Sutliff Hill of Slane, St. Patrick's Day Blend

From an email I received today from Sutliff.​ ​ Coming to a Retailer Near You​ Friday, March 10th at 6:00 PM EST

Here's What Our Reviewers Have to Say

The various grades of Virginias provide light tart and tangy citrus, grass, bread, sugar and floralness as the lead component. The nutty, earthy, woody burley is a supporting player. The sweet Irish Cream offers mild vanilla, a few nuts, and a light, bitter cocoa note. It tones down the tobaccos quite a bit, but doesn’t totally drown them out. The strength and nic-hit are mild. The taste falls a step short of the center of mild to medium. There’s no chance of bite or harshness. Has a few very light rough notes. Burns cool, clean and slightly slow with a very consistent creamy, tangy, mildly fruity, nutty, lightly bitter flavor that extends to the moderately lingering, pleasant after taste. Has a pleasant room note, too. Barely leaves any dampness in the bowl, and requires a couple more than an average number of relights. A fairly easy going all day smoke. Three stars. -Jim

That sounds good. I may pick up one or two tins. Thanks for the post

Also in the email.

One very lucky Duine (person) is going to purchase the special tin. Inside that tin will be a Gold Coin and instructions on how to redeem the precious gift! Will you be the lucky one?

No problem. I didn't know they used it or the photo.

The old Wonka gimmick! Love it.

A reason to avoid a tobacco when they send out a gift with it.

Grabbed a couple.

I really hope someone here on the forum receives the gold coin. I'm interested to see what the gift is.

Ordered some, why not! Will fit in with the celebration next week.

A trip to the factory with a close friend. @jeremyreeves will be trying to intercept you before you get there and get you to steal the recipes. If you blow him off and remain true to Sutliff, you’ll get the keys to the factory, you get to keep all the minions who work there, smoke all the tobacco you want, and ride the Sutliffvator at your leisure.

Blends combining Virginia and burley have a probability of being successful. When I have done my own mixes, that is always a good bet, tweaked with whatever condiments you like -- cigar leaf, Cavendish, etc. This sounds like a good bet. It works either way, with Virginia or burley as the base, and the other as generous proportion of condiment.

I wonder if there is an expiration date in clamming the prize. Some poor chap cellars the the tin for 2 decades only to find sutliff no longer exists

They’re banking on it.
