Sutliff Tobacco Company Vanilla Custard Z92

I've been smoking Sutliff Vanilla Custard for years and it continues to be one of my top aromatic blends. It has a very confectionary type of vanilla flavor in both taste and smell, you will hardly taste any tobacco. Burns well after you let it dry for a bit and smokes cool with few relights. It generally keeps its flavor throughout the entirety of the bowl. This an all-around great aromatic.

As a newer pipe smoker, I am mainly exploring the different blends (I favor aromatic blends, although I am dipping my toes into the non-aromatic blends now) to find what I like. Opening the bag and smelling it, I wanted to eat it instead of smoking it, it smells that good! The room note is mostly vanilla, unlike the tin note. Smokes really easy, was worried as it is a very moist blend but I didn't have to dry it to smoke it with no issues keeping lit and no tongue bite at all.

This tobacco has a delightful aroma and flavor. You can tell that you are smoking premium tobacco as there no stems, etc, to deal with. It takes a lite well and requires very few relights. I detected little nicotine, and experienced no bite at all with this blend. It smokes very cool. Everything considered, this is a great smoke all day and night.

Highly Recommended!

Don't we love reviews that start with "I'm not a fan of aromatics and I'm gonna tell you why I hate this one in particular."? This is not one of those reviews.

My tastes prefer semi-aro's with a light topping. An aromatic like Vanilla Custard would normally be one I'd avoid simply due to it's name but after reading the reviews here I had to give it a try. If it turned out to be overly sweet and or goopy I would have just mixed it 50/50 with Windsail Virginia.

Upon opening the bag, the aroma was so strong that I was sure it would need toning down, so I was rather surprised that VC smoked fine straight from the bag. It did not require any dry time.

What a lovely smoke. Yes it's sweet but not overly so. It's got a really nice flavour and the room note is very pleasant.

The course cut is easy to pack, it doesn't burn hot and although it does leave some moisture it does not leave any goop at the end of a bowl.

Mild, smooth, very tasty with low nicotine. Not even a hint of bite.

Normally I only smoke a couple of bowls of aromatics over the course of a day, since I enjoy most genres but I found that VC did not wear out it's welcome when I smoked a few bowls in succession at a social event.

For my personal tastes this is a three star blend but for what it is, Sutliff has got this sweet aromatic right. For aro lovers it's a four star blend. Highly recommended for aro lovers, would be a great beginners blend and for experienced smokers looking for a mild, sweet smoke for social occasions or a change of pace. For those who don't appreciate aromatics just no [So we can all be spared yet another negative review expressing why you hate aromatics]

Bought in bulk along with Sutliff Creme Brulee.

Rich vanilla smell. Decent vanilla flavor. Perfect mild sweet smoke with morning coffee. Not much tobacco flavor, but won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth the rest of the morning. If you’re looking for a mellow sweet tasting morning smoke I would recommend.

The initial smell of the tin itself smells like something you can eat. Burns a little hot after lighting it, but burns pretty well and evenly with good amounts of flavor. One of my favorite vanilla blends that I enjoy coming back to every now and then.

The aroma is exactly as the name suggests. It comes pretty wet, so needs ample drying time. A pleasant overall sweetness with hints of vanilla coming through every now and then.

This is a 1 oz sample picked up for something different. Sutliff Vanilla Custard has a wonderful jar note. It seems very much like vanilla custard. The jar note translates very well into the smoke and it is creamy, buttery vanilla that does remained me of vanilla custard with a trace of honey that comes and goes. The casing is heavy enough that I don't get a lot of tobacco flavor what does come through is very earthy. The smoke is very mild overall, don't expect a lot of smoke unless you push it, which should not be done as it gets hot. The nic hit is not noticeable. Room note is very nice. It will smoke a little wet and does need a few more than the average number of relights. This is a solid 3 star aromatic blend!

If you are in search of the ultimate Vanilla pipe tobacco this is it. Great in the morning with that cup of joe. Smokes cool, won't bite and burns to a nice gray ash. Delivers vanilla, vanilla and vanilla! Not one I would smoke all day as I am an English man, just not in the A.M.
