual experience. However, with that said, if this tobacco were to have nothing but this tobacco available, I would quickly become bored and quit smoking.

This is a nice tasty flake. It has a nice sweet grassy flavor that holds strong through the end. I plan on keeping this on hand.

Not bad once dried out. Too fragrant right out of the bag.
