The mild to medium plum, fruit/rum-like topping does sublimate the tobaccos a bit. The Virginia has a light hay taste, and is a condimental addition. I didn't get much nuttiness from the burley, which is more molasses sweet than earthy, and is the lead component. The vanilla from the black cavendish drowns out the other tobaccos a bit. Has very little nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns cool, clean and a little slow as the tobacco is fairly moist. Has a consistent flavor. Leaves a bit of moisture in the bowl, and requires some relights. Has a very pleasant after taste and room note. An all day smoke that's more of the dessert kind.

My friend told me if this blend almost similar with the Molto Dolce, but more mild taste and flavor. I hadn't smoke the Molto Dolce yet so i cant say my friend is right or not but one thing that im sure to say is this blend is little bit dissappointed. Have a nice and good smell when i open the tin but the baccy is very wet, too moisture, so need more time to pack and get a proper moist level. The taste is mild and bored, just made me feels to finish the bowl fast. There is nothing special that made me joy accept the room notes is very pleasant and my wife and my son very love it.

I finally broke open a tin from the P&C goodie bag this year, which included three tins of Sutliff lesser known blends. So first up was the Charlemagne and the tin note was light and the fresh hay aroma was quickly confirmed by the appearance. The Burley was prevalent and some strands of colorful Virginia were easily spotted, what was sparse was the lack of Cavendish. I took this as a good sign that this wouldn't be another blend over powered by an aromatic topping. The ribbon cut was moister than most, and actually took over an hour to dry enough for a proper bowl packing. Checking the aroma on the drying plate before filling the bowl was actually much richer, sweeter and more pleasant then when opened.
Char light was fairly uneventful given the Cavendish, I expected a powerful puff. A bit musty from the hay tones of the burley. True light brought on the full flavor and this is a burly straight off the bat. The Virginia is barely noticeable other than it's cooling, and hard to decide if the flavor past the hay and slight nuttiness is just the Cavendish. Passing the half-way point the flavor has remained constant and the sweetness of the Virginia and Cavendish holding on well, especially as it rolls through the nose.
Burning well and not too hot for a ribbon cut there was no bite. There were no relights and just a few tamps. Drying this down a while is defiantly a good ideal, and paid off with this blend. By the end of the bowl the Burley was all that remained. For a ribbon this was an unexpected long smoke which I would credit to the leaf quality, that quality the saving grace. The remainder stayed mild and a little nutty to the end. finishing up with a white and gray ash.
The tin should have read, Burley with a small amount of Virginia and a hint of Cavendish. This is really just an OTC sweet Burley with better quality tobacco.
