Sutliff Tobacco Company Crumble Kake Limited Edition No. 5 Rustica
(3.43)
In the early 17th century, John Rolfe procured seeds from Trinidad, cultivating a milder tobacco than the harsh Nicotiana rustica then being grown in the colonies. Thus set in motion Nicotiana tabacum’s dominance in most all tobacco consumption to this day. However, equipped with a modern knowledge of tobacco processing, the hearty Rustica has found a place in the blender’s arsenal, and it now finds a home in our Barrel Aged Series with Crumble Kake no. 5.
Sun cured to retain the leaf’s natural sugar, Rustica is joined by zesty Virginias and nutty Burleys before being aged in a bourbon barrel. Finally, it is pressed into a crumble cake, mellowing and melding the bold mixture. With full body and flavor, Sutliff Crumble Kake no. 5 delivers a rich smoking experience.

20230313 edit: coming across as somehow vegetal, but weak in character. With large pulls the vegetal quality and bitterness are more pronounced. Trying to think of what I'd rather be smoking, and i think I'd rather smoke almost any good burley over this. If this were a nicotine powerhouse, like on par with five brothers, I may smoke this over that, not even sure. I guess as a nicotine delivery vehicle alone, it's pretty good. If you want relatively heavy nicotine with little harshness and find the other heavy hitters to be offensive, maybe try this. No guarantees though, i really don't think it's great.
Tin note is hard to place, struggling to find an applicable descriptor. The smoke has a mild but unwavering bitterness, and a slight sweetness. I could see black tea in there, maybe leather. Not finding much Virginia character.
Not sure about this one. It definitely is unique, haven't encountered this bitter-sweet combination before, but I find myself looking forward to the end of the bowl. The smell of the smoke elicited the strongest response from my wife yet, waving her arms wildly and yelling at me to get away -- worth trying for that experience alone. Pretty sure this won't be a repeat purchase.
Nearing the end of the bowl, I've failed to find anything further worth mentioning. Very boring.
