Sutliff Tobacco Company Creme Brulee #701

MOLTO DOLCE.......just wanted to get your attention, and make a point. If you want a less expensive alternative to Molto Dolce, for which I have been searching.......this is it!

All the qualities of Molto Dolce, but ratcheted down a tad bit in richness. Not greasy, no gunk. Just needs to be dried out for a day or two. Burns straight down to the ash. Almost, the same casing, but absolutely no bite, unless you smoke like a train.

If you are a non-aro person, same advice as with Molto Dolce......stay the heck away, and smoke pine needles and peat bogs, with a bit of Oriental for taste.

For those of us who prefer creaminess and sweetness in the mouth, olfactory bliss, and wonderful room note, this will do it.

Very underestimated and for an inexpensive blend.

I requested this to be added to the review board. This is my #1 all time favorite tobacco.This tobacco I first tried as a sample back in 2006 at Pipes Unlimited and I have been hooked since. This is one of the best best tasting, best burning, best overall performance of a tobacco that I have ever had! This is one of those greasy type cuts of tobacco that is cased with flavor throughtout the whole bowl. From the first light which is a show all in itself to the last puff, it a winner! Creme Brulee is very much a dessert tobacco as well as a early morning tobacco which I smoke very early ever Saturday and Sunday Morning. The roomnote is very pleasant and sure to please the wife! This is a tobacco that I keep on hand fully stocked in my humidor at all times. If I had to choose just one tobacco to smoke the rest of my days. Creme Brulee would be it! I would highly recommend getting some for the upcoming Holidays! Enjoy this blend and Happy Holidays to all and to all a good ripper! MozzMann -08

This may be the wettest Altadis blend I've tried , which Is odd because their blends aren't wet like some poo pooers say . Does it gurgle and sizzle a little ? .. yup . Do I care ? .. Nope ! This stuff is so damn good tasting and smelling ..... it's crazy ! Anyone that likes Aros , especially one that are fully flavored , will dig this . I go through one pipe cleaner per bowl .. no big deal . The payoff is worth the one pipe cleaner . This is a dessert Aro smoke .. sweet and flavor . This is a blend that is carried at many a B&M . It's shame that it's wet for two reasons .. It probably doesn't have to be and , as widely distributed as this blend is , is probably responsible for the people who rag on aromatics as all being wet , which is in no way true .

Similar to Molto Dulce, but a bit more vanilla and a little less caramel. Fairly wet out of the pouch and requires a good bit of drying. Smooth and has no bite. An excellent all day smoke. Recommended to those that love Molto Dulce as it is a similar blend at a much reduced price.

Sutliff - Crème Brulee.

I was going to post this yesterday but my computer wouldn't let the review save. So here's my second attempt!

Just opening the pouch lets out a paroxysm of 'I'm heavily cased'! Something else congruent with a heavy aro' is the moisture. It's soaked!

The smoke's sweet, very sweet. Behind the honey and caramel is a flavour similar to a custard slice. Don't expect much from the Burley and Virginia, these don't play the game, the vanilla black Cavendish rules the roost. I find the smoke's temperature cool and I get not one spot of bite.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: good.

Crème Brulee? My kind of aromatic. Highly recommended:

Four stars.

The context of my review is that I have approximately 25 different aromatic blends, plus straight Cavendish, Latikia, and perique. I have switched up types and flavors and brands over the last 50 years. My grandfather smoked pipes. I like experimenting.

IMHO, creme brulee #701 is my personal favorite aromatic. I agree with most other reviews on this blend. I like this combination. HOWEVER, I recommend you let it dry over night, never over pack the pipe, and char longer at first light. Light around the edges of the bowl after first char. It is a sipper, not a puffer. Nice lingering scent in my mustache. People love the room note. Ashes tap out of my pipe easily. Vanilla raisin caramel to my senses. No fruity or rum notes.

In the pouch- A pretty damp tobacco with a delightful aroma. Noticed the vanilla first, then the caramel, and a slight floral note. Had a very faint soapy smell which did NOT show while smoking.

In the pipe- About a perfect blend of vanilla and caramel toppings. Maybe a hint of honey. Smooth and creamy with a moderate sweetness. No bite or harshness. Thick smoke that you just want to hold in your mouth to enjoy the flavor. The taste lasts throughout the smoke. Not much tobacco flavor though. Leaves some dampness in the bowl. Very mild and can be smoked throughout the day. Requires more than the normal number of relights which suits me just fine. I just lay the pipe down while working, come back, relight, and the flavor is still there. Well worth the extra effort.

Really, really enjoyed this tobacco. Taste is medium to mild but there. Room note is amazing and wants you to never have it end. If you are a fan of Guinness, this compliments it very well. Enjoyed it to the very end! Already looking forward to my next bowl of it.

Tobacco is very wet but didn't have issues with it that way.

I start every aromatic review the same; I have a love hate relationship with them. This one is a "love." If there's ever a tobacco that tastes like it smells, this is it.

Yes it's syrupy when its fresh, but that's ok. I didn't find it to be problematic in terms of burn quality. However, I do recommend you have a dedicated pipe for the blend. It will ghost the hell out of it.

The burly and virginias lend nothing. Cavendish is what holds this blend. Sweet with soft notes of vanilla and honey are it's profile that I found most noticeable when it's smoked on the edge of going out.

Room note is spectacular that will certainly won't offend anyone.

Overall it's an enjoyable after dinner / desert smoke.
