Sutliff Tobacco Company Molto Dolce

Its aroma in Tin is creamy, with much popetas of caramel and hints of vanilla smell, the note in room is very nice even leaving flavoured House throughout the day, its high content of seasoning makes it smoke very but very hot, making the tongue burning too by what would never compare in this case is no longer experience but product although it has been the best of the aromatics in as regards the aroma isn't in the smoke was hot and stressful at cross purposes what is the art of smoking pipe.

Snap, Crackle, Pop! What the hell is on my fingers after touching this stuff! It has an almost glittery shine to the tobacco! With a new tin of Molte Dolce opened and some dried for smoking the very first time around, I gave this a try. I happen to like Sutliff's Pumpkin Spice and I could detect a similar note when working on my false light. Listen to the snap, crackle, pop some more as I gave a true light to the pipe. This stuff never took off with flavor. I don't know what people see in the blend. Truly baffled at how some blends remain on the market but I suppose kids like buttercreme cake icing...

I started off smoking aromatics. As my palate quickly matured and my knowledge of tobacco expanded, I would soon assiduously avoid aromatics. (I was smoking Frog Morton's Cellar for a couple of years before seeing it was labeled an aromatic -- and I stopped smoking it simply because it was labeled an aromatic -- but I got over that, and FMC is perfectly fine to smoke).

As my knowledge of tobacco continued to expand, I kept hearing and reading that there were some aromatics that were actually pretty good (e.g., the "Hitler can't find Penzance" youtube video).

I love Sutliff's Red Virginia Crumble Kake, their Virginia-Perique Crumble Kake, their English #1 Crumble, and their Matured Virginia 515-RC1.

And while Sutliff's Molto Dolce smells great out of the tin, it's really everything I detest about aromatics.

1 -- it's wet and oily. I had to place it on a plate -- no way would I put this stuff on my leather tobacco mat. It's so sticky and oily that I have to wash my hands after handing it.

2 -- Too much goop; too many chemicals; too much humectant.

3 -- The "snap, crackle and pop" of the tobacco when lit was new, and somewhat pleasing to the ear, but the implication was somewhat concerning.

4 -- It doesn't taste the same way the tin note would suggest. I couldn't taste any Virginia, nor could I detect any of the Burley. I guess I could taste/detect the Cavendish, but that was little consolation with all of it slopped-over with chemicals and oils.

5 -- I really tried to figure this stuff out and come to some kind of an agreement with it. I smoked several bowls of it out of a Rossi Rubino. (The Rubino is ruined -- forever haunted by Molto Dolce's ghost).

I was intrigued by the enticing reviews written by seasoned pipers -- and I really wanted to find an aromatic (a REAL aromatic) that I liked and could smoke. Unfortunately, Molto Dolce is not that aromatic.

And Frog Morton's Cellar is NOT an aromatic (I don't care what the label says).

This is another Sutliff product ruined by their heavy-handed, gratuitous use of humectant. The tin note is great! So is the tin note of a candle or potpourri but I won’t smoke that. When lighting it sizzles and pops regardless of dry time and leaves a sticky oil on anything it touches. All I can taste is humectant and chemicals... none of the tin note and certainly not tobacco. The room note is good, but again this can be achieved by incense or a candle. Just not a product I like in any way. My tin is in my cellar and has been open for two years... still way too wet and oily!

Like many novice pipe smokers, I started off with aromatics, and that’s why I got a tin of this blend. However, I found this way too sweet and goopy. I couldn’t even finish the tin. Not for me.

I suppose that tobacco manufacturers have to find some use for substandard leaf and dousing it with sauce and selling it is more profitable than throwing it away. Enter Molto Dolce... This blend is very heavily cased to the point that it could contain shredded paper instead of tobacco and you would never know it. Wet, goopy and over cased, it isn't fit for a pipe. Maybe garden mulch.

It's wet. The tobacco's wet. The Virginias wet. The burleys wet. The cavendish is wet. The tin is wet. My fingers are wet. My pipe is wet. My matches are wet. My lighter's wet. The smoke is wet. Overly sweet. Becomes trash worthy when properly dried. Enjoy!

I had this tin for over a year. It was opened over a year. It was still beyond moist. Packed it in a bowl. Waited. Waited. Waited. 9 days. Still way too wet. My patience only lasts so long. Time to fire it up.

Ummm, is it supposed to be popping and sparking? Hmmm... Not bad... Holy crap! This went from decent to burning like the fires of Hades!

I was hoping this would be like Milonga. It is not. Milonga is good.
