Sutliff Pipe Force Episode I 1.75 oz.

The Latakia - forward English mixture offers plenty of smoky flavor from the fire-cured leaf, which is artfully harmonized with floral, earthy Stoved Rustica. A mixture of high-grade Virginias imparts a natural sweetness. Katerini, the sole Oriental component, offers herb and spice notes bringing complexity and nuance to the flavor profile.

Stoved or Cavendish tobaccos are often thought of as the vehicle for top flavoring. Though this is certainly a fine attribute, the wonderful characteristics imparted from the stoving process can be easily overlooked. Pipe Force illustrates just that with stoving of two varietals for the first time, Rustica and Katerini.
