Only match I've personally tried so far is the edgeworth Ready rubbed, which is a good all day smoke for the price
Give us some idea of blends you like and are looking for.
I recommend the BSOSM match all day long. 759 match is tasty as well. Revelation match is a complex codger blend worth trying. I like 965 match (20) but it's not very much like the STG version at all. Very mild. Elizabethan match (Victoria) is also a good VaPer if you don't mind aging it up for a little while. Not sure if it counts as a "match" or tribute, but 515RC-1 is a fantastic tangy Red VA with a flavor that is obviously inspired by McClelland 5100. Those are my favorites from the line up.
Yes, Sutliff Match Victorian is an absolute must if you like Va/pers. Best value in tobacco on the market, IMO.
Just my opinion, but my experience with most bulk Sutliff VAs is that they really start to come to life after a few months in a jar. They seem muted to me straight out of the bag. Could just be a moisture thing.
What do you think makes it better than all others?
I think fresh the leaf is immature.
Peterson (or Dunhill) Elizabethan is better.
And dude... you like some very questionable tobaccos.
Match Elizabethan/Victorian has a lot of four star reviews. Jiminks being one. You also say Exotic Orange tastes like a strawberry air freshener.
Match is more like Murray's and more balanced.
Everybody has unique tastebuds! And y'all are both amongst the uniquest???
Mixture 79 outlived Balkan Sobranie original, McClelland, and many others. Think about that.?
The 965 match is quite good. Others have mentioned the Balkan Sobranie Original Match is excellent. I'm smoking it right now. I never had the original but this is very good.
Don't feel bad that @BROBS thinks one of your favorites tastes like a Strawberry Shortcake doll! He says two of my favorites, Mick McQuaid and Warrior Plug, taste like playdoh and bile, respectively... I'm thinking some kindergarten experience scarred him for life!?
Unless I’m confused and their is a a relation I’m not aware of I was referring to the Match bulk tobacco that Pipes and Cigars sells for around $2.30 and oz not Surliff.
