    Where to Go from Aromatics?

    Aromatics get a bad name here, for the most part. A little light aromatic topping that doesn't goop up and maybe even spices the flavor some is not a bad thing. If you are tobacco curious, you'll try everything you possibly can within your budget and schedule. Sutliff has basically anything you...

    A Match for Capstan Blue?

    I recently brought in some of this: https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/9327/sutliff-tobacco-company-sweet-virginia-707/ and it is really nice. The Slices are nice too. This is a broken flake, so, it's somewhat more pipe ready too.

    Sutliff Barking Dog in my Pride 2nd. I have some first quality Prides, too, but this old beater is my fave.

    Four Aces Red by Republic

    I've smoked quite a few burleys. I used to smoke Drum ryo for years. I quit smoking for 3 yrs. I still had some cheap OHM I'd brought in to try to save a nickel, and papers, so, in a moment of extreme stress, I returned to nicotine to help soothe in any way. I wasn't happy with the taste and a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Sutliff Match Barking Dog in my no name octagonal sitter. This pipe had to have had some hand work done on its stem/shank junction. It was included with a pipe rack I bought. It's ugly, but it is a good smoker. I another one yesterday, online, that was made the exact same way, but it was a...

    Whats the Coolest Smoking Pipe?

    I hear that these are cool smoking? Hookah? Did I see anyone mention the venerable Corn Cob Pipe? I think an unfinished Missouri Meerschaum pipe, like the Pride, smokes as cool as any Grecian Meer for a fraction of the price and a fraction of the elegance.

    Match Mixture 79, that's right Mixture 79, in my Sav Free hand straight grained Autograph.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Match Field and Stream in a salvaged 4 panel, square shank, no name, with a Grabow saddle cut stem. One of the first 5 briar pipes I've obtained back about 9 yrs ago. I broke the original square tapered stem attempting to give it a slight bend after heating it over a tea candle. It broke like a...

    Virginia is for Lovers......

    I'd say that Virginia varietal tobacco is more dependent upon good smoking technique to fully appreciate, than a blend might be. Often I find that contrasts help define one another. A Virginia might tend to bite more readily than a blend that included either/or cavendish, Latakia, Perique...

    I did the math. 83. I thought, WOW! Now this man is a certified codger! Then I thought...well shit...he's only 7 yrs older than me! um...wow. Curious to learn of this old and never before seen blend, at least to my eyes.

    Sutliff for the win! Match Victoria in my 'gifted' "O" grade Savinelli straight grain freehand Autograph. Thanks to the generosity of Chris Besse, of Red Deer, Alberta, CA.
