HU - Makhuwa 100g
Itchi tchilongo vizuri
I enjoyed smoking this. It was a tad milder in taste than Nyala, obviously, but still good. Had a nice room note and after taste. It burns easy and stays lit. Nice summer blend, and it pairs great with coffee.

HU - Nyala 100g
This Nyala Runs Fast!
I tried Makhuwa and enjoyed it, but this is one level up on Makhuwa and the reason for that is the cigar leaf! This is a great summer blend. Burns cool, great flavors and awesome room note, BUT it burns fast. Too fast and I’ve tried to keep my cadence to sipping, and it’s best when sipped from a tall narrow bowl. Great stuff!

Sutliff - J4 - Burley
Best Burley By Far
I tried this when I got the 8oz bag fresh from the postman, and thought it was OK, I even used it to blend with some South African Virginia tobacco, and that gave the blend some complexity and balance. The remainder of the bag, I kept for 4 months and forgot about it. Two days ago, I reach for this bag and fill my Vauen pipe, and what BLISS. Nutty, with a chocolate aftertaste. I feel such a fool for not ordering more of this. I just ordered G&H brown twist and C&D Billy Budd. I think my next order will definitely be 16oz of this before it vanishes!

Sutliff - Spiced Rum
Rum on the tongue
This blend was so smooth, from the char-light all the way down to white ash. No goop, and no fuss. Great room note, and delicious flavor. It’s very mild and I have inhaled it with ease! If you love aros, this is one of the top gems!

Sutliff - Revelation Match
Stinky but sweet
I enjoy the flavor of this blend, and all the interesting nuances in flavor. I have tried it in different pipes, and it definitely shines in a wider bowled billiard, which allows for that ever so sweet citrus taste to shine through. However I rate it 4/5 because it has won me no friends in the room note department. It will be a shame to see this blend go.
