Quality of Sutliff Tobacco

[anotherbob]

As stated by @anotherbob, snobbery isn't that your preference is based on a better quality, it is thinking your preference reflects you choices as a person versus others. I tend to run the other direction as a human being. That is, I tend to favor all things Low Brow. My own blend of tobacco for the last four decades is a mix of Lane BCA and Sutliff Nougat. My go to pipes are an unmarked second and a beat up Paronelli that has seen better days. Cigars...I smoke seconds and lean toward the shop brands. My coffee is Folgers on most days. And when I go shopping for wine, I drive up to Ralphs and find something under $5.OO.

Do I have "fancier" things? Yeh, but I won't tell you about them. It's a little embarrassing and to be honest, I wouldn't want to be defined by those choices. I know my roots and I like where I hail from.

I can relate to some extent. Tea I can't stand the stuff in bags but coffee I am going to buy what's on sale and worry about if how well it handles my caffeine addiction. Pipes and cigars? I like more of them then I don't, from blends that get raved about to ones that no one seems to mention outside of punchlines. Wine it's funny I can tell you the differences between them but don't find more pleasure in the fancier ones.
And really though I don't think you should be shy or ashamed of your Beanie Baby collection or the fact that you have so much money sunk into the hobby that you can't buy a nice pipe or buy a too many tins.

I've got about 40 lbs of Sutliff blends in my cellar...

The brand has been around for a hell of a long time.

They're one of the major players in the tobacco business, and have been for decades.

So, you're kind of an inverse snob??

I've known a few of those and they're just as silly as the regular type of snob. They're proud of the fact their palate isn't refined in any way. That all their pleasures are simple. And when I say proud I mean in the shitty way of feeling somehow their arbitrary choices and tastes make them inherently superior to others. To me it seems as silly and lame as if I thought I was better then other guys because I find brunettes sexier in general then blondes.

For the record, I am comfortable in most any setting.

But... I have way too many friends in MCs and I value their friendships. But it wouldn't go well to put on any airs in front of them, that is for sure.

I know its Ernies recipe but whoever makes WCC Slices gets an A in my book cuz that stuff is damn good. Match Victorian is also good, as well as Cringle Flake.
