Sutliff Private Stock Eastfarthing Pipe Tobacco

I am participating in the Sutliff Virtual Pipe Club tasting this blend as I speak. I received this tin from tobaccopipes.com about a week ago who is sponsoring this event. Upon opening the tin, I am greeted with a strong pleasant somewhat vanilla liquor smell. This is a coarse ribbon cut with dark, medium brown and a little light tobacco in the blend. I will have to agree with some other reviewers in that this tobacco is extremely moist but I did not allow any drying time. I have read more than one review mentioning Frog Morton’s Cellar. I smoked a few bowls of the frog about a year ago but too long ago to try to compare. Not sure if this was blended to be similar or not but I am reviewing on its own merits. The second bowl, be right back. It is cold, dark and rainy out on the porch and this is California. The second bowl started to grow on me now that I know what to expect and enjoyed it more than the first one. The boss says she likes the room note but not in those words. She says it reminds her of food, I said it is probably the vanilla. It is a good blend, I enjoyed it with my coffee and was a good choice for the evening, very mild in the nic department. If you really like aromatics give this one a try and thanks again to Sutliff and tobaccopipes.com. Smoked good in my Meerschaum.

Tin note enjoyed. I had high hopes. Expecting a warm vanilla fruit in a cav./Balkan blend. Good room note on first light and first few puffs were good. Further, into the bowl, I got tired of it quickly and experienced that familiar aromatic letdown. Smoked one more bowl in my truck, and there she sits(somewhere in the back). Later, I packed one of my favorite Balkan pipes up to smoke and discovered severe ghosting from the Eastfarthing. A lesson learned, and for now, no more, but I'll jar it up for later, and give it a try down the road. Thanks, Sutliff, you and your club are awesome, even if I honestly don't like this blend.

This tobacco smells cheap, tastes (what little there was) cheap, and is cheap. I do not recommend.

A very nice and quality tobacco blend that comes from Sutliff. I am not a big fan of crossover blends but this one does get it right. Not something I will smoke regularly but something I will buy it when the mood strikes me.

Mellow, slightly aromatic, vanilla-tinged hint upon opening. For a light English, the wife tolerates well. Cool smoke and will get again.

Good taste. Pleasant room note. A little too humid upon first opening. It was hard to light and keep lit. After drying out a bit, it was excellent.

I ordered Eastfarthing as part of Sutliff's virtual pipe club. I can't even describe my new found love for this blend. All I can tell you is that if your reading these reviews because you're on the fence then stop being a wuss and just order it. I burned through my first tin in a few days and have already ordered more. This is one you'll want to stock up on. I promise.

A fantastic blend from Sutliff. A tin of Eastfarthing was given away at the Richmond, Va Pipe Show in October 2019. The Latakia does not overpower the Virginia’s and the Stoved Burleys. Very well balanced. A joy to smoke and will only get better with age.

Nice flavor and great aromatics. Overall a very easy and pleasant smoke.
