5100 fans, this is it

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
I have been able to alternately smoke this with 5100, and though not identical, it is a satisfying reasonable facsimile with many shared characteristics. Sutliff set out to recreate McClelland blends with this series, and since McClelland got some of... Read More
their leaf from Sutliff, it isn’t that much of a stretch. This lacks the initial tin note, though it is similar. The product rubbed out looks identical and smells close. One notable difference is that this is smokier. It has a little bit more bite, maybe because of moisture and my smoking cadence. Halfway through the bowl I forget which one I’m smoking, because there is little appreciable difference in taste, and the aroma, while different, is still very pleasing. Highly recommended. Read Less
Sutliff does it well

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
As a lover of Virginias (reds are my favorite), I can say this was a worth-while purchase. The tobacco seems to be of great quality, and the tin aroma is a cacophony of aromas like plum, hay and cherry (though I detected no topping/flavoring at all).... Read More
The flavor is definitely pure VA, and while I enjoyed it very much, I could see this mixture benefiting from 6-8 months in a mason jar, which I will be doing with some. The aroma (dare I say it) is somewhat reminiscent of my beloved #5100 Red Cake, which I smoked every single day for 8 years before the tragedy. lol...The only real criticism I have is concerning the moisture content out of the tin; it was quite moist. I would suggest letting it dry for 30 mins+ before packing it. All in all - if you love a solid, all-day VA, this may be a good option for you. Read Less

Quality Red Virginias, a little baking spice, and when not dried too much there's an apple cider vinegar flavor to it. Very pleasing.
Outstanding...

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
This is an outstanding Virginia with a subtle fruitiness of tart apples from the cider vinegar. I smoked this in an Old Dominion Chesapeake as I thought a small bowl would be a good choice. One of the most enjoyable smokes. As someone who prefers a m... Read More
ost bold smoke, I found this sweet, light blend a welcome change. All the flavors you want in a Virginia with the added subtle tartness of cider vinegar. Quality blend indeed. Read Less

The product description above does an apt job at describing this tobacco. I'm new to the world of straight VAs and still getting used to the flavor profile. I never did get to try any McClelland VAs, but if they were close to this one here, I can see... Read More
why so many people loved them. This will certainly find it's place in my cellar. Read Less
Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
It's pretty tart. But also sweet as you would expect from a straight Virginia. I get flavors of hay and old lingering perfume on damp leather. Much more going on with this smoke than I expected. However, while I wouldn't say it bites, it's extremely ... Read More
tart on the tongue. Much too tart for this smoker. Read Less

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
This one came as quite a surprise to me. Notes of both orange and apple cider. I'd normally only expect that kind of flavor from an aromatic. I'd easily recommend as an autumn blend, and hell, it might just be one of my new favorites.
So sweet

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
I’m new to pipe smoking but have hit it hard right out of the gate and really enjoy it. I have about 12 tins of different assorted tin pipe tobacco’s and about 12 bulk tobacco’s that I’ve been trying to find my preferred tobacco. I can say honestly t... Read More
hat this is my favorite so far! Absolutely amazing taste. It’s zesty, tangy, fruity, slow burning, relaxing with no tongue bite. This is by far the most interesting tobacco I’ve smoked. I will be buying much more. Give it a try, if nothing else you’ll enjoy how unique it is! I could smoke this all day. Read Less
What I have been searching for

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
From the moment I popped the tin and got a whiff of this baccy I had 5100 flashbacks. While not identical I have found nothing else that comes this close. Bravo Sutliff, this fills my 5100 void wonderfully.
First review, I had to!

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
I’ve been a pier for the better part of 16 years, on and off through periods. Over time I have made the mistakes all pipers make at the start, leading me to not really appreciate the finer points of tobacco. After learning how to puff using the re-Br... Read More
eathe method, this tobacco just opened up a whole new experience and love of the hobby for me.
Immediately, the tin note has a strong apple cider vinegar note that compelled me to pack a bowl immediately. I was worried it might be too wet, but rubbing out the cake was just enough.
Upon first light, I get a bold sweetness that reminds me of fresh sourdough rolls. That comes and goes, and is always a pleasure. Throughout the smoke, the Virginias are soft and mellow, no bite in my experience. The nicotine hit isn’t much, but it does the trick. Burns cool and smooth, clean white ash with little moisture.
A very pleasant smoke for me. I will buy as many tins as I can. Read Less

很酸很酸，我赞叹这款草的设计巧妙，用舌头就能简单的尝到这醋一样的酸味，或者酸李子或者酸苹果，也许很多人喜欢甚至挚爱，但这不是我要的味道。

This was the first VA only blend that I smoked...I purchased 2tins,jarred them for about a year and a half so far...in that time,it has become more light lemony/cinnamon mellow,and deep brown,hay,slightly bready..must be smoked slowly,as all VA tobac... Read More
cos must be smoked..but when cadenced,will get cool burning great flavor,no tingle..nic hit is low to medium...flavors,nic really come to life in last portion of bowl...I like this as a once every few weeks as a morning smoke with coffee..this is high quality aged VA tobacco...still have 3 thick flakes..easy to prepare,burns slowly.. will definitely age well,as it has shown over the last year and a half..costs a bit more but good investment for VA fans.

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
I am an avid virginia smoker with red virginia my favorite. I was on the hunt for another quality plain red just to see what other brands had to offer as my favorite go to has always been Carolina Red Flake (CRF) from C&D. Hands down, in my opinion, ... Read More
CRF has this beat. This Crumble Kake (CK) is extremely mellow at first, far more mellow than CRF, but after about 1/2 a bowl, it starts to bite a lot, with no real increase in boldness, while CRF starts out relatively bold without any bite through the entire bowl. Furthermore, even though no one says it has been cased, you can tell it has. Also, at the end of the bowl you get this sort of funky ammonia flavor; that may or may not have to do with the casing, I don't know, but it caught me off guard for sure. For the price of only 1.5 ozs, for a cased red, I would probably prefer to stick with Interlude by C&D which is a little cheaper but you get 2 ozs of it.
Update after one complete tin of it: Probably won't buy anymore of it...sorry everyone that likes it, it just isn't that good of a red virginia, there are far better reds out there for a lower price. Read Less
One of the best

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
This is an amazing tobacco. I know a lot of people compare it to 5100 but I think it's a lot better. I always thought 5100 had some pg on it. This smokes dry and cool with a very satisfying red va flavor. Tins were $5 at the corps pipe show last year... Read More
and I wish I'd bought wasy more than the one I did to try it. Definitely a much higher quality smoke than I expected from sutliff. I also like the perique version. Can't go wrong with this one and I'll definitely buy more. Read Less

I'm almost too afraid to leave this review because I don't want the secret out. This is absolutely my favorite daily smoke.
Decent daily smoke

Wasn't sure what to expect with this Crumble Kake Red Va. but I can say that it is pretty tasty and has a very unique room note. It rubs out well and burns well with no excessive moisture issues. It does get a little harsh towards the end of the bowl... Read More
but not too bad. The tin note is what I find is the most pleasing with it's faint aroma of dried plums, raisins and a tangy bbq finish. It's definitely worth trying! Read Less
Red Virginia

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
A basic red Virginia, sweet and a little earthy. Good all day smoke. Comes out of the tin in 2 dense blocks, wet and needs some drying time.

A very sweet and vinegary blend that is sure to please any Virginia fan out there.
