Sutliff Cringle Flake 2023 1.5oz

The latest release in Sutliff’s eagerly awaited, seasonal series of pipe tobaccos is Cringle Flake 2023. This remarkable blend features a combination of mature, ten-year-old Red Virginias, Perique from the 2003 harvest, and carefully stoved Katerini leaves. Right from the opening of the tin, this festive mixture offers a profound and rich flavor that promises to develop even more complexity over time. In this creation, entire leaves are carefully pressed into dense cakes and then cut into substantial flakes, an approach that not only enhances the aging potential of the blend but also accentuates the distinct characteristics of the stoved Katerini. The blend’s natural sweetness is beautifully balanced with a spicy, invigorating backdrop, creating a layered taste profile that includes hints of stone fruits, warm earthy spices, and a touch of molasses.
