Sutliff Dark Decadence begins as Green River Burley which is sweetened, fire-cured, and then steamed. At the finish, it's infused with a special combination of flavors, including dark fruits and warm vanilla. The result is a sweet, rich smoke with a crowd-pleasing aroma, and gentle enough to enjoy all day. Black Cavendish fans will fall in love with Sutliff Dark Decadence.
I bought this 2 years ago, tried it, and set it aside because I didn't like it. But I was a new pipe smoker and I hadn't learned about moisture. Stumbled onto it recently, in its original bag. Fired up a bowl on a whim, as it seemed to have cured a bit and wasn't so gloppy. What a difference a couple of Wisconsin winters made! This is really good. Appropriately named even. Good burn through and through... Its Burley roots are there, topped off with more than a hint of plum, black cherry, blackberry, a whiff of vanilla. I found myself saying "this really IS decadent." When I found it, I also found some Lane Dark Red from the same old order. It had also improved, but I prefer the Dark Decadence. It's just a very satisfying, mellow aromatic with a good balance of tobacco and toppings. Highly recommend, with the caveat that it came very moist. You know what to do...

I was introduced to Dark Decadence by a friend at work to whom I introduced pipe smoking! He had been a rabid cigar smoker and still smokes them routinely as well. I liked the sweet flavor of this tobacco and although it is very similar to Lame Limited BCA it is different enough to be a pleasant change occasionally. My wife likes it fragrance as well.
