504C Aromatic English

Sutliff 504C Aromatic English is a ribbon-cut bulk blend combining the softness of an aromatic built on black cavendish and burley with the smoky depth latakia provides. The maker's description characterizes it as both an "aromatic English" and a "leathery aromatic," describing it as standing at the intersection of the two categories.

The latakia ratio isn't high enough to turn the blend into a heavy English mixture; black cavendish's sweetness remains felt beneath the smoke throughout. Suited to those wanting a soft entry point into latakia blends and to those trying to move from aromatics into the English category. Since moisture runs high, letting it sit before packing changes the burning balance.
