P&C had a Peterson sale going. That, plus the 20% coupon that got shared on here made it too good of a deal to pass up.View attachment 364285
Definately wise to stock up on Peterson, we got a heads up they'll be evaluated for sales in a few years so this is a good way to make sure they stay in production.

Honest question, do you find the quality of theirs to be better than the Peterson/Dunhill Elizabethan or is it just a price thing? I've never tried it but I've seen this (anecdotally) seems to be one of their most popular bulks/matches... just wondered why when the "original" is still readily available...
It’s completely different than the Peterson Elizabethan. The Sutliff is a match for the Murray era Elizabethan (which I’ve never had).
I tried the STG Elizabethan and couldn’t even finish the tin-one of the few tobaccos I’ve ever tossed, it was so bad. I think the Sutliff Match Victorian uses their tangy Red Virginia, which I love and will sorely miss when it’s gone.

Pretty much all the match blends have been axed by STG but ironically a few years down the road we'll probably start seeing matches for some of the stuff they got rid of. We might even get some really good stuff that started out as an attempt at a match but became something new entirely. Silver linings

Today I picked up 6 oz of Luxury Navy Flake from my local shop and I just finished jarring it up. Now my long term goal of having a pound of LNF cellared has been accomplished. A pound isn't much for some people but I won't be smoking more than one jar a year so it's going to last me a long time and I'll be able to see it's legendary aging in action. I feel guilty doing this after spending so much on tobacco this month but every time they sold out it took months for them to restock so I said screw it I'm finishing today. I'm hoping this will be my last pipe related purchase of the year.
