I like a lot of Sutliff blends I've tried and find many of their match blends to be excellent. Smoking Sunrise at the moment.
They don’t have the ability to make em in Richmond, all cakes no flakes
Wowsers! That, my friend, is some savvy sleuthing! Thanks for sharing.
Ah thank you for that info. I had never ordered a 5 lb pack. Cheers.
I think most of the negative sentiment comes from people who just want to complain about anything and everything. You run into people who bash whatever brand they choose and then rant and rave about whichever brand they profess to be the best. Sutliff makes so many blends and as others have mentioned they supply tobacco and blends for a myriad of different companies that anyone who bashes their entire line up just shows their bias and lack of knowledge. Too many people also equate not liking a blend to it being made of "inferior" or "crap" tobacco which to me always reveals their ignorance on the subject. Smoke what you like and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Sutliff makes a ton of great blends.
507c is actually made my STG. However, Bengal Slices/ Fusilier's Ration IS made by Sutliff.
Well … Sutliff makes Edward G. Robinson‘s Pipe Blend, so they’re totally cool by me! 
I haven't really found a Sutliff branded bulk that appeals to me. I don't do many aro's and that seems to be a lot of them. I mostly smoke English blends and their offerings are...not my favorite. I do, however, like the Hearth & Home blends like White Knight, Black House, and 10 to Midnight which, I believe, are made from Sutliff tobaccos (Russ is a great blender). I believe they also make the Seattle Pipe Club stuff, while also not a favorite of mine, are pretty popular.
STG took over Black House but White Knight is still Sutliff. The bulk is Balkan Sobranie Original Match.
The jar was empty so I cracked a sealed tin. It has aged very nicely; I wish I bought more than I did.
Im pretty sure Sutliff wasn't a thing when I quit piping 8 years ago.
I haven't bought any tobacco in the year ive been back at it, I haven't even looked.
But, im about to make some purchases......do they sell in bulk?

I have bought and smoked many Sutliff blends over the years and enjoyed them. I have also been in a few pipe shops that claim they make their own blends and have seen bags of bulk blends made by Sutliff being directly placed into jars with "house" labels on them.
Over the past six or seven years though, I have gravitated towards European made blends - mostly made by either Dan Tobacco or Kohlhase & Kopp - that I like to smoke more often. That isn't a slam towards Sutliff, C&D or any other made for the US blends. In fact, I never figured out the hate towards Daughters & Ryan other than the fact that they started out making RYO tobacco.
I still have a few tins of Sutliff blends in my cellar and when I get the urge for a taste of out of production blends, I will buy the Sutliff Match Blend.
