Sutliff Tobacco Tin Descriptions

[loborx]

Been reading the tin descriptions of the new Sutliff Private Stock blends over at smokingpipes.com. Wow! Altadis must have hired a hell of a copywriter! Each one is like a little pipe story. Looks like they did some rewrites on many of the older blends as well. Fun! ::

I seem to be one of the few impressed by the new sutliff blends!
The tin descriptions are always a pleasure to read!

Bubba, I like them too. I also liked that they ditched the comparisons of their blends to other "lost" blends ie. "CD Blend is like Country Doctor, No. 5 is like My Mixture", etc. I like No. 5 for what it is, which is nothing like My Mixture. Bacchanalia is a tasty aromatic and it doesn't have a trowel full of casing dumped on it.

Their descriptions remind me of the J. Peterman catalog from Seinfeld. That said, I like those of their blends that I've tried so far. Plus I can't argue with my B&M's pricing on them ($2/tin!)

Yeah there's a couple Sutliff blends I've been meaning to try, Maple Street and Molto Dolce. Probably pick one of them up at the next pipe meeting.

I've tried Maple Street and wasn't impressed, but No. 5 was really good. Yeah, it's nothing near 965. But on its own, without any comparison, it is a tasty blend.

I was totally engrossed in the descriptions, and even with my sarcastic mind, decided to believe the rhetoric. I got "Country Estate" and it is now one of my go to tobaccos.

Your not alone bubba im smoking the No. 5 blend as i type this and plan on ordering several more of the english offerings they have on payday. They seem to be pretty good to me. I have had better and worse. I enjoy them though and the price is right for me to.

I liked maple street and navigator ?... My son took it and dumped it by the swing set... It was a all black smoke. I have 4 other blends I have to try!!

Best Friend is replication of Barking Dog which I find very good. I really miss some of the old burley blends. Altars does a very good job in keeping us happy. Kudos to them.

Gonna have to order some Best Friend. I remember Barking Dog as being quite tasty. But then again some days I think I remember the invention of dirt.
