Sutliff Private Stock Kentucky Planter Tobacco Review



(Pips Magazine) ... Upon cracking the tin I notice deep, nut and cocoa aromas with a coffee note deep in the background. As the blend reacts to exposure to oxygen, this rounds out into a very pleasant aroma that brings to mind the smell of instant hot-chocolate. Nothing overpowering, just a pleasant, light aroma that lingers on the sinus.
Slightly damp out of the tin, I find that a half-hour of drying time benefits this blend nicely although it isn’t required. It is a coarse-cut ribbon of coppery and nut browns, speckled with deep mahogany.
