If tobacco review websites are any indication, many smokers gravitate toward pleasant smelling aromatics to garner (or simply maintain) favor with the opposite sex. If that is your method of operation, you can't go wrong with this one. Sutliff's Casanova is a mixture of flavored black Cavendish, Burley and Virginia sure to catch the ladies' attention. That is, in a manner far more conducive towards domestic tranquility than those Latakia blends.
This tobacco is very rich with aroma seemingly the tobacco is very weighted antakes up very little bowlspace per lb. Taste is really up to par with my favorites. Girlfriend says it does not smell the best and she has yet to smell Molto Dolce

1. Mac Baren Seven Seas Black --- No bite, good flavor while and after smoking, good room aroma.
2. Macbaren HH Old Dark Fire Ready Rubbed --- No bite, good flavor while and after smoking, good room aroma. Takes a little handling to prep for smoking.
3. Sutliff (Altadis) B37 Casanova --- No bite, good generic flavor while and after smoking, good steady burn, and good room aroma.
4. Lane Limited BC-A --- Good but not quite as flavorful as the Mac Barens or Sutliff Casanova nor as good a room aroma. There is no bite and a mild aftertaste. It is a little more difficult to keep lit.
5. Sutliff (Altadis) Classic Chocolate --- Nice aroma and a little more flavor than Sutliff coffee tobbaco. Burns fine and little bite. Lingering vague aftertaste.
6. Gawaith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Dark --- The small ribbon burns well and does not bite, but it has little flavor, aftertaste or aroma.
7. Newminister No. 201 Straight Black --- Mild aroma. Little flavor or bite. Burns fine.
8. Sutliff (Altadis) 203 Coffee --- No taste or aroma of coffee. Ashy flavor. Not good to my taste buds or tongue; some bite. It burned fine.
9. Cornell & Diehl Dark Chocolate --- No taste or aroma of chocolate. Ashy flavor. Not good to my taste buds or tongue; some bite. It burned fine. Read Less
