Sutliff Tobacco Company Maple Street

The topping is a little heavy for me, but it is tasty and has a pleasant room note. This has been a good smoke, and I recommend it just in general. If you are an aromatic lover, you owe it to yourself to try this.

I taste the burley base and maple is the main flavor in the profile. There may be a hint of rum or caramel in there, but the sweet was not a honey. The Virginia may be contributing to this sweet, but it plays a supporting role and I am not identifying much Virginia here.

I may try thinning this with some blending burley or Virginia just to suit my palate.

This is truly a superior maple aromatic. I understand why this has more of an appeal than other maple mixtures.This blend uses maple to bring out the natural sweetness of the base tobaccos.This blend yields wonderful Burley/Virginia flavor with the maple as a top note. Th maple remains with you for the entire smoke but does not dominate the flavor of the blend. Truth be told it was very good but not sweet enough for me. If comparing this to Town topic the analogy would be the following: Town topic is a very sweet Log Cabin. Maple Street is more like a raw natural maple sap. Very good blend.

It's like smoking the IHOP ! I think it's a damn good Aromatic and would give it 4 stars if it had a bit more body . The room note is great and the taste is very nice . It smokes pretty dry and is very low in nicotine . As with most Sutliff Private Stock blends , it lights and keeps lit well

I will start by saying I will approach this review as a man who does not often smoke aromatics but understands aromatics as a genre. Those reviewers who continually review types of tobaccos they inherently don't like are doing an injustice to the tobaccos they review. If you don't like the taste of wine, all of your wine reviews would be negative, the same is true for aromatics. Comparing an aromatic to your favorite English blend is an apples to oranges situation.

Being a native Vermonter anything maple catches my interest, as we have the best maple syrup in the world produced in my back yard. I had high hopes for this blend and it didn't disappoint. The tin aroma is heavenly as you would expect, and the room note is very nice too. I really liked the cut of this tobacco, it is so easy to pack and light, and it stays lit remarkably well considering it has that sticky aromatic thing going for it.

There was just a hint of tongue bite, not at all unbearable, and considering other members of the aromatic family I would say the tongue bite is a non issue for this blend.

There is a hint of maple but less than I would have hoped. There was a nice nutty burley undertone that was enjoyable but if I want to focus on burlies I will grab a burley blend, with a blend titled maple street I expect some major maple.

This was a nice blend, and performed very well for an aromatic. I still prefer C&D Autumn Evening when it comes to a maple based smoke, but this one was pleasant.

I have had a tin of this sitting around for a little while and just now opened it. The tin note is good. Not too wet and packs nice. Burns kind of fast but not too hot, doesn't get goopy either. The taste is pretty good. Overall, I like this blend and would buy another tin for sure to add to my cellar stash.

Great maple and rum scent from the tin. I was worried about this blend gurgling, it seemed a bit moist at first, no problems though. Tastes and smells like pancakes, a bit strong in the sweetness department for me. I might actually use this blend to add a bit of flavor to some of the Virginia blends that I find too heavy on the burley. Overall, worth a try if you are looking for a sweet way to start your day or just enjoy maple syrup!

A medium brown ribbon, with a few light and dark flecks, and is only a touch too moist.

The smoke has a pleasant enough flavour, nothing amazing, but nice. The maple outweighs the rum, easily. The rum gives a touch of rich, molasses, sweetness, but the slightly aromatic maple wins the race. The Burley has a milder character than some of the strong, toasty, rustic varieties, and like the maple with the rum, outweighs the Virginia. The burn from M.S. is a winner, going consistently and cool, but it bites me a bit.

Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: nice.

Maple Street: a good aromatic, not spectacular, but I'll give it three stars:

Rcommended.

Upon opening the tin the smell of the maple and rum came wafting out. During the charring light there was some crackling. On the true light the maple flavor was prominent. After the first third of the bowl the maple and rum melded together making for a great tasting smoke. From there the flavor stayed consistent. The room note was more the aroma of rum than the maple. The tobacco burned well with minimal re-lights and no tongue bite. The mixture of the golden Virginia and White Burley kept the smoke cool but flavorful. This is a good aromatic not overpowering.

The flavor of this mixture is delicate and nowhere near as sweet as I expected. Maple Street is moist from the tin and without adequate dry time it can smoke a bit steamy. With a bit of dry time I noticed better balance between the primary flavorings and the taste of the base tobacco.

Overall, I taste more rum than I do maple, with the rum adding a spicy quality to the finish and the maple sweetening the sidestream. The room note is pleasant, definitely a crowd pleaser. Very reminiscent of Tobacco Galleria's Rum & Maple, however Maple Street has a lighter maple flavoring and more rum sweetness.

Typically I don't care for liquor topped blends, but this is nicely done. It's also one of the better performing aromatics that I have experienced and it burns slow and easy with very little dottle left behind.
