The best there ever was. RIP

Just When I Thought I’d Found The One

May 31, 2025

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz

I’ve tried hundreds of blends looking for my holy grail after the death of McClelland. Had a lot of success with Sutliffs red and black Virginias. This was one of the closest things I’d found that even remotely close McClellands sweet tangy vinegary flavor profile (ketchup?). Im half convinced that the only way to even get that flavor from tobacco at home is to put ketchup on it and let it dry (only half joking). I’m not 100% convinced that that isn’t exactly how McClelland did it, given that some people assert that all they did with this is spray vinegar on it. But who really knows. *sigh* another great blend / company down and another reason to find a different hobby. If it wasn’t for C&D I’m not sure I’d even have a reason to pick up my pipe anymore....Read More

Disappointing

November 10, 2024

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz

It is typical red Virginia, pardon the oxymoron. Usual red Virginia taste with its dark overtones. It is not sweet. Burns rather slowly. Taste is consistent from the beginning to the end. Strength wise it is closer to mild than medium. It is not pipe dependent. Tasted pretty much the same in briar or meerschaum regardless of pipe shape. I found it monochromatic and quite honestly boring. I do believe it would be better used for blending and mixing rather than smoked straight. Since the demise of McClellands I’m looking for the substitution for my favorite straight Virginia blends. Unfortunately, this one will not do. The search will go on....Read More

Not worth my time nor $$

February 18, 2024

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz

I gave this a try based on the reviews I saw. Very very disappointed. Out of the tin it was a bit more moist than expected, as many others have noted. So after breaking up the cakes last nite I let it air dry for about an hour +/-. This afternoon I loaded up an Italian poker; relatively deep. For at least the top half of the bowl it smoked hot; hot on the tongue. No discernible taste to me; none of the others in the lounge noted much aroma. Just not my cup of tea. Not surprising given that I usually am drawn to English blends and even more so to Balkan blends. I will say the rest of the bowl did smoke down to mostly gray ash; a bit of dottle. But as to taste? Nothing really discernible. No, I will not be buying a pure red virginia again. Experiment not a failure; confirmed for me not my cup of tea!...Read More

Strength is mild

February 04, 2024

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz

The various aged, fermented red Virginias provide tangy dark fruit, quite a lot of earth, some bread and wood, a fair amount of tart lemon and tangy citrus, a little sugary stewed dark fruit, mild grass, a couple pinches of spice, and extremely light floral and sour notes. It’s soft, very sweet, fragrant, and easy to prepare and smoke. This is a remarkable smoke....Read More

awesome!

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz

Tin note of pungent sweet, vinegar and sugar. Tobacco is a Krumble Kake of reddish brown with flecks of tan. Moisture content is good. Kake breaks apart and rubs out easily. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of sweet bread, tart and tangy stewed dark fruit, very savory, wood, floral hay, spices, sugar, vinegary fermented sour, citrus, slightly acidic, a lemon grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Great all-day smoke

Product: Sutliff Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz

I got this on a whim, because Sutliff can be a little hit or miss for me. This one is a solid hit! Nice complexity for a straight Virginia, & I love it with my morning coffee. I've smoked it in many different pipes, but my Comoy's 87 Zulu gave the best smoke especially when you leave it a bit chunky. This helps to keep the burn slow and the smoke cool. I will buy again & want to try the VaPer!...Read More

HEAVEN IN A TIN!

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 that 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 More
