Not sure if it's part of the beaten path; however Sutliff Private Stock - Golden Age was one for me. I received a bag of it from the Free Pipe Project, and it was my first experience with a VaPer. I am not sure of the age, so it may be different right out of the tin. When I opened it...I couldn't hardly stand it. I HATE the smell of vinegar and that was the first thing I picked up. So, I put it on the back burner for a while. Finally gave in, smoked a bit of it...and wasn't happy. Couldn't get the vinegar smell out of my mustache, but the taste was so much different. I went back for more....then more...and before I knew it, I was out. Compared to Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture, it stomped it even with it's weird smell. I need to get more, but it's not been on P&C and that's where my orders have been for now.
In short, Sutliff Private Stock - Golden Age after a bit of smoking was one of the better tobaccos I've smoked in general so far. When I get to a point where I start storing tobaccos and have what I like down, I will certainly have to get 3-4 to age and a couple to smoke.
