Here I go again, bucking the wisdom of my peers. But, in my defense was moved to put this blend on my wishlist by reading the rave reviews of members whom I have gleaned wisdom from in the past.
Having said that, it's not for me. The tin note was inviting, vanilla, caramel and a alcohol scent...whiskey? It was propylene wet, slick to the point where when squeezed it lacked any tackiness. That right there let me know what I was in for-a inorganic experience.
Now it starts out tasty, I get a vanilla-nougat taste through mid-bowl, but as I reach midbowl a coolness not unlike that of a menthol cigarette starts to grow. No menthol flavoring whatsoever, mind you, just something chemically happening-attached to the burley perhaps?
It soon grows to the point that it's all I sense, and its absolutely chemical in origin....and not good. Then it's replaced with tongue bite, even though I'm sipping slowly. And get this, as you light it it crackles and pops like a pine camp fire. Any attempt to blow back into the stem is met by ruin, as the baccy becomes like a powder keg, blowing out the bowl game covering me as if I was in Pompeii back in the gap. All the while all of these reactions go on without any excessive heat in the bowl...weird.
So here in the States we the ill-informed masses are inundated with advertising about organic this and organic that, mainly concerning stuff that already is organic by definition.
Molto Dolce bucks that trend, however, by legitimizing the need for the obvious...its so laden with chemicals it doesn't qualify as being organic. Perhaps it's actually synthetic after all...?
For my tastes Deep Hollow has been the most authentic vanilla, but this blend only makes three attempts at findings a quality vanilla- there's gotta be something out there....sigh. Deep six time for this blend 🙁

A very remarkable blend from Sutliff Private Stock. The Cavendish process does bring out the tobacco's natural sweet taste. It comes through very well. This blend is mild to the taste and the room note is provacative and very pleasant. The flavoring is a combination of vanilla, caramel, and honey. This can be likened to smoking a creamy, sweet dessert. The W.A.R. (Wife Approval Rating) for Molto Dolce was two thumbs up!! A first! Even the grandkids came in, whiffed, and wanted some of Pappy's candy. A four star Aro. Moist, but not overly moist. I would highly recommend Aro lovers try a tin of this tobacco. Let your nose decide.

To my taste, Molto Dolce may very well hold the record for the sweetest, creamiest, and quite frankly the most flavorful "candied" American style aromatics that I have come across. The tin note is a heavy, almost boozy sweet spiced-vanilla flavor that translates quite nicely when it's smoked. Molto Dolce is very moist out of the tin so it's best to give it adequate dry time, otherwise the overall flavor profile takes a turn for the worse past the mid bowl point.
Upon opening my tin I was convinced that I couldn't smoke this blend. I'll try anything once and I am happy I did because I was wrong. I like this stuff. It tastes good, performs pretty well & smells very nice. It's sugary but has no bite. I will definitely continue to smoke this on those occasions when I want something that is uncompromisingly sweet and simple.

this tobacco is a very good aromatic blend! it stays lit very well, and not much bite to it even if you chug along. it does have a lot of casing so it is a bit sticky i suggest letting it dry for like 30 mins prior to smoking. i also notice a crackling while i was smoking it (from the casing). it has a nice flavor to it, not to strong but just strong enough. great with a cup of coffee. very enjoyable smoke i would recommend this blend to anyone who enjoys aromatics!!
its $6 or so for a 1.5 oz tin

I take it this blend is for people who do not like the taste of tobacco? The tobacco is covered with oils and sugars and sure, it smells pretty good out of the tin but I'm not wanting to eat my tobacco, I want to smoke it! It smells like dessert and that would be okay from time to time if the tin note actually translated to taste but this it does not! It tastes like absolutely nothing! The room note is good but so are those little vaporizer things it seems everyone is smoking these days. You may as well vape it up because you'll most definitely get more flavor out of one of those than you do with Molto Dolce. Horrible excuse for a pipe tobacco blend! Just horrible! -4 stars.

Too sweet, goopy and needs drying. Like Captain Black on steroids. Better as a mixer.

Sutliff Tobacco Company - Molto Dolce.
Quite a coarse, sticky, ribbon, with a slight chemical smell to it. Although the ribbons are tacky, they can still be smoked fresh.
The smoke. It's a full-on aromatic. The caramel dominates the smoke, with the honey being slightly fragrant, and a custard-like flavour from the vanilla. The tobaccos have quite a heavy character: all black Cavendish and Burley, but I get no Virginia. The burn from it's cool, giving a very thick smoke. I get no tongue bite.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: lovely.
Molto Dolce? Four stars.
Highly recommended.

While this Black Cav dominated blend is not my favorite type of aro, I have no choice but to give this 4 stars. The flavor is that good. This stuff is rich and decadent. Toasty and sweet with deep, dark caramel and vanilla flavors. A very mild floral note from the honey. This is the definition of a dessert blend. I'm gonna limit myself to just an occasional bowl of this to ensure that it remains special.
Mild to medium in body. Medium in flavor and flavoring. Burns well straight from the tin.

Great tin note. 100% Pina Colada to me. Wonderful room note. The taste, however, is all topping and no tobacco. Vanilla's the top note in the flavoring with honey taking up the second spot, but tobacco taste is nowhere present. Extremely mild. This is for aromatic smokers who want something very sweet, but it was a bit too sweet for me.

This is horrible stuff. It's not pipe tobacco - someone has found some old dark fruit cakes, crumbled them up, mixed them with oily flavors, then added a dose of lighter fluid for combustion. Put all this in a tin and write 'pipe tobacco' on the... lid. It's absolutely smothered with flavorings and preservatives - sticks to the fingers and won't dry out. Somewhere in the tin there must be some tobacco, but I'm blowed if I can find it amongst all the raisins, currants and orange peel. Smoked one pipeful then threw the rest away. Half a star for the rather nice presentation tin and plastic lid.
