[quote]The Sutliff Private Stock Pipe Tobacco brand has been around for over 160 years. During the recent Chicago Pipe Show, Altadis unveiled several new blends that have at least one seasoned pipe smoker pleasantly surprised. See this blog post by Silvercloud, entitled, "The Big Surprise".
Here is some information on the new blends that have pipe smokers intrigued
The Altadis legacy of producing world class pipe tobacco has roots going as far back as the California Gold Rush. For it was in 1849 when Henry Sutliff opened the first of his shops at 832 Kearny Street in San Francisco. Sutliff’s shop initially boasted nineteen blends as well as prized Meerschaums and fine briar pipes. In 1950, a decision was made to move the thriving business eastward to be closer to the tobacco markets and in 1953 the current manufacturing plant was opened in Richmond, Virginia.
In the true tradition of providing the market the best tobaccos available for over 160 years, several traditional old-style blends have been brought back to life by Altadis under the brand name of Sutliff Private Stock.
Molto Dolce
Suffice it to say Molto Dolce is the Cream of the Crop. A rich and creamy texture of Vanilla, Caramel, and Honey is applied to Burley, Virginia, and Black Cavendish.
Barbados Plantation
In terms of quality Barbados Rums unquestionably rank among the world’s best. This superb blend of Burley, Virginia, and Black Cavendish reflects the Rum itself, sweet, smooth, and rich.
Man’s Best Friend - (Perfect for fans of Barking Dog)
Another American Classic in the English vein. Smooth toasted Burley cubes blended with premium grade Latakia and Lemon Virginia Flake. Cased with a uniquely mild rum top dressing to produce a subtle pleasing flavor and room aroma.
R-Blend - (Perfect for fans of Revelation)
This unique blend astounds with its dominant yet still subtle fruity notes. The base is an equally complex mixture of Burley, Virginia, Latakia, Perique and Flake.
CD Blend - (Perfect for fans of Country Doctor)
This remarkable blend is the cure-all for smoking nostalgia. Burley, Virginia, Latakia, Flake and Perique combine to provide that Old Time flavor.
