Sutliff Crumble Kake - Red Virginia is a new release that will make many Virginia lovers who are looking to fill the gap left by the departure of McClelland's Virginias very happy. Ripe, matured red Virginia cut leaf is put under pressure, forming large blocks which are then cut into easy to prepare plugs. All you need to do is pinch off a piece and it will easily crumble into ribbons. Sutliff Crumble Kake - Red Virginia delivers a toasty flavor with some tang and is smooth enough to enjoy all day. If you like straight Virginia with better-than-average body, you'll want to get some to enjoy right away and a bunch more to cellar, because this tobacco will only get better with age.
I found this blend to be an excellent smoke with great flavor & room note, the cut is just right. Highly recommended!

Tin note is vinegar… Smokes
Aug 29, 2021
Tin note is vinegar… Smokes well when rubbed out and air dried or for folding air dry solid flake 1 hour. Flavor is bitter hints of vinegar in the smoke but also vibrant definitely has a lot of bite for a novice pipe smoker such as myself. Came in nice kake cuts no shake in package.

I have tried many, many blends and this has become my favorite. The tin note is strong with vinegar, but the taste is nothing like it. Although it does remind me of bbq from North Carolina, or I should say middle North Carolina where they use a vinegar/tomato base and sweeten it a bit. Probably going to half to order it in bulk.

Perfect Virginia
Apr 30, 2020
This is a perfect Virginia blend. It has all the attributes that make for a perfect pipe tobacco. I love it by itself but do step it up a notch by adding a small amount of Perique. Wonderful body and palate along with burning well. It is also fun to rub out the kake.

A Good Virgina Tobacco
Aug 03, 2019
I'm mainly a burley smoker, but a couple of years ago started trying Virgina tobaccos. My favorite was McClelland 5100 that had some age on it--unfortunately didn't stock up on it. Crumble Kake Red Virginia out of the tin is a little too tart and citrus-like for me. However, about a week or so after opening, it seems to mellow and is a pretty good smoke.

5100 Replacement

This is as close as I have found to McClelland's 5100 Red Kake Virginia. I am down to 4 lbs of that. I wish this came in bulk as well as tins.

Decent Virginia

Rubs easily, but the cut is thin. It smokes hot and wet if you’re not careful.

My new standard Virginia

I'm working through my second tin of this excellent tobacco. If you like Virginia flakes, you'll like this too. I hope to see it in bulk soon.

Wish I had purchased 10 tins. The hell with ageing , smoke it now and enjoy. You won’t remember what it tasted like 5 years from now so why wait.

Smooth smoke
Dec 08, 2018
If you’re in to mellow Virginia pipe tobacco, this is the blend for you. The fact that it’s crumble cake adds an interesting layer to the experience. Very smooth, slightly high in moisture so I would recommend drying it a bit. Definitely will order again.

A great find

Fantastic Virginia - I was blown out of the water by this tobacco. If you love Virginia's, you MUST try this. Sweet, mellow and full of great flavor (Could be McClelland). I'm on my 3rd tin. A true Crumble cake that rubs out with very little effort and smokes without re-lights.
