Mark Twain No.150 is first off a beautiful blend of beautiful high grade tobaccos and visually looks awesome, that's one thing I absolutely love about this pipe tobacco blend besides the smell, I always have my nose in this one to because it smells so dang good. Now I'm going to pack and light up a good pipe of Mark Twain and do the best I can at a honest review on how I perceive this wonderfully made mixture and it truly is a fine aromatic. When I opened the bag I stuck my nose in it and took a big sniff and the first thing I smelled was a coconut chocolate sweet smell I was really surprised. It even crossed my mind that it reminded me of the slight odor of Parrot Bay or something serious I was a little thrown back by it because the description was nothing like the smells I got upon first smells. I just lit the pipe and starting to smoke and ya I taste a light coconut and a liquor of some type but I can't tell if its rum or not you would haft to be the judge of that but its there that I can tell you. Now ive noticed right now its the Cavendish in this that puts out the chocolate taste, its really light which is a good thing but its there and taste really good. This blend is pretty close to Mac Barens Seven Seas Royal that just came to thought, I just got back from sniffing the jar and yep, very interesting I can't believe I didn't put that one together until now. This stuff is so smooth and so sweet and the topping is just perfect, all the tobaccos are in perfect harmony with this one and there really is no dominant in this blend they all work together (I'm sipping and tasting-sipping and tasting) and that's what I get here, a tobacco blend that works as one. Very velvety and a super soft buttery smoke, it has nutty tones in it for sure but in a sweet creamy way. Mark Twain does not have a strong natural tobacco taste but you can still tell its tobacco cause they don't use junk in this mixture so that reflects, I was told the room note smells like a nice old school sweet pipey tobaccoy smell and very pleasant. The nicotine level for this is on the low side but its far about that with this anyway because its about the enjoyment of the taste. The taste stays pretty consistent and midway down the bowl here the taste of tobacco comes through now but its smooth and is staying very sweet and light, this aromatic is very well behaved, no tounge bite or awful steam its been a pleasant smoke (actual smoke) and has that nice undertone of chocolate behind the scenes here that tastes very nice. I'm gonna finish my pipe now, I highly recommend Sutliffs Mark Twain good job!!! This is a fabulous aromatic that I give two thumbs up and I do like MB 7 Seas Royal alot BUT I love Mark Twain alot more and it made my top ten aromatics list plus its a good price and easy on the wallet which is a huge plus.I am going to smoke some 7 Seas Royal after this bowl so I can ponder on it, I love smoking the pipe so much. If your new to pipe smoking this aromatic is really good, I wish I would of discovered it sooner but at least I found and smoked it finally. Thanks for reading my review, I write them out with great joy so you who reads them can enjoy a potential new pipe tobacco, have a good evening and God bless all you fellow pipe smokers. TABAK!!!

Sutliff Tobacco Company - No. 150 Mark Twain.
This one's been a bit of a pain to get hold of. Not due to the availability of it, more because of my rubbish memory; every time I've put through an order with smokingpipes.com over the past six months I've been meaning to order some but only remembered as soon as I've clicked the end button on the payment page! I finally ordered some so here are my thoughts on it:
The pouch contains various different cuts and sizes, it's not just ribbons alone. The only real smell, aside from the tobaccos', is a caramel sweetness. There looks to be a little less Black Cavendish compared to the Burley and Virginia.
I like the flavour of the smoke, it's just like the pouch-note had me expecting: the tobaccos' come over in a mild fashion and there's an obvious caramel/sweet topping; to me, this qualifies as dead-on medium in weight. The smoke itself is very palpable and feels almost heavy against my palate. The temperature's cool and the description's correct about the bite: none. Mark Twain gives a good burn, with quite a steady flavour throughout a bowl.
On the room-note I'm with the majority: very pleasant, and I'll also go with the general consensus on nicotine: mild.
I think this is a very nice smoke:
Four stars.

I must admit that trying this blend was a complete change of direction for me.As a long time Virginia smoker,I sampled this one with some trepidation.
To my thinking smoking an aromatic was like going back to the begining of my Pipe apprenticeship.I need not have worried,my experience proved most enjoyable.
I could not source this blend in tins and ended up with a small bulk purchase,with hindsight I should have bought more!
On opening and rubbing the mixture, the smell of the blend was marvellous and quite moist.It required very light tamping when loaded and stayed in,even after the first light.I had a good long smoke down to a very fine ash. Like most Aro's it was light on the nicotine.The casing was neither overwhelming or sickly.I always find that the best way to test room note if you are alone is to leave the room you have been smoking in for a few minutes and then return. Well in this case it proved a real winner ,very pleasant.
I would however caution that this blend would require a dedicated pipe.It certainly leaves a ghost in the machine!
Overall I would highly recommend this one,old Mark Twain would have loved it.

Mark Twain is an excellent aromatic in the Danish tradition. The caramel smell in the tin makes you salivate! But this is another of those rare aromatics that has managed to strike a balance between casing and good tobacco flavor. A mild smoke that's excellent for after dinner or sitting with good friends. Oh, and the room note - HEAVEN!

Ginormous chunks of black cavendish outweigh the Virginia and burley in Mark Twain. The moisture is just on the moist side of the spectrum, but it doesn't hamper the lighting.
The pouch note reminds me slightly of Boswell's Spice and Nice. It's difficult for me to put my finger on exactly what the aroma is, but somewhere along the lines of Danish pastries. It smell creamy and sweet, with just a hint of alcohol.
Before packing, break up the cavendish chunks to promote better burn. No twigs or stems found in my 2oz.
This does have a definite Danish style tobacco profile. A mix between Boswell's Spice and Nice, and PS Luxury Twist Flake. It's sweet, (but not cloying), toasty, and creamy smooth. I can't help but echo the "bakery" comment several have made, but it's spot on. This is probably one of the best room notes I've had the pleasure of being around. It's great on road trips, especially if the wife is riding shotgun. No bite, no harshness or rough spots even when puffed hard. Doesn't burn wet or goopy.
This is truly a wonderful aromatic that I will always keep in the cellar!

This is an aromatic that even non-aromatic smokers can enjoy. This is an aromatic that even non-aromatic smokers can enjoy. The aroma upon opening the lid of half pint jar the tobacco has a bakery smell to it. By that I mean the aroma reminds me of smell of fresh baked Cinnamon rolls and pastries. The sweet smelling aroma has undertones of vanilla, raisins, spice, cinnamon, and or nutmeg? The tobacco tastes as delicious as it smells.
The tobacco is moist, as most aromatics tend to be because of the casings applied to flavor the tobacco but is easy to light and remains lit without much effort. This tobacco is very enjoyable for you the smoker and the people around you. I've received many compliments on the aroma of this pipe tobacco.
