Sutliff: Cringle Flake 2020 is Out

[cohibajoe]

SP, TP and Cup O' Joes at this time. Pickup 10 Tins as 2019 is Yummy...

Sutliff's Cringle Flake Holiday Edition 2020 presents a blend of blackened, 10-year-old Virginias with 17-year-old Perique. Given the individual vintages of each of these components, the mixture offers an exceptionally mature flavor right out of the tin, a deep richness similar in character to a 10-year-old Virginia/Perique. That maturity is further augmented by partially cavendishing the aged Virginias, steaming them for one hour before they're combined with the Perique and pressed into delicate flakes. Naturally sweet with a spicy, piquant character, the result is incredibly complex, with notes of stone fruits, earthy spice, and molasses dancing across the palate.

sounds interesting - was trying to get some other thoughts on this one - saw you posted this just ten minutes ago

I have almost finished a tin and can say this reminds me of McC 2015. Not exact but damn close and I don't usually compare to McC because nothing is ever close. I will be cellaring this for sure.

Jiminks says it's the bomb and I believe him.

Bought 20 tins last night. Given the special nature of the components, like that aged Perique that Mark Ryan released a few years back, the best damned Perique I’ve ever smoked, I wasn’t going to screw around.
10 years of aging should have deepened the Red Virginia nicely.
I figure it will be a great smoke now, and meld nicely over time.

You've almost finished a tin of the 2019 release or the 2020 release?

 

[mikefu]

I grabbed 15. Really looking forward to giving this a go!

My thoughts exactly. As a Red VA and big Perique fan, I had no choice but to throw my wallet at this one.

I grabbed 20 tins, that should last me for a long time.

2020 release SP and TP waited until today. Iwan Ries and some other small B&M had them earlier

Seems SP and TP sold out. Got some last night.

Still available at Cup O Joe's.

We'll have to see if this is really sold out or just the first wave. It's 7,000+ tins with an order limit per customer. I suppose it everybody bought the limit that would knock it out pretty quickly.

Well thanks to you enablers, I just ordered 6 tins (from P and C...let's hope they're here by Christmas!). This past month has been terrible for my wallet!

You'll be glad you listened when you smoke it.

Picked up three tins myself, two for myself, one to pop for this holiday season, one for the cellar for next year, and one for a gift to a friend. I’m sure it’ll be a swell smoke.

I have no doubt, Jim. Your reviews have rarely led me astray.
