Afternoon everyone, had some Watch City 558 in a Yello Bole with my morning espresso, now having Pete’s 2019 SR in Christine. I have some Sutliff Va Slices sitting in a ‘69 bent Donegal Rocky at the moment, I’m hesitating because Va’s usually bite me. Oh well, faint heart nee’r won fair smoke so let’s get to it.

The Sutliff 507 Va wasn’t what I was expecting, no bite at all and quite pleasant. I never read tobacco reviews until after I smoke them so I’m not influenced and can make my own mind up. However I agreed with what I read on reviewsonline. Still not a straight Va fan but this gave me a different perspective.
Wait until you try some aged. It ages extremely well.

I've smoked plenty of WH Bar but never Green. I added a tin to an order this morning. What are your thoughts on Green?
I'm still deciding how much I like it. I've been enjoying the regular War Horse Bar over the past couple of months. I find the flavorings a bit over the top compared to my usual preferences, but also kind of strangely craveable, and the flavoring mellows out as you get into the bowl. Well, the War Horse Green kicks it up a notch. There is a very prominent additional flavoring added to the Green, anisettee I think. If you've had the current version of Bengal Slices, it will be familiar, though it is more intense in War Horse Green. They say the component tobacco are the same in the regular and green bars, but the green does not seem as strong to me, in terms of nicotine. Might just be my perception, though. All in all, definitely worth a try, but not sure I'd get it again, while I'll almost certainly continue to buy the regular version.

Now smoking Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3 in a Savinelli Series III lumberman.

Sounds like it might be right up my ally. I am a fan of anise and liquorice flavored tobacco. I'm still looking out for that elusive G&H Liquorice Flake.
