I've had a lot of those but I'm looking for a replacement for those two and I cant find them.
Sutliff Molto Dolce & CBRM Alternative?
- Thread starter Coreios
- Start date
I don’t mean to discourage you, but I wouldn’t hold out much hope for Autumn Evening. Cornell & Diehl is the House of Burley; it’s a rare C&D blend that doesn’t include that leaf.
Don’t expect to find exact duplicates of those blends from other manufacturers.
But, also, it’s not reasonable to expect a very close copy if the blends are based on different leaf. They will inherently taste different. If the “replacements” you’re trying don’t include burley, then there’s no way they’ll taste the same or deliver the same smoking experience as a burley-based blend. That would be like expecting a ham sandwich made with whole-wheat bread to taste the same as a sandwich made with sourdough.
Frankly, if you cannot tolerate burley in any quantity at all, I think you’re going to need to consider focusing more on straight Virginias and on true English blends. There are some “crossover” English/aromatics that also might be smokeable for you, but a fairly safe rule-of-thumb is that if it has added flavorings it’s likely to include burley.

Sorry, your right it's made with burley, but it's not harsh and to be honest I don't taste the burley.
Maybe check out GH&C American Cherry Vanilla. It’s an aromatic that I really enjoy. I used the search filter on the SPC site that another forum member mentioned earlier, excluding Burley, and it can through as an option. Maybe it will work for you as you look for something to replace CBRM. Good luck.
That SmokingPipes filter is really cool, but it's only as good as the input data. In many cases, not all the components in a blend are listed, so the Exclude feature results should be taken with a grain of salt.
I would take your candidates from the search results and double-check on the manufacturer's website or TobaccoReviews to see if burley is lurking in them.

I was skeptical, too…but I couldn’t find a single review that mentioned burley, GH’s own material mentions only Virginias, and the reported nicotine strength of the blend (very low/mild) suggests to me that either the burley content is very low or nonexistent.That SmokingPipes filter is really cool, but it's only as good as the input data.

Thats solid advice man thanks.That SmokingPipes filter is really cool, but it's only as good as the input data. In many cases, not all the components in a blend are listed, so the Exclude feature results should be taken with a grain of salt.

Without any burley in the blend you're going to have a very tough time.
So let's try a different avenue. What about those blends are you liking? The vanilla or cherry flavors or more the addition of a flavor to tobacco in general?
I like the cherries in the Cult, in the other I get coconut. I bought Sutliff Coconut and it's very similar to me. I have Vanilla stuff and it doesn't taste like Molto to me.
Without burley being involved I can't think of anything that will produce the body of smoke those blends have which will also affect the taste.
I will however recommend a few blends I like that you might at least enjoy:
Dan Tobacco - Sweet Vanilla Honeydew
Capstan - Gold (Flake or Ready Rubbed)
GH&C - Scotch Flake
All should get you around the burley issue. Both the SVH and Gold are best smoked cool where you get most of the flavor. The Scotch Flake is a different animal even from what you're asking about as it's chocolate but it does have a nice body to the smoke which you might really enjoy.
Hope that helps.
Molto Dulce is Creme Brulee in bulk. I know this because I've smoked both, and the man who created it, Sutliff's retired master blender, Carl McAllister, confirmed it for me when I asked him about it.
Thanks! I have a Burley allergy but honestly thats one I like enough to deal with it occasionally. Definitely gonna stock up on it then.
