Sutliff Tobacco Company Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkin is the star topping, and the various spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and all-spice) contribute in an important secondary role. The tobaccos underscore the toppings, though you’ll notice them just a little more after the halfway point. I got bare hints of vanilla from the black cavendish, honey and toast from the gold cavendish, and very slight hay, citrus Virginia notes. The nutty, molasses sweet burley is also sublimated, but stands out just a little more than the other tobaccos. A hint of vanilla is also in the topping. Won't bite, or get harsh, and is light on the nicotine. Burns at a moderate pace, cool, clean and creamy smooth with a consistent flavor, though it may benefit from a slight dry time. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no goop. Needs an average number of relights. Not quite an all day smoke, but one that's repeatable.

Sutliff Tobacco Company - Pumpkin Spice.

Pumpkin isn't all too common a food here in the UK, it only really appears at Halloween, where it gets the 'carved into a scary face' treatment. So, with that said, I have very little experience with how pumpkins' taste, but I fancied having a smoke of this anyway.

The mixture's rather coarse, especially the pieces of black Cavendish. There appears to be a greater amount of Virginia and Burley, in comparison. Straight from a fresh pouch it's too moist, mine needed quite a good airing. P.S. lights up relatively easily, and gives a flavour that's a bit tough for me to quantify: it's about the most savoury tasting aromatic I've piped. At first, the pumpkin seems a little fruity, and very vegetable-like. As others point out, there's a notable nutmeg topping, more-so at the beginning of a bowl. To my palate the Burley offers the most flavour out of the three tobaccos'; there's only a tiny proportion of vanilla cream from the black Cavendish, and next to nothing from the Virginia. This is a strange one: at the start of my first bowl I was sure the pumpkin seemed a little fruity, but after a few bowls I think it's like smoking a marrow/zucchini!

The nicotine's mild, and the room-note's a touch unpleasant.

I'm not exactly a fan of this one, but, I'll give it a 'somewhat recommended' instead of a 'not recommended' because of its inimitable quality.

Two stars.

Ah September. You know summer is over when the temp drops below 105* here in Las Vegas and when you start to see the four star aromatic reviews. Something about the colder air and change of season hypnotize us pipers into either a bowl of essentially pure Latakia or an over the top aromatic concotion. Well i fell into the latter camp ordering a few ounces of Sutliff's Pumpkin Spice which is actually quite nice. Burley, Virginia and black Cavendish with a topping that to me tastes like Pumpkin Pie. A lighter aromatic that will not goop up the pipe and will please bystanders to no end.

No nicotine. A slight bite, but I am a heavy puffer. Pretty good about staying lit. I didn't taste pumpkin or cinnamon. Did taste allspice, or nutmeg, or clove. Or all three. I liked it and might buy it again. Pleasant when exhaled through the snork. Bystander approved.

I guess I'm in between the first two reviewers a bit. I enjoy the smoke a great deal, and I will be getting some to sell at the store my wife & I own. Still, this reminds me overall of somewhere in between a pumpkin soup, with some acidity, and pumpkin pie filling sweetness balancing about 60-40 (60% acidic taste/feel gets to the halfish balance that works so well in this blend. Neither outfavors the other, and the sour element leaves a relatively short, albeit pleasant, finish. The spice are present, but they are singing backup to the lead Pumpkn's nice balance. I detect flavors of nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon. Perhaps the slightest hint of clove. While I was aware of the black cav, it appears to be such a small percentage that, at the rate I smoke, I didn't pick up any vanilla. Should taste great on a cool Fall day. I can see it now... heater in my garage blasting, watching football from an ol' beatup recliner.

If you are familiar with wines that have higher acidic to them or more sugar can sometimes be called "dry' I'd say I get the same feeling when smoking this. You get this feeling when you rub your tongue to the roof of your mouth and its kinda gravely is the best description. No tongue bite, and the after taste in the mouth is slightly nutmeg and a hint of pumpkin. Retro-haling gives you the full flavor of this, which I have to say is on the fainter side, but enough to be enjoyable.

I would say this is the best pumpkin type blend I have tried thus far and it is well done.

Prep: Somewhat wet but nothing 10 seconds in the microwave couldnt solve. There are wetter blends out there.

I was quite surprised with this blend. I've become cynical with aromatics; expecting a delightful aroma with little in the flavor department. However, this one isnt bad at all. A vanilla flavoring seems to be the base while cinnamon, pumpkin, and nutmeg flavoring supplies the fall like flavoring and aroma. You pick up a bit hay and honey notes from the Virginias and Cavendish but they nothing significant.

I wouldnt desire this out of the fall season but when the air becomes crisp and the leaves change, I'll have it on hand to light up a few times a week. 7/10

Pumpkin Spice is synonymous with white urban females, UGG boots, Lululemon Yoga pants, jean jackets and Starbucks lattes.

Call me a basic B**ch, but I love pumpkin spice. I even have pumpkin spice aftershave. Fresh, it is mostly vanilla, with a subdued nutmeg pouch aroma. There are some other spice notes, but nothing like the cinnamon or allspice that PS should contain.

This blend is a bit moist, but it doesn't light horribly difficult. Tobacco seems of decent quality, but snaps and crackles as it burns..... Weird.

Flavors of vanilla, and actually reminiscent of pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top. slight baked dough notes, this blend isn't cloying or artificial at all.

Never hints at biting, no harsh spots, and burns fairly clean and cool. minimal moisture in the bowl if puffed slowly. I'm not afraid to admit this as a Veteran Balkan/heavy English smoker, but I truly enjoy this blend and the room note!

4 stars because it is what it is, and does a damn good job at doing it. It's not an aged Vaper. It isn't a thick and chewy English. It is just a solid aromatic, in fall's favorite flavor.

Easily one of my favorite aromatics that I keep on hand for harvest time. This one can be a tad moist but I go right at it take my time using light puffs in order to really enjoy the flavors. If you like C&D Mixture Monster, you should really give this one a try as it has become my #1 Autumn tobacco choice. It holds flavor throughout the pipe and burns well through to the finish. I cellar it in a small Mason jar and it stores well, unlike some aromatics.

Was gifted an ounce or so of this. Extremely soapy and not enjoyable in the least. Tried multiple bowls and drying. Tasted like a bar of soap from childhood (thanks mom), along with some bad hookah tobacco.
