This was my first try of the Sutliffe brand and I was very impressed with Molto Dolce. It has a nice flavor with no burn and is a pleasant smoke.

First opened to a sweet honey molasses flavored tobacco, dark mix. It sort of reminded me of what I imagine a candy factory could smell like. Upon lighting, I gave it no drying time, it took to lighting well, though it felt a tiny bit oily. I found the smoke to be enticing. I caught hints of fruit, molasses, medium strength clove, honey, and a nice nutty sweetness. I felt no tongue burn, but did sense a tingle like smoking clove cigarettes. The after taste was nice, it did not last long... I love sweet tobaccos, and this was a great beginner tobacco beginner. I think I will keep this around for a bit.

I've been smoking this since the sample I got from the last CORPS Show...should've gotten more. Been ordering it from Pipes & Cigars ever since. I smoke all categories of tobaccos, from burley on through. Great tin aroma, stickier than Black Cordial but surpasses it in smokability. Produces a caramel, vanilla, cherry flavor and aroma. I have enough tobacco to supply a tobacconist several times over (except for C&D), but this has been my primary Aromatic since Richmond. Since I learned a while back to pack "wet" aromatics very loose, my appreciation has magnified greatly. This is a great "public" tobacco. Everyone loves the aroma and the taste is incredible. It is wet in the tin, which is why you should pack it with a light hand. There is a snap crackle and pop upon first light that may distract you but stay with it please. Sip it slowly to get the taste and smell. The flavors change throughout the bowl IMHO. Goes from honey, to caramel, to vanilla and back. It's good on DGTeeing and re-lights. My only qualm is it's not in a bigger tin. Highly recommended year round.

This is a mild tasty smoke! opening the tin the aroma waffs up for a greeting.The tobacco shines at you like glazed candy. Greasy when packing as it kinda sticks to your thumbs.You could probably take a clump and put it in a paper towel and squeeze out the topping.Never the less i smoked it as it came out of the tin in a large missouri meerschaum general and it was yummy.Tried it in a couple of briars but went back to the cob. Room note is lovely,so says the misses.Try it you'll like it and so will anyone in the immediate area.

A very remarkable blend from Sutliff Private Stock. The Cavendish process does bring out the tobacco's natural sweet taste. It comes through very well. This blend is mild to the taste and the room note is provacative and very pleasant. The flavoring is a combination of vanilla, caramel, and honey. This can be likened to smoking a creamy, sweet dessert. The W.A.R. (Wife Approval Rating) for Molto Dolce was two thumbs up!! A first! Even the grandkids came in, whiffed, and wanted some of Pappy's candy. A four star Aro. Moist, but not overly moist. I would highly recommend Aro lovers try a tin of this tobacco. Let your nose decide.

Remarkable aromatic - never had anything like it. Tin note ? A real lady-killer; my receptionist nearly swooned when I offered her a whiff. Very moist, but required only one re-light after initial charring / light. Taste matches tin precisely. No bite whatsoever - and I tried. Room note is spectacular. Immediately ordered more. Update: smokes well in both filtered (Vauen) and unfiltered (Stanwell) with no gurgle or bite at any point, despite liberal casing, etc. Burn does benefit from some drying (I dried for a half day), fairly loose pack, and some further tearing of longer ribbons. Wonderful stuff.

This blend has an amazing room and tin note. It is on the sweet side so it isn't for everybody. To me the taste is a mix of vanilla and cherry. It was very moist coming out of the tin so recommend drying but not as difficult to light as I thought it would be. The only minor quibble is it has a slight aftertaste almost like burnt sugar or caramel that may not appeal to some. I like sweet aromatics so it is a favorite with me.

New pipe, new pipe tobacco. This tobacco is a little more moist than I am used to. I opened the tin and let is breath for a moment. The first pipe I packed too tightly. But not so tightly as to be unsmokable. The flavoring is quiet pleasant. And the tobacco being moist makes it easier to handle from tin to pipe. I do see that Sutliffe has a large tobacco selection. I guessed as which one to try first, I guessed correctly.

I received a free sample of this and fell in love with it after the first bowl. It has a rich, unique flavor without being overpowering. It is sweet, smooth and mellow and never bites. The tin note is absolutely delicious. Molto Dolce smells good enough to eat and the room note is fantastic. Even my 14 year old thinks it smells amazing. He makes himself scarce in a hurry when I break out one of my English blends, but I have to chase him away whenever I'm smoking this stuff. This is my go-to aromatic and I especially enjoy it with my coffee in the morning. If I have one complaint about Molto Dolce it's the fact that it's only available in 1.5 ounce tins.

AROMA: Upon opening the tin, I was greeted with the pleasant aroma of vanilla and maraschino cherries. It kind of reminded me of a very sweet freshly baked fruitcake with a vanilla custard topping. Yup, it smelled delicious! FEEL: Like many have said, the tobacco was quite moist (horrible word, I know) so I decided to pack the pipe and do the initial light and let it sit for 45 minutes or so. When I finally did light it and start smoking, I still had a lot trouble keeping it lit. No doubt, some extra dry time will do it good. SMOKE: As for the taste of the smoke, it was quite mild with a bit of sweet vanilla flavour to it. There was no harshness whatsoever, and I picked up very little on the retrohale. As much as the tobacco kept requiring a relight because of dampness, surprisingly I didn't experience any tongue bite. The room note was very pleasant and had a sweet vanilla aroma, which I prefer to any vanilla scented candle I have tried thus far. VERDICT: I quite liked Molto Dolce and will continue to smoke the rest of the tin. If for some weird reason something drastic happens to change how I feel while finishing up the tin, I will definitely report back. But, as it stands I would recommend Molto Dolce, especially to those pipers who like a good aromatic now and again!

I opened, smoked and set this tin aside some 6 months ago. I do this with tobacco's that do not meet my immediate taste. Rather than throw a tobacco away, i give it a bit of a rest before I try it again. This tin still had a pretty strong smell of honey and caramel when I lifted the lid, and was certainly drier than when I first opened it... I packed the bowl of my pipe with some skepticism but was profoundly pleased at what I found. A wonderfully mild tobacco with a ghost of a flavor balanced somewhere between juicy fruit and spiced rum. The room note was decidedly maple/honey. A great smoke for beginners or lovers of tasty aromatics.

We have a winner! I received a tin of this as a free sample, and I must say...I will be purchasing additional tins of this fine tobacco blend. The room note is amazing and the wife has blessed it with her stamp of approval. Molto Dolce is a great indoor smoke. I love the think billowing smoke it produces as you puff away at it. An earlier review said it was like smelling a bakery, I agree. When you first open the can it has a phenomenal smell. It is wet, and does pop at the start but once you get going you will not want to stop. You definitely should consider picking up a can.

Terrific aromatic blend and a winner in my book. Smells good in the tin, and the room note is delectable. Tobacco and aromatic flavor are mild on the tongue, but not vague or wanting. Sweet notes, but in no way cloying. MD is a smooth smoking mixture. It burns well out of the tin despite something of an oily, sticky feel to the leaf. Absolutely no chemical, medicinal, or industrial taste as with so many American-style aromatics. Leaves little moisture and dottle at the heel of the bowl. A perfect indoor smoke. I received a 1.5 oz tin gratis from Altadis. Good marketing, because I will try other Sutliff offerings I probably would not have otherwise.

Just received this as a free sample from Altadis, and was very pleased from the moment I opend the tin! If you like aromatics, this is one I would certainly recommend. It IS wet right out of the can, like everybody is saying, but I had no trouble lighting it and keeping it going. It does crackle a bit, but that went away after a while. As sweet as it smelled, I was sure it was going to bite the daylights out of my tongue. I was pleasantly mistaken. The room note is great. A friend of mine said she really liked it, and we both smelled the vanilla and a hint of coconut! I love this stuff, and I just bought six more cans! Thanks, Altadis!

This is my first review gang. I smoke strictly Aros, and prior to smoking this blend my fave was Admirals Choice - Vanilla Cavendish. However, now the Admiral has been demoted. This blend is now my Favorite! Tin: Very moist. I actually dried this out some before smoking. The tin aroma was nice and sweet and I picked up what i thought was a hint of Roses? The Smoke: Some crackeling, which stopped once properly lit. I love the thick, rich and fragrant clouds of smoke this has! Nice and smokey! The tin aroma transfers itself over to the smoke,not like most Aros, where it will dissipate. And the strong aroma stays throughout the smoke. Overall this has all I like in an Aromatic. From start to finish I loved this blend. Thick and rich, yet cool with no bite at all. 4 stars all the way. Has anyone picked up the Rose Scent in the Tin as I did?

Bought a can of this at a local B&M that was selling it dirt cheap as it's getting outta the prepackaged biz. Maybe the best 3 bucks Ive spent in a long time. This is dessert. Smokes cool and sweet. The room note is incredible and unique. I have to agree with a few reviews Ive read in that it its almost greasy to the touch. And expect to be getting the taste in whatever you smoke after. I smoked in a cob so I dont mind it lingering. Cleanup after is kinda gooey though. Wont stop me from enjoying over and over again.

I just tried this one today and I really liked it! Its strength was medium, and so was the taste. Another thing I noticed was that it had a excellent room note. Now I would definately recommend this to any pipe smoker, even beginners. Also I have to say the tobacco has almost a greasy texture to it, but that did not turn me off at all. It is a little moist, and it crackles in my pipe until it gets well light. There is so much I could say about this blend, I could go on all day about it. Well it definately tops any other tobacco I have ever smoked. It was much better than Captain Black. I really hope that other pipe smokers see this review and give it a try. This is definately going to be a pipe tobacco that I will always have with me. Although I have not yet tried any other Sutliff Private Stock tobaccos, I think this one gives me a good reason to try others.

I have been puffing on this particular tobacco for almost a week solid. I have been trying it in different size/type pipes. I find this tobacco quite amazing. It is very wet, but that actually seems to help it out in XL bowl pipes. The taste, while pleasant and smooth in all of my pipes, does seem to be much better in the XL bowl pipe. I have tried drying it out a bit before smoking, and it does change the flavor slightly. I taste more of a honey flavor when it is dryer as opposed to the thick vanilla flavor I get smoking it without drying. The only tobacco I have come across with a sort of similar flavor is Mac baren Vanilla creme. If you tend to prefer aromatics like I do, you should definitely give it a try. If you also happen to have a B&M around the corner that is a dealer, like I do, Then chances are they will give you a tin to sample for free. As this blend is the most common for the company to mail out as a free sample when one is requested.

I too, received this as a sample. I too, felt upon initial opening, that a period of drying out was required and about once a week now, I enjoy a bowl of this creamy deliciousness as dessert. Great taste if a little loud up front it still mellows out similiar to a milk shake. She Who Must be Obeyed enjoys this very much. So I assume good room.

This is by far my favorite tobacco. Upon opening the tin my mouth started watering. I was hooked after the first bowl and am still hooked several tins later. It has a wonderfully creamy taste and that sweetness remains long after smoking. I give this tobacco to those who are thinking about taking up a pipe and after one bowl they are normally hooked, not just on the tobacco, but pipe smoking too!
