Sutliff Eastfarthing
I like many of the Sutliff products both the aromatic like the Chocolate Mousse and the non-aromatic like Eastfarthing. But this one is perhaps my all around favorite for a general regular smoke. Complexity of flavors; a cool smoke with just a hint of sweetness; sometimes it even seems I detect a touch of cinnamon.

Love it
There were comments on another site saying it tastes like Frog Morton. I don't know what that tastes like, however, to me this tastes like Bengal Slices with less Latakia and more sweetness in the form of chocolate and vanilla cream. The Latakia is very mild here, you get hints of leather and some floralness (to me latakia tastes floral) but it's not blaring like most latakia blends. Lastly, it smells delicious when lit! No typical overpowering campfire scent that usually comes with Latakia. The low nic makes it a good all day smoke. Great for beginners and veterans.

Good Cross Over
This blend has a wonderful tin note that fills the air with a sweet, smokiness reminiscent of some whiskeys. It is pretty wet, so I would recommend giving it a bit of a dry out before loading up your pipe. The smoke is pleasant and full, though some of the sweetness fades and there is an occasional sourness that I can't seem to put my finger on. It does better if you smoke it slowly and keep it cool. I am told that the room note is not as good as the tin note, though better than most of my other English/Balkan blends. A good blend if you are wanting to explore the world of English blends but are nervous to make the leap. Not a bad blend, though I'm not sure it's that much better than many of Sutliff's bulk blends for the price difference, though I would buy it again. Note: It does tend to ghost pretty bad, so I would recommend smoking it in a cob, clay, or in a pipe set aside for experiments until you decide if you like it.

Perfect Transitional Blend for Aromatic Lovers
I thought I liked aromatics, until I had this blend. Now I like real tobacco, especially Latakia. When I want something that is sweet but still English, I have this great blend at hand. This blend tastes and smells amazing.

Top 5
This English/Aromatic, or American English I believe is what it's called, is one of the best attempts at balancing out the flavor ratio of the Latakia to the Aromatic flavor that I've tried in a while. Eastfarthing and Cult Embassy are probably my two favorite Aro/English blend (aside from Frog Morton cellar but we can't really count that anymore) If your a fan of English/Aromatic blends, do yourself a favor and try this, you won't be disappointed.

Eastfarthing
Perfect crossover. I’ve dedicated a pipe to it. Not a really close match the the frog, but In the neighborhood. Great medium strength flavor with some vanilla sweetness. If you like sweet-smoky you’ll love this. Great room note, exactly what one imagines pipe smoke should snell like. Good price too.

Frog Morton Cellar or Its Own merits?
I found this blend to be an extremely pleasant sweet aromatic English. Very creamy, smooth, and flavorful although not a lot of weight to it in terms of oriental tang that other English blends have. It is a little goopy on first opening (I think it has a little molto dolce style vanilla in it) and I would recommend 20 to 30 minutes of dry time to curb this. That being said I find this blend highly enjoyable when I want a mellow English blend. Will anything replace FMC? No. But this definitely scratches the itch for me and is a blend that has its own merits
