Jim's Sutliff Crumble Cake No.6 Phantom Privateer Review.

[FurCoat]

I know they are different tobaccos but when I read "tangy" I instantly think of Mississippi River.

Sounds a lot like Cringle Flake. I'm passing on this one.

It's still under SPC's holiday sale.

That's saying something. I liked Cringle Flake just fine but Match Victorian is better in my opinion and easier on the wallet.

It is nothing like Cringle Flake. Different Virginias, different perique and higher perique content. CF didn't have burley either. No rum in CF either.

I agree on all counts.

 

[pappymac]

I ordered 4 tins.

Not even similar, in my humble opinion.

I screwed the pooch and placed an order last Friday, completely forgetting about this release.

It sounds like everything I want in a tobacco, how “limited” do y’all think this blend will be?

 

[Jbrewer2002]

I have 4 tins on its way. I look forward to trying it. I also found some of release #5 on pipes and cigars. Ordered a few of those also to try.

It's sold out when it is sold out. This one by virtue of the barrels it is aged in.

 

[Cigar2Pipe]

Sounds great

 

[Chasing Embers]

Probably the only release of it. Already listed as discontinued.

 

[krizzose]

That didn’t take too long

Probably several 10 tin orders.

So far, best Sutliff tobacco I've smoked. It's like a better version of Watch City Slices.

Wierd branding on these 2 latest sutliff releases. It is odd to me they broke the artwork pattern in the crumble cake series. I would expect consistency.

I would expect consistency.

Welcome to pipe tobacco, probably trying to reach a broader audience. I do like the crumble flake cut though. It reminds me of WCC Slices in that respect. Six big flakes to my first tin so an average of three smokes per tin for me.

We challenged them to try something new on our podcast and Jeremy accepted the challenge and asked my friend to do the art. Jeremy's brother did the art for Birds of a Feather and for Pipe Force. They are trying new ideas.

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed you go for a special or limited release. Gotta be the pirate theme! I passed, but now I kinda want a tin. Enjoy!

I sometimes get Saint Espresso and Scarecrow and I loaded up on Christmas Cheer every year back in the day. The ghostly pirate theme did have a hand in it, just look at my avatar and banner but it dropping when a sale was on was icing on the cake. I happened to have the perfect pipe for it as well.
