Sutliff Tobacco Company Vanilla Custard Z92

This has way too much humectant. My pouch was incredibly old as it’s been at my B&M tobacconist for years, and was still moist and sticky! The pouch isn’t even sealed internally so no natural substance could behave this way. I still packed a bowl and I should have known better from my opening experience. The pouch note is amazing so I had to try it. I honestly can’t taste anything besides the tinge of the PG. The bowl sizzled and crackled as I lit it! I cant even hardly smell the room note through all the chemical laden smoke. Burns hot but it doesn’t bite... I still dumped out the last half of the bowl. I will echo an earlier review and if you want vanilla done right try some Mac Baren products. What a waste of my time and money! I won’t be fooled or intrigued by another Sutliff product. Leaves the aftertaste of mothballs.

Four stars??? Honestly???? I did not even have the nerve to subjugate my most inferior pipe in tasting this blend. God, can you imagine the ghosting. Fortunately I keep a supply of disposable taster pipes for blends such as this. How might II put this gently? Abhorrent, horrible, ghastly, and atrocious come to mind. If I were to fill a pipe with the most inferior Burley that I could find, then soak it in Vanilla fragrance oil, it would be very close to what this blend is like. Honestly, I think the good folks at Sutliff/Ataldis forget to read the warning on the back of the air refresher, "Not to be inhaled"

I really wanted to like this blend...I enjoy tobaccos across the board, in search of a "dessert" like occasional smoke I expected this one to be sweet and heavily cased from the reviews I've read. P&c lists it as a top selling aro..it arrived and did not diss appoint the smell permeated the entire box like vanilla cake batter. I excitedly packed a bowl and the first light was terrific. This is what I was looking for a bulk I can grab a few on ounces of and pull out on those occasions when I get a "sweet tooth" with a good cup of coffee in the evening...as I relight my elation was torn from me before I even knew what happened.,I was hit by a horrible chemical taste mixed with ash like I was cleaning the inside of my bowl with my tongue. I press on and begin the pipe smokers checklist of self doubt I'm smoking too hot, to fast packed it too tight in my eagerness etc. you know the thoughts. I spend the rest of the bowl chasing that first taste like a crackhead chasing his first high, and while I get wisps of cool creamy smoke every so often, they are few and fleeting...no tobacco flavor, no vanilla, no cool creamy smoke,. About as pleasant as having a sweaty butthole all day. It needs to be fixed it your all dressed up and in public there's nothing you can do about it. I smoked close to an ounce in several pipes treating it like many of my aros leaving it in the ziploc bag it came in to "dry" a bit before storing it properly. I packed it light smoked half bowls but the result was the same every time.. Rancid chemical smoke with a room note that turned sour as quick as the bowl. Maybe I'll sprinkle it under the seat of my car and use it as an air freshener.. And although it's probably my ph I can't recommend anyone share in this experience... I'll press on to find another...

This blend has the same artificial chemical taste as found in the bargain brand bagged tobaccos one would find at a Walgreens. I strongly suspect this is due to the amount of humectant used.

While the vanilla flavor is present, it is not enough to overcome the artificial flavor. It can only be described as cheap flavored tobacco that has no business being sold as a premium smoke.

Smoke slow. It can bite as well.

Vanilla Custard is way to rich for me. For anybody who has ever tried gourmet jellybeans, the buttered popcorn flavored one is exactly what this tobacco tastes and smells like. The tin note, the room note, the flavor, everything. It is very rich to the point of being nauseating. The worst part about it is that the room note lingers, I can come back an hour later and still smell it. I enjoy most aromatics, but this is one that I cannot recommend.

How can something smell this good, yet taste this bad? The bag note is absolutely premier. It is fresh vanilla cake, but like the best you’ve smelled. When I smoke it I taste a strange chemical and not the Cake. After all the positive reviews I bought 4 oz. Trying to choke it down. I’ll probably use it as potpourri though.

I too really wanted to love this tobacco after having tried the Creme Brulee which I love Sadly, very disappointed. In the bag it smells delicious, but in the mouth a horrible chemical taste and horrid aftertaste. I bought 8 ounces and have tried several times hoping it will improve. Unfortunately no. As someone else suggested perhaps a room freshener. Very disappointed
