    Nice link Kevin!

    I have received the free tobacco from them before. They will send it (it might take awhile) and it is always good to try different tobacco blends.

    This thread was started a while ago, but I guess they are still sending it out.

    The samples I got helped me qualify for the new "Drug Store Group".

    I got 3 - 1.5 oz pouches each from the Tobacco Galleria line; Wild Cherry, Blue Note and Fox & Hound.

    I haven't tried them yet, but I am not too picky. I was thinking of sending them to Dek as a present though.

    Do not give up hope. I got my free sample yesterday, and it was a tin of Sutliff Private Stock no. 5 Blend. Let me say that it is a fine blend indeed. The price could not be beat, and the timing was perfect. Hurray! I do enjoy free stuff. Especially a can of fine English pipe tobacco.

    Mick I received my can of private stock no. 5 the other day also. I have not smoked it yet, but it smells very good. I was surprised they send a whole tin. I was expecting a smaller sample.

    Oh oh I did two surveys one for my hookah and one for my pipe but did them under the same address. I got the hookah stuff in but not the pipe. Am I going to miss out on the pipe opportunity since I put them under the same address?

    You'll know for sure in about 3 years.

    Not sure what "system" they use. But it certainly makes for a nice surprise when you get something.

    I doubt they are overly picky about sending 2 different samples. I read something that they are looking to this samples program as one of their key marketing strategies given restrictions on advertising.

    There's a tin of Great Outdoors in the southern box.

    I got a tin of great outdoors a couple of months ago .The blend is a nice smoke , not great . In two years they have blessed me with a free sample twice. Way to go Altadis .

    I just filled out the form. Hmmm I wonder if they'll send the Maple Street? Whatever I get, I'll share with the club and report back here what everyone thought... I have to say - it's a brilliant way to get on people's radar.

    I filled out their survay about three years ago and never heard a word. I got two samples at the Richmond Show last year and found them bland.

    I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

    Can also get free samples from tobacco trader by calling them at 310-823-5831 and telling them you wanna try their Savannah blend.

    I just received my sample. I requested and got a sample of Altadis Maple Street - a whole tin. Looking forward to trying this tonight in my new Missouri Meerschaum "General". A review of this tobacco can be found here: http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=M&TID=3559

    My First Impressions of Altadis Maple Street

    The 1.5 oz tin doesn't say Altadis but rather Sutliff Private Stock. It reads "Quality Mixture with Flavorful Maple & Old Rum" on the front. When I cracked it open and took a whiff, I caught a light maple and golden rum scent. After several more whiffs, I also detected a hint of walnut. I packed my brand new Missouri Meerschaum "General" cob about 3/4 full, put the leash on my dog and took a walk to the park to my favorite west-facing hill just before sunset where I plopped down in the grass. I lit my pipe with a charring light and then a second light and puffed about every 5 seconds. The tobacco smoke in the first third of the smoke smelled pleasant, like a lighter version of what I experienced earlier, with a decent amount of tobacco flavor coming through. The sun was setting and the sky was pink fading into purple with battalions of clouds marching into the distance. The smoke from the cob were white and puffy and remained so until the end. In the middle of the smoke, the tobacco taste and smell, which was quite mild, took a more prominent role with only a hint of maple. It was a nice cool summer night to enjoy a pipe - there was a bit of a breeze and the leaves on the trees were dancing. In the last part of the smoke after around 15 minutes, I was picking up a faint taste of cake. I decided it was somewhere between a chocolate brownie and a pancake. In the final few puffs, I noticed that the smoke clouds turned into more of a steam and smelled like corn, which was from the stem of the cob that protrudes into the bowl on new cobs until it burns off. After I let it cool down, I saw a little bit of dottle, hiding under the stem, but most of the tobacco burned off into black flaky ash and white powdery ash.

    Conclusions: A fine aromatic for those who enjoy a mild tobacco and don't want a sweet mixture. The description on the can was accurate. Smelled and tasted wonderful. Burned evenly. I would recommend it and I will buy this again.

    Joseph that was a very poetic review. Sounds like you really had a good experience.
    But, I'm a little confuzzeled. Is it called Altadis Maple Street or, does it have a Sutliff Private Stock number?

    Thanks - it was such a nice evening, I just had to share the details.

    Regarding the tobacco, I had ordered it from the Altadis number. I was a little confuzzeled too, but I went to the Altadis website and read that Sutliff is a sub-brand. "In the true tradition of providing the market the best tobaccos available for over 160 years, several traditional old-style blends have been brought back to life by Altadis under the brand name of Sutliff Private Stock." -JP

    I filled out the survey after reading this thread about a month ago and promptly forgot about it. I get home from work, ate dinner, and as my wife was getting ready to GO to work, she says, "Your package is over there."
    Puzzled, I responded, "Package? I haven't ordered anything." She replied, "Well, you got something from Dream Castle." I looked at the envelope and sure enough it says Dream Castle on the return label. Drawing a complete blank, I see that the contents are cylindrical. I pull it open and inside is a tin of Sutliffe No. 5, which is supposed to be their version of Dunhill's 965. I didn't try it yet since I had bought some other stuff on the way home, but I will and let you know what I think...

    How do they check one's age? I'm old enough for any and all tobaccos galdurnit!
    If it is honored-based...I guess I'll be fudging just the slightest bit.

    When you crack that puppy open, let me know what you think.
    Our tastes tend to be similar.

    I just received my Tin Of Blend 5. I haven't popped the tin. It is supposed to be in the 965 style. Reviews state that is is no where near 965, but ok in its won right. Some say it is terrible.

    It was free so no worries
