Sutliff Crumble Kake - Virginia Perique

Very pleasant good smoke

Spicy, vinegary, fruity, just a near perfect VaPer. Cake is loose pressed so rubs out very easily. Will want to let it dry a bit though to get the max smoking experience out of this one, it's pretty moist out of the tin. Smoked a few cans of these, new, and have a couple that I want to age for a few years.

I’m really satisfied with this blend the smoke has a excellent room note & flavor, the tobacco has just the right amount of flavor & moisture. Highly recommended!

Bought this, as I enjoyed the Perique in one of my English mixes, and "craved a little more. Also, my first foray into "Va-Pers", and I may not be a fan of that group, but being a Sutliff offering, it was a nice product, in and of itself. Burns well; just the right moisture....just not my favorite.

Slow burning like listening to Charles Mingus “goodbye porkpie hat” on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Dark and earthy applets raisen taste on inhale and deep chocolate/roasted almond on the back of the pallet. Smoke excellent room note of leather and freshly hewn hay. Paired with a rich red wine, let the world get your work done for you while you contemplate old friends.

Smooth, mellow inhale, I've had one bowl and, it lasted a long time because of packing the bowl as, the three step method and, crumbling to control the burn. My first puffs were mild, then I paused a minute and, the taste of sweet virginia was noticeable when, I was about a quarter down I could taste the spice of perique. The strength was enough to satisfy the tickle of an inhale but, I did'nt feel overwhelmed, staying mild to the last. This is some good flavor, could have tried this sooner, now I will know where, to turn for an enjoyable smoke.

Took a bit to find the right pipe to smoke it in. Bit tough to light. Rubs out well Stays lit Smooth, plenty of smoke and perique. Room note is good. Burns cool. Not to complex, but something there always cloying. Making you want another puff, right to the bottom of the bowl. Should celler very well. This is going in the rotation. Would like to buy this in bulk, for smoking fresh and aging. If Perique is your thing, you should like this. Just a good smoke.

Quite the smooth tobacco, generous amounts of Peirque tobacco wish I am very partial to, and two other tobacco blends which results in a very fine tin of pipe tobacco

Smooth and aromatic! Was my first time smoking this blend,my wife(who hates smoke)said she liked the aroma! Will definitely be ordering more!

Great tobacco. Crumble cake so easy to prepare and burns down to a fine ash. Flavor and aroma are spot on. Both the Red Virginia and the Virginia/Perique are outstanding.

Sweet, but not too sweet. Perique spicey but not too much. Easy to load a bowl and smokes real nice. A good VaPer.

Inhale the sweet aroma of delicious Virginia as you open the can. But what about the flavor? Fantastic blend, not overwhelming with Perique, just delicious. My only gripe would be the cost 0f this small tin and the fact that it isn’t available in a larger size. Otherwise it’s still in my top 3 favorites.

Not bad ! Good flavor, I like to crumble the tobacco. I still prefer Amphora Virginia Blend.

Its just wonderful i enjoyed it so much ill definitely be buying more in the future

I ordered this after reading a review by Jiminks on pipesmagazine.com. the service was exceptional and the baccy is such a great vaper. I definitely plan on buying more!!

Sutliff did their homework on this mixture. There is only one tobacco blend I've really, REALLY looked forward to trying this year, and this kake is the one. Mature, deep virginias are the backbone of this blend. With McClelland shutting down earlier this year lots of folk have despaired of ever finding a great red virginia, but Sutliff has positioned itself firmly in the lead. Considering the years involved in fully aging a great virginia, this took years of positioning, and with 515 RC-1 and these new kakes, Sutliff is turning heads. The sweet rich virginia is beautifully complemented by the perique. Have you ever noticed that in some VaPers perique has a distinctly peppery note (think LNF) while in others it has a rich fruitiness - like many C&D offerings? This kake is the best of both worlds. The dark fruit absolutely polishes the virginia, and the pepper is unobtrusive but present from start to finish. This isn't the best VaPer I've had the privilege of smoking, but it has the advantage of being in production at an irresistible price point. The quality of the virginias also hint at some truly epic smokes once this mixture's had some time in the cellar to rest. As a last observation, the kake is also well done from an engineering standpoint. Perfect moisture right from the tin, and the tobacco is an excellent size for loading with just a few quick motions of the hand. Home run. Perhaps a game changer.
