Sutliff Old Professor is sold as an English blend but many reviews classify it as an aro-english. I disagree with the latter and think it's an English, albeit quite a mild one. I tasted no hints of anything sweet or aromatic. I smoked it in a Rossi Vittoria pot.
Observations:
2/5 stars.
Cheers y'all.
Observations:
- Grab bag of tobacco cuts. Shag, ribbon, large ribbon, twigs.
- Nice and pleasing smoky campfire taste, but very mild. By no means a Lat Bomb. Take some Latakia and turn it down to 5.5.
- The Orientals are equal to the Latakia, yet also very mild. Some spiciness, but Minnesota Level Tater Tot Hot Dish "spicy" aka mild.
- Some lemon/citrus came through in the last half of the bowl.
- No sweetness or Black Cav or anything similar came through for me to classify this as an aro-eng.
- I had a hard time keeping this blend lit in the first half of the bowl, despite drying it out over an hour to a crisp feel. One other review on SPC noted the same. Perhaps user error or today's higher than normal humidity. But I gave my Bic a workout.
2/5 stars.
Cheers y'all.
