Don't understand the hate
December 06, 2018
Product: Mixture No. 79 Mixture No. 79 1.5oz
I can't understand why everyone seems to hate this blend so much. Yes, taste is a very personal thing, but negativity is so prevalent that it cannot be justified - at least to me. Certainly an all day smoke, with a flowery aroma one can only get the ... Read More

Solid traditional aromatic
July 09, 2018
Product: Mixture No. 79 Mixture No. 79 1.5oz
I respectfully disagree on the low rating for this tobacco. 1st time I tried it, it's quite way different than all aromatics out there. I know this is probably the most polizing blend if all time. But please hear me out. Smoke this blend for 3-4 day... Read More
s in a row and it will reveal some plums,florals, sweetness and unforgettable aroma that you will not find elsewhere (except from German aromatics like spring water, wild geese and the like) i tried smoking a tinned version of this from the late 60s to 1970s, and it's a superb blend. I am not smoking this daily, but this one deserves a special place in my rotation. So I am giving this a solid 4 stars. Read Less

One Of The Best & Most Popular Blends For 88 Years!!
May 24, 2021
Product: Mixture No. 79 Mixture No. 79 1.5oz
A Customer Service Rep at Smoking Pipes told me Mixture #79 is one of their most popular and best selling pipe tobaccos in their history! A little more research showed it’s been one of the most popular nationwide since it first came out in 1933! Why... Read More
? Because it’s one of the best tasting and smelling aromatics to a majority of pipe smokers since it’s release!! I love it and started keeping it in my rotation since 1974. I began smoking it and nothing else since 1976 and never looked back! I found my best friend for my best friend! Mixture #79!
The multiple flavors that rotate through smoking a bowl never tires, always taste fresh, leaving me wanting another bowl as soon as I finish the last! Sure, I’ve tried English, Balkans, and their many clones; most sour tasting weed as soaked in pig urine and over priced. No wonder one of the most popular blends in England is Carter Hall.
My favorite is Sutliff Mixture #79! Sweet, never a bite, multiple flavors melding in and out.
Ignore the snobs! Try #79 and if you like/love it enjoy! If not, then you’ll know! Oh! And if you want to try Dunhill blends, go to Peterson. Dunhill only sells cigarettes now. But Mixture #79 is still here for you...going on 89 years! Try it! Millions love it! Read Less

My father in law mixed his own pipe tobacco. He mixed two part Mixture 79 to one part Cherry blend. Got me on it as well. Left a great non-bite taste in your mouth and a wonderful aroma to boot

One pipe full was all I needed.....yuck. Tasted like laundry detergent to me. Room note was very floral. As I said......YUCK!
A nice mellow burley blend
November 09, 2020
Product: Mixture No. 79 Mixture No. 79 1.5oz
I know this is a very polarizing blend and I have seen a lot of jokes about it and I get it. This blend is a little different, but I actually love it for what it is. I think it absolutely sings in a cob (as do most Burley blends in my opinion) The to... Read More
ppings are a little stronger than in a lot of the other codger blends, but I find them to be very pleasant in their mixture and without that horrible chemical taste. It's a little nutty, a little sweet, plenty of creamy smoke with just a little floralness, plenty of anise and a little bourbon. it takes a few relights to get it going. but once it's lit, it's an almost effortless smoke, with a fairly consistent burn rate. it's a bit chunky in the cut, but packs easily in spite of that. I smoke this at least once a day, usually in the morning with a hot cup a joe or Earl Grey tea. Keep an open mind and enjoy! Read Less

Whisky, Vanilla and Anisette, but the Lakeland is gone
February 15, 2020
Product: Mixture No. 79 Mixture No. 79 1.5oz
This is another blend that has been greatly improved. I've tried it a few times over my 55 years of pipe smoking. Always with disastrous results. Recently, I bought a pouch and noticed major improvements in quality and taste. The major difference is ... Read More
the lack of the lakeland flavor, which most people, including me, detested. The tobacco still needs a lot of drying before smoking,
but well worth the effort. The Whisky, Vanilla and Anisette are delicious, but you can still taste the burley. I will always have some of this on hand. Read Less

Better....

Product: Mixture No. 79 Mixture No. 79 14oz
This blend has definitely been tweaked ! While its still am aquired taste it is easier to smoke these days. It used to be very soapy and pefumey, it still has that quality about it but more subtle. Its heavier in the liqorice department too, the ext... Read More
ra anise did it justice though. You do get a kiss of vanilla here and there and if you air it for 15 minutes before hand it smokes cooler. At times this reminds me of another old codger blend, VIP !
VIP was a birch flavored burley/ virginia blend and it was sweet. Mixture 79 does have a birch beer taste about it on and off. There is something floral that is added which to this day i still cant put my finger on, but it is now more laid back. If you take your time with this blend you will enjoy it, its just not for everyone. Those who can get througj the first pipeful, you will find yourself reaching for 79 more than you anticipated. If you somewhat like it at first it will grow on you, if you hate it you will never pick it up again. To me its a nostalgia smoke and i do enjoy the anise flavor and vanilla in the aroma. Read Less

This is quite like the bulk version, except the aromatic flavors are stronger and it's a bit more moist. An excellent blend that pipers should try.

I bought six pouches of this stuff just over two years ago and never tried it, never did anything with it, so it's just been sitting in my cellar. By chance I decide to give it a whirl today, and it's great. I've been missing out. It's really good. I... Read More
'm not a huge aromatic fan but I do love burley mixtures, and this one doesn't sacrifice the quality burley to deliver a nice aroma. The topping is lovely in the tin/bag note, not an overwhelmingly strong or medicine-y punch in the nose as many aromatics give you, and its flavor in the bowl is rather subtle. It doesn't drown out the natural flavors and aromas of the burley, which, IMO, is one of the most versatile and underrated leafs on the scene. Sutliff uses some quality stock in this mixture too, so there's much to be explored and enjoyed here over two or three bowls sipped in a row. I applaud Sutliff's choice to stick with straight burley instead of adding cavendish or virginian leaf. It redounds to the very classically American, i.e., "codger" character of the mixture, which immediately transports me to an idyllic, sunny, summer day on the farm. I can hear the grasshoppers in the field and smell the tall grass. I can see puffs of dandelion pollen wafting by on the lazy breeze. It's the perfect thing to break in a new cob. And since I like it so much, I think I'll buy some more just to see if perhaps I've let it sot too long in the plastic pouch. Maybe it's even better if I jar it fresh and age it that way. Yes, yes, this definitely calls for more research. Read Less

This is maybe my favorite, number 1. Like others advise, it’s best when sipped slowly in order to bring out all the tastes. I like the licorice taste, it’s not cheap or overpowering, it’s simply a good taste.

ht floral-ness. It is not complex nor particularly strong, but its one of those blends that you can smoke easily with out thinking about it, whilst doing other things. The taste is pretty consistent and doesn't change throughout the bowl, but I enjoy it for what it is. Don't overthink it and you may enjoy it as well! Beware this may need a little dry time and can bite a little bit if pushed to hard or not dried out enough. Read Less

Beer and anise. Birch Beer tastes like a combination of root beer and wintergreen, so this is definitely birch sap extract. This flavor doesn't come across in the smoke as strong as the pouch note, but smoked at a lower temperature certainly coaxes more of that flavor. There's bit of perfume or floral nuance on the back end too. Not Lakeland strength but it's there. I do not like Lakeland, so if I like this then it isn't a perfume-laden, geranium oil mess like some of Gawith's Lakeland scented tobaccos. Push it and puff a little faster will negate the wintergreen nuance and reveal more molasses and anise. The molasses and anise, which is ever-present, marks an old fashioned quality to this. No bite, no PH issues, just smooth and mild. Definitely an all day mixture with a distinct flavor. Think I'll buy a tub and a dozen more pouches. Nicotine is 1 out of 5. Read Less
