Sutliff Tobacco Company Maple Street

A very good surprise this blend was. Does not have the traditionally chemical flavor Sutliff has (or had, thank god Altadis is out of the pipe tobacco business)

Anyhow, Maple Street is an excellent aromatic. I can very distinctly taste the maple (and I don't mean some vanilla or weird flavor, I mean MAPLE) and, unlike most rum blends out there, I can also taste the rum. Rum and maple is what I wanted and that's exactly what I got.

Additionally, this stuff burns slow and cool.

Did I mention I can taste the rum????

For those who enjoy aromatics (AROMATICS, I don't know what "aeromatics" are, I'm guessing it smells like pilot's cologne) then go ahead and try it.

A wonderful aromatic that certainly lives up to its name. A pungent taste of maple lasts throughout the smoke. Burns very well right down to the bottom of the bowl with virtually no relights. Perfect moisture content right out of the tin and therefore I would not recommend any drying out measures. Can bite just a wee bit only if puffed aggrssively. In conclusion this blend is clearly one of my favorites and a mainstay in my rotation.

Very good smoke. I tried Scotty's pancake and fell in love with the maple topping. Tried this as a variant interested in how the rum would work in the mix and it does well, a little too well. Maple street has more rum than maple, it's done well but I would prefer more maple than rum, just a personal thing. Handles and smokes like a champ, mild/med. chemistry, everyone should try a bowl or two. My next maple will be autumn evening, possibly cutting it with PA. I love the pipe.

If you seek a great maple blend your search will end here. This is my everyday smoke. Smooth light maple flavor with a bit of rum. Burns clean great room note. Just a consistently Good smoke. Smokes cool great taste. Try it.

This is another HOW do over, all be it a better one! I do not smoke an over abundance of aromatic blends, and I must say that this one could make me change my preferences! I can honestly say that if I was limited to 2 Aromatics in my collection that this would be one of them. Solid tin note, easily packed, lights well, and smokes well. Solid flavor throughout the boy without the gunky residue from some blends of a similar nature. The room note, wonderful and last a good while as well. reminds me of maple syrup on pancakes with a side of buttered rum. Two wonderful aromas! If you are wanting to try a good aro with out the gunk and the bite, give this a try.

Sutliff Maple Street is a mild, Burley based aromatic. I found it to be very malty, creamy and slightly sweet, but not nearly as sweet as expected from the intense tin note. Exhaling through the nose came with a subtle alcoholic impression.

It burns easy and does therefore produce some condensate in the second half of the bowl. No bite, fantastic room note.

A strong recommendation for lovers of that type of flavor, it might just be the best Rum & Maple interpretation out there.

I got this as a 1.5 oz sample tin about 5 years ago. Free. Free is good but I did not expect much from free tobacco so I put it in my cellar and forgot about it. I pulled this out last summer looking for something to satisfy a tobacco sweet tooth which I had never experienced before. I found this, one of only 3 Aromatics in my cellar and expected bad tobacco. I was in for a HUGE surprise. I love the sweet taste, love the now aged virginias, love the way it smokes and stays lit and just love the maple pancake aroma it leaves behind. I need to buy more! Tobacco is high quality, it ages remarkably well, soft and moist but not goopy. Any bitterness others find is likely due to it being young when smoked. Age this, let it dry with top off a few days and WOW! Every bowl I smoke, no matter what pipe it is in, tastes fantastic and I wish I had more tins 5 years aged.

***update - After trying a couple more aromatics, I find this tobacco even more wonderful. Real tobacco taste. I will have to buy a big tin or two. ***

I like this smoke. Drier than most maple rum blends so stays lit and is mild. Great taste with no bite and is not sticky sweet and leaves a great room note that leaves everyone happy. Can't go wrong if you want a mellow slightly sweet aromatic.

I really like this blend, but it is a little too sweet. It isn't as wet as I thought it was going to be. Room note is very strong, people walking by outside commented that it smells like pancakes. This blend is one of my favorite aromatics but may be too sweet for others.
