Anyway, the fi St bowl was great. No bite even when pressed hard, and a touch of sweetness and nuttiness that reminded me of a VaBur - imagine a MVF and white burley blend. I don't get DFK or cavendish from this at all. It doesn't really taste like VaBurs that I've tried before though - neither nutty nor treacly.

Had a bowl last night in my Tsuge sitting in front of the White House as I'm in DC on business. Whatever it is, but his is a medium bodied blend that is light on the vitamin N, which do any really speak much to burley, but that is what I get. In the end, I would absolutely have this again. It is an easy burning blend that isn't overly complex - perfect for a morning bowl.
You smoked some SPS French Quarter


French Quarter is another of Sutliff's wonderful recreations of missing blends, this time recalling House of Windsor's Bourbon Street. Burley, Virginia and black Cavendish form the base, and a singular top flavor is added for an old-fashioned flavor and room-pleasing aroma.
