I am new and like Carter Hall. I was watching some YT vids about different tobaccos and came across one about Burleys. Carter Hall was spoken highly of but also Lane Ready Rub was mentioned great tobacco but you have to buy a huge tub.
The flavor of both are similar and the TR ratings are similar but LRR is all burley and I was curious if it smokes cooler since Carter Hall has virginia in it?
I can’t dish $50 in a tub, but have learned that Sutliff Match Edgeworth Ready Rub is the original recipe blend. Has anyone tried the Match version? Thoughts?
Carter Hall does burn a tad warmer than either Edgeworth match.
I prefer the Sutliff version to the Lane, and heavily stocked the Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match.
Here's my review of the Sutliff match if it will help you.
A straight burley blend that is nutty, earthy, and woody with a definite molasses flavor and a little cocoa. Has a mild nicotine hit. The strength is mild, and the taste is a couple of steps past that mark. Won't bite or get harsh, though it does have a rough edge, and a slight sharp note from the white burley. Burns a little slow due to being a cube cut; cool and clean with a very consistent taste. Requires a few relights, and leaves very little dampness in the bowl. Has a very pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. An all day work and play smoke that may not be complex, but has enough going for it to hold your interest. A good starter burley blend for someone who has never tried the genre.
This Match is very close to the original. I spent a weekend comparing the two versions. The original seemed a little fuller, deeper in the molasses taste, and that's the only difference I can tell. The cut and look of the tobacco is the very same. In a blind taste test, it would be very hard to tell which was which. I gave four stars to the original and this production.
