Sutliff Tobacco Company Rum & Maple

A milder, less intricate version of "maple-walnut" in my opinion, which is in itself mild. Sack note is amazing, but doesn't really translate to taste or note. This is a good pleasing smoke, but the maple may not be strong enough for some if you reeeeeally wanted a shot of syrup. This is just a light 1 layer taste of maple. I'm ok with that. Just a hint of maple is actually what I wanted, I just didn't know it yet. I want to smoke a pipe, not a drippy Eggo. Oh speaking of dripping, this needs to be dried dang near crisp to enjoy. The long ribbons are a nightmare for a small bowl briar when they are all greasy. I only get a hint of rum if I push this to crackling by back breathing, let it rest and resume smoking. I've been to told the room note is pleasing. Don't misunderstand the review, it's a good smoke. I often add some Super Value Choc too it, or a pinch of their English.

Rum & Maple. Two flavors that sound perfect for one another, and while I didn't have high hopes for a bulk blend, the open bag did give off a pleasant maple syrup treat. There may of been a Rum element adding a 'rougher' sweetness to the mix, but the end result was a dusty maple powder.

The nice chunky ribbons were lightly damp with topping, slightly sticky, yet not too syrupy to be considered a doused Aromatic. The bouncy, base Burley can wad up and pack tightly, so best to keep things loose. Stays lit like a champ, with the first few puffs giving off a light smoke that keeps some semblance of the Maple and lets the Rum grow, without being terribly sweet.

This was not a candy Aromatic, so I can see it appealing to non-Aromatic smokers wanting to venture out a few steps, but for me, if I want some pancakes and booze in the morning, I want it laid on thick.

I purchased a bulk 2 ounces of Rum & Maple from a local tobacconist. The pouch note is delicious and, I'm sure, the reason most smokers are drawn to this tobacco. A buttery-maple odor oozes as the primary note, and is followed up with a hint of brown sugar and booze behind it. The ribbon is extremely moist. Upon initial light, the citrus and hay from the Virginias mildly comes through, as does the nuttiness of the burley, but the topping almost entirely subdues the tobaccos. The taste and smoke aroma are consistently of sweet maple syrup; I have a very hard time detecting rum outside of the pouch note. Nicotine content is mild. Despite a wonderful flavor and aroma, I actually found the tobacco to be nearly unsmokable with the amount of tongue-bite it was giving me. I decided to jar the remainder of my pouch to aid in drying. After two weeks of intermittent open-lid time, I found the excess moisture to have largely dissipated and the topping still pleasantly strong in aroma. I still have a difficult time with the amount of tongue-bite this blend gives me, but it's not nearly as bad as it was when I bought it. Recommended for a quality, flavorful aromatic, but if you're cadence tends to be quick or tongue-bite hits you easily, you might want to reconsider.

Not being very go with the flow I would say it’s a mild burley smoke with some pleasant maple room notes but little maple on the palate. And no rum. For a burley emphasis I’d go with another. Will probably use the one ounce for blending.
