About This Pipe Tobacco

Sutliff's RL-BD utilizes the same components as their Man's Best Friend blend and combines toasted Burley cubes, premium Latakia, and yellow Virginias. It's then cased with a subtle rum topping, creating a flavorful smoke that delivers a pleasant room note.

This is, obviously, one of the numerous clones/replicas of a one hundred (plus) year old blend. I still have three pounds of Match Barking Dog and RL-BD too. It is very mild, slightly sweet, and unoffensive. All of my Sutliff, and even Mac Baren, blends are locked away; not getting smoked often, for them being discontinued. The last of it, I ordered, was labeled RL-BD instead of Match Barking Dog. This RL-BD seems more mild, less tasty, and more moist & sticky than the Match Barking Dog I've previously received. I do enjoy having some from time to time, because it just has the ability to take me back in time; it's just a good comforting smoke. But I rate it at 3.5★ (average/good) for the last of it I received. Previous to this later RL-BD, I would easily give it 4.0★ (maybe a bit higher) for being good...yeah, just good....Read More

Package note of smoky, rum, and lemon. Tobacco is a mild of cube, course, and rubbed out flake. The brown and black tobacco has a little tan, and moister content is high. recommend drying a bit. Burns slow with many relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of rum, that stays with the smoke to the end. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of smoky, incense, mildly sour, very woody, toast bread, buttery nuts, tangy citrus, musty dry vegetation, spice, a mildly bitter lemon zest background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Burley supporting and Virginias are keeping pace. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Mild. This is more a two star in strength, so not sure why Smoking Pipes places three stars. It's smoky and mild - like Lanes HGL but milder. The rum topping's a bit sweet, but it's also distraction. It's not satisfying in the least... it's smoky and slightly sweet hot air and leaves a sweet taste on the tongue... the dreaded PG aftertaste. Not one I'll have on hand, but it's good to try. Nic is 1 outta 5....Read More
