Sutliff Tobacco Company Buttered Rum

No matter how you cut it, this is essentially a drug store tobacco - but in the finest traditions of drug store tobbies. It's a mild, lightly aromatic VA/Burly blend. It's mild in strength, but bites a little. It's easy to smoke, the room note is very nice, the "tin note" is light and it tastes like it smells.

If Dunhill tobaccos are formal attire (tux and all), and Peterson Tobaccos are "academic formal" (dockers and a tweed sport coat), then this is just lounging around the house in a pair of cargo pants and a comfy sweater. Basically, just a good blend for those times when you just want a pleasant smoke with not complicated nuances to ponder.

This is one of my "house blends." I keep a jar of this stuff around the house at all times, and smoke it in my pipes with the largest bowls. Good stuff.

A very pleasant and tasty blend. I really enjoyed the butteriness and the rum flavoring used in this blend.

I was thinking of the Holidays when I bought this and it does remind me of a "Hot Toddy" my parents used to drink during the Christmas Season.

The tobacco smokes well. Doesn't gunk up. Has no bite and the flavor is consistent throughtout the bowl. No bitterness or drastic change during the smoke.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and might order some more in the near future. Especially - when I want get into the "Holiday Spirit."

Altadis' Buttered Rum reminds me of tobaccos I smoked as a kid, 40+ years ago; what I might call 'barely' aromatics as opposed to 'light' aromatics. The flavors of the tobaccos used are predominant rather than the flavoring added. In fact the casing is very light, which is why I'd call it 'barely' aromatic. It might be called a 'codger' aromatic by some people; mot flowery nor perfumed. I think it smells fine when smoking it but I doubt if anyone who did not like tobacco would like it. It's not one of those aromatics that win over non-smokers but it doesn't stink to high heaven either.

It packs and lights easily and stays lit without any problem. Once lit, and settled down, the flavoring is apparent for the first half of the bowl or so. The tobaccos are never pushed to the side, but after the first half bowl or so the flavorings gradually step aside and let the tobaccos themselves completely take charge. And they are quite good; perhaps not the finest tobaccos in the world, but nevertheless very good.

Unlike plenty of aromatics the last part of the bowl, rather than being sour, is really full of the flavor or the tobaccos and very enjoyable. That taste lingers in my mouth for 15 minutes or so after the smoke, making it very tempting to pack up another bowl and have another round.

It may bite if you really force it but it never bit me, and I do tend to smoke rather hard. At least my pipes are usually hot by the end of a bowl and I'm told that means I'm smoking too hard.

I've taken straight tobaccos, mixed them, lightly flavored them, and cellared them for a few months to marry, and come up with some very similar blends as this. Because I have them, and like them very much, I doubt I'll be buying any more of this. But if I had not gone to that trouble to make my own I probably would be turning to this tobacco regularly.

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, what I smelled was nice, easy to smell creamy/rum. The flavor I tasted was bland, little/no "buttered rum" taste, not unpleasant just missing flavor. With the room note I disappointed, the tin notes were not present but it was not a bad smell.

I had this tobacco lying around because it is one of the ingredients of Powdered Toast Man, so I figured I better smoke it up to free up some jar space. In the jar it smells very buttery and pleasant. This tobacco is not difficult to light or to keep lit. Doesn’t bite either. Very faint taste of rum. Very mild. Overall a nice tobacco, but not one I would order again.

A pleasant rhum flavoured smoke and one I would recommend to a beginner...or a pipe smoker daring to experiment with more rhum flavoring in their tobac lineup. Smells pleasant in the pouch and provides enjoyable flavour throughout the totality of the smoke. It's a delicate taste avoiding some of the harshness of old Rum and Maple I used to smoke in my youth and for me then was so strong I needed to blend it down. Actually, when I smoke rhum tobac today I really want to taste the "rhum," so that's why I couldn't give this "Montego Bay" blend by Tobacco Galleria **** stars. Happy hunting!

Arrived wet and soupy, had to dry two days before it would stay lit. That's ok though, expected. I have never had buttered rum, but I do like rum quite a lot. I didn't expect this to be so sweet. It was good, better than a lot of other aros I've tried. If you want really sweet rum, you might like this. I probably won't buy this again though.

Bag note is as expected. Buttery sweet rum. Smells nice. Not sticky or wet. Big pieces of golden brown tobacco.

The top flavor isn’t over powering but does add a fair amount of sweetness. This is very codger or old time tobacco in its taste and yes it does taste like tobacco. Grassy Virginia, nutty burley, with a sweet flavor to it. No harshness. It’s not a wet aromatic so it smokes fairly well. Coworker said the room note was “nice” and received no complaints. Little nicotine so it was perfect with morning coffee. I’m pleasantly surprised by this. Not bad at all.

A very pleasant aromatic with a rum and nut flavor. Mild overall with an easy smoke. Has a sweet rum flavor but not over powering. A little sweet for me, however, I see why aromatic folks enjoy this blend. I have an eclectic taste so I enjoy finding flavors in both Aromatics and English blends. This is definitely worth a try and may fill a niche for you pipe smoking rotation. I do suggest a rotation of tobaccos so you don't get burnt out on one flavor or another.
