Sutliff's Charlemagne, a simple aromatic of burley, Cavendish and Virginia, is an equally laid-back accompaniment to this season of sloth.!
It’s not every day a company makes a ‘cross-over’ blend that can pique my interest smoke after smoke.

Sutliff Tobacco Company, however, did just that in their blend entitled Man’s Best Friend. With a mix of burley, Virginia and latakia leaves topped with a mild casing of rum flavoring they managed to get things just right.
The tin note is rather pleasant with that every-familiar smokey smell thanks to the latakia as well as hints of sweet rum.
The man behind the Sutliff Tobacco Company claims that all of their tobacco is ready to go right from the tin with no drying time needed. That being said, it is almost true of this blend. I do like my tobacco a little on the crispy side but I can load a bowl quickly when I’m in a hurry and have as of yet to suffer from what I feel is slightly moist leaves.
Even so, my dry time only amounted to 10-15 minutes at most when I felt the need to enter my ritual of preparation for a smoke.
It takes to light easily.
