Sutliff Private Stock Blend 5 Tobacco Review

 

(Adam J. Smith) ... The blend itself is presented as a rough-cut ribbon, boasting a rather healthy portion of dark (read: black) leaf; perhaps as much as 40%. This provides a base for the coppery- and chocolate- browns and tans of the other component leaf. My tin arrived slightly damp to the touch, and although it can smoke directly out of the tin, a few minutes time to air does not hurt this blend. Continued

The label appears to be an homage to Charles Demuth's 1928 painting (above) "The Figure 5 in Gold" - doubly appropriate as Demuth was from a family of legendary tobacconists in Lancaster, PA.
