Rouxgaroux vs. Rhythm & Blues

[isaac]

Title sums it up. How would you compare the two? I recently received a sample of R&B.

I really enjoy Rouxgaroux and would really put it almost in a daily smoke category.

I find them both similar in flavor but the perique puts the edge to Rouxgaroux in my opinion

You'd love Sutliff's Match Elizabethan/Victorian.

Different blends to me. Little more of a bright/brown/mahogany thing with R&B, and very light in the perique. Rouxgaroux is a red VA/Per and red wine taste to me. Tangy and sweet.

Actually, Rouxgaroux has reds, stoved and bright Virginias with the perique. The red wine you notice comes from the casing on the red Virginias, which is the lead component. R&B has several grades of red Virginias and virtually an equal amount of stoved Virginia. As you note, it's very light on the perique.

I found Sutliff's Match Elizabethan/Victorian bland in comparison to Rouxgaroux and R&B. Taste differences I know.

Interesting considering Sutliff tobaccos were used to make Rouxgaroux.

Those two are among my favorites, each similar but different enough to enjoy both. Another close one to me is Simply Voriental.
If I want something pleasingly sweet that smokes with no effort, I'll grab one of those three.

I'm sure it's my taste. I have each on hand, but the Match Elizibethian is bland tasting to me. I don't have a thing against Sutliff tobaccos, I just don't get anywhere near the same taste in the two. LOL
They also smell nothing alike to me, so I figure that applies as well.

There was talk of a change in the blend a few years ago. All of mine is from 2017.
