Lavish English #17

Coded SPS-17 in Sutliff's Private Stock line, Lavish English is a ribbon-cut English blend that combines Cyprus latakia and perique with Virginia, black cavendish, oriental, and white burley leaf. Latakia forms the blend's backbone but doesn't dominate the ratio; cavendish and a light vanilla topping add a rounded sweetness to the smoke, while perique leaves a spicy twist in the background.

Its character is medium-bodied and cool-burning; suited to smokers seeking smoky flavor without the intensity of heavy latakia blends, and to those wanting a balanced English blend for all-day smoking. Because of the topping's presence, it sits apart from what those expecting a fully unflavored English blend might anticipate.
