Milan Tobacconists Sunset Rum

Let me add kudos along with the last four star **** reviewers to this sweet, superior, mild, and pleasantly aromatic rhum flavoured blend. Milan's Sunset Rum is aptly named, a superb mixture to savor at day's end or to begin an evening of deserved relaxation or quiet contemplation.

If you're in to spirits' based tobacs such as rhum, Irish Cream, whiskey and brandy fixes Sunset Rum has to be a "sine qua non." Never experienced an uninviting bowl. An absolutely pleasurable smoke I look forward to at each encounter with rapt anticipation.

Use it sometimes as a condiment additive to other rhum casing tobacs to ratchet them around to a degree of higher smokability. Truthfully though that is probably a diminuation of Sunset Rum's superior qualities. Happy hunting...

This one took some work to get right. It's an oily tobacco that burns a little warm. I wound up with a looser pack than usual to bring out the flavor. Packed tight and I get warm air, loose and it becomes friendly and enjoyable. Ticks of sweetness and the rum flavoring wth every puff except at the very end where it seems to turn a little bitter. The flavoring does not coat the tongue like some others.

Aroma, from the pouch, it's the most incredible rum scent I've ever had the pleasure to sense. I'm serious, you may not be able to purchase this stuff in dry counties, it's that intense. Light tamping keeps it going throughout the bowl until the end. The room note gets compliments whenever I'm found with it. Not harsh and no bite, everybody wins.

This is a keeper From Milan and I plan to get even more just to cellar. Rock solid in the rotation and a definite addition on the island selection.

Ah Sunset Rum, this was the other tobacco in my sampler that I was dying to try based on the favorable reviews and Renee told me was their best seller. Smooth and buttery aromatic that had an above average strength, nothing along the lines of 5 bros or 1792 but nonetheless I appreciated the little nic hit. One of the best Rum blends I have tried so far and that's something since I have had Pipeworks and Wilke RumCake which Is extremely popular and high quality. Milan has the best customer service and that combined with their top shelf tobacco's makes them one of my favorite online vendors. Aromatic smokers must try Sunset Rum! 4 stars!

I love dark, navy rum, and aromatics are generally my favourite types of tobacco, so the many excellent reviews about this tobacco had me from the start. Having sent all the way to the States for a pound of the stuff, and then having waited patiently for weeks for its arrival, it was with some trepidation that I filled my first pipe. The scent of the tobacco unlit is almost too sweet, and the tobacco arrived literally damp to the touch in a basic, knotted plastic bag. I was a little worried as I lit up. I could not have guessed this tobacco would have such an impact on me. The flavour of rum and coconut hit me immediately, and, amazingly, no second light was required after tamping. Great billows of pure, intense white smoke emanated from my pipe and from me, like steam from a locomotive, and the flavour just increased with every puff. I inhale my pipe smoke, (albeit at irregular intervals,) and was rewarded by a smooth and blissful sensation with no bite, no harsh nicotine buzz, and an increased taste sensation. The tobacco seems to stay alight without effort, and the flavours evolve as the bowl burns. I found the bottom of the bowl slightly wet, and the flavour for me turns slightly, which is to be expected. I quite often find this with aromatics anyway. I simply don't bother smoking the last 10% or so, preferring the fresher, earlier tastes, but that's just my preference. The room note is sweet and really pleasant. My wife adores it! I tend to reserve this tobacco for special moments when I can really appreciate it, but only because it is too expensive to import from the US to be an everyday smoke. I can't say enough good things about this first class blend. If you like any aromatics at all, this one will blow you away. Top drawer!

This is a really good aromatic smoke! It's mild with a great sweet, spicy, rummy flavor. This could be the elusive all day blend so many pipe smokers search for. I'm on my fourth bowl of the day and I haven't tired of it yet. I think you would have to push this blend real hard to get it to bite. The flavor remains constant through out the bowl. This is one of the best aromatics I've had in many years.

This is the pinnacle of aromatic tobacco. Milan has blended a masterpiece in a plastic bag. Every aromatic smoker must try this blend: PERIOD. If you have not purchased one of Milan's blends you are truly missing out on some of the best tobacco blends in the states. (No, I do not work for Milan but I am very impressed with their products)

MozzMann is back! This is my first review in many months! I have requested my #1 all time favorite tobacco to be listed also, so stay tuned for further details on that. Now for my review...Sunset Rum is my second all time favorite smoke. This is a great tobacco that I have been smoking for a few years. This is a great tasting blend with a sweet taste of rum and vanilla. This really burns well and the roomnote is one of the best to be had by such a tobacco. This tobacco I have a habit of smoking 1-2 bowls in succession because it is so enjoyable. After many months I am downsizing my tobacco archives and just sticking with the top 3-4 in my collection. This is without a doubt one of the best aromatic tobaccos on the market!...MozzMann...

Smoking now:

Bag smells like vanilla, raisins, and rum. It’s pretty well cased and wet in the bag. Not Molto Dolce wet but does coat your fingers and stain the bag. I let dry for 15 min and smoked it wet.

It did light and stay lite pretty well like other Milan blends I’ve had that were not so wet.

The taste is rum. I get a fairly strong toasted sugar, and a slight fruit and alcohol note. Other than that you’ll get a slight Virginia and cavendish flavors. Lots of rum but not obnoxiously sweet which I liked. Retrohale is pleasant, no mouth tingle, and smoked at a slow pace it did not bite my tongue. Being so wet I was worried about tongue bite so I kept it slow. Coworker said the room note smelled very good. Hardly an aftertaste, pretty mild aromatic.

A fairly well behaved aromatic with big rum flavor. Would happily smoke with again when I need or want an aromatic. It’s a damn fine aromatic blend with good flavor.

After trying several brands of rum based tobacco, I found this one and thought I would give it a try. The rich rum note is very relaxing and the cavendish adds some sweetness. The room note is great. A good every day smoke.
