Sutliff Tobacco Company Molto Dolce

A tobacco true to its name.

This tobacco comes too moist in the tin, but after about half a day drying in the open tin with occasional stirring smokes very well and is recommended for anyone looking for the most heavily cased, sweetest cavendish they can find on the market.

I smoked my last bowl of this two days ago. The pipe is still sticky inside. "Ghosting" is an extreme understatement, Molto Dolce will coat your pipe until even the wood itself is molto dolce.

I will not be buying another tin of this tobacco, I was simply curious as to what the sweetest, heaviest possible casing could taste like, and it tastes as expected: Far too sweet and heavy for me.

Comes recommended to anyone who wants a sugar cane combined with an "Old People's House" room freshener in tobacco form. Not useful to people addicted to nicotine, owing due to its mild tobacco base.

MD is heavily cased, nearly to the point of overwhelming goopiness. However, it is an aromatic, and with the given name "very sweet", I will not discount for excessive moisture. Whenever I pick up an occasional aromatic, it is not for quality leaf or great tobacco flavors. I choose an aromatic for the flavors present wbich make it an aromatic. That being said, I find no tobacco taste at all with this blend.

The smoking characteristics are satisfying straight from a freshly opened tin. With its moist, oily nature, I expected a plethora of relights. So I was quite suprised at how well this stays lit, most bowls needing only a single relight. The room note is phenomenal - as others have noted, people will be drawn to the aroma. I did have someone jokingly comment that it smells like someone smoking baby powder, and since that remark I can't help but notice that nuance. Taste is very pleasant, mild, cool and creamy throughout. In fact, if using one word to describe this blend, I would say creamy. The smoke has substance.

The only downside I experienced here is a sort of filmy coating feel in my mouth post-smoke. This is probably from the flavoring/PG, and it is not something that ruins enjoyment of an occasional bowl. But it is enough to make this a special occasion only smoke for me. I recommend anyone who enjoys aromatics to try this at least once... I will purchase again.

Ah Molto Dolce from Sutliff. I believe it's just about the only pipe blend that has its own dedicated website.

When you crack the tin you get a nice sweet smell of honey and caramel. It smells like a wonderful dessert.

As far as moisture goes it doesn't get much wetter than this. I'd suggest opening the tin and leaving the lid off for a day or two. After that it still needs some time sitting after being loaded. 20-30mins is usually good.

No matter how dry you get it this blend will crackle when you give it a char and true light. It typically takes an extra true light to get going. Once it's going it doesn't crackle any more and it's a nice smooth even burn that's quite cool considering how heavily it's topped and how moist it is.

Flavor wise, this is one of very few aromatics that actually tastes like the tin smells. The honey, caramel, vanilla, and rum are very evident. They pretty much take over the tobacco flavors and dominate the flavor profile.

The room note is very pleasant. Even non-smokers will compliment you on it. This is one of few blends that consistently gets the okay from smokers better half to enjoy inside the house.

If you like heavily cased blends or are searching for an aromatic that tastes like it smells then give this one a go. If you don't like heavily cased aromatics then steer clear of this blend.

I wanted to try this tobacco for a very long time since many of my friends raved about it being the "ultimate aromatic".

It smells great out of the tin, almost like a creme brulee. It is a little too gooey as it is so some drying time is necessary. Some reviewers have talked about the cracking and popping they hear when lighting it. This can be minimized by letting it dry out.

In my opinion, this is a much better tobacco than Lane 1-Q flavor wise. It's a very complex aromatic as the flavors really do range from caramel to honey to vanilla and other realms altogether. Although it's very good, I prefer Archduke Ferdinand a little bit more than this tobacco for an aromatic.

It is a wonderful dessert tobacco that is great after a meal, or if you want to attract beautiful Italian ladies that will take your pipes 😉

Very flavorful - rum, coconut, vanilla, and buttery caramel. If you are a fan of aros in general, and/or these flavors in particular, then you may want to give this one a fair shake. Base tobacco is more mild than the added flavorings. Burns clean and easy. 3 stars.

A good aromatic that the description pretty much sums up . It's not the coolest smoking in the sutliff line but it's not hot by any means . It burns pretty dry and the room note is great . I love a good Aromatic and this one is fine but Sutliff and others make better

This is a mild tasty smoke! opening the tin the aroma waffs up for a greeting.The tobacco shines at you like glazed candy. Greasy when packing as it kinda sticks to your thumbs.You could probably take a clump and put it in a paper towel and squeeze out the topping.Never the less i smoked it as it came out of the tin in a large missouri meerschaum general and it was yummy.Tried it in a couple of briars but went back to the cob. Room note is lovely,so says the misses.Try it you'll like it and so will anyone in the immediate area.

AROMA: Upon opening the tin, I was greeted with the pleasant aroma of vanilla and maraschino cherries. It kind of reminded me of a very sweet freshly baked fruitcake with a vanilla custard topping. Yup, it smelled delicious!

FEEL: Like many have said, the tobacco was quite moist (horrible word, I know) so I decided to pack the pipe and do the initial light and let it sit for 45 minutes or so. When I finally did light it and start smoking, I still had a lot trouble keeping it lit. No doubt, some extra dry time will do it good.

SMOKE: As for the taste of the smoke, it was quite mild with a bit of sweet vanilla flavour to it. There was no harshness whatsoever, and I picked up very little on the retrohale. As much as the tobacco kept requiring a relight because of dampness, surprisingly I didn't experience any tongue bite. The room note was very pleasant and had a sweet vanilla aroma, which I prefer to any vanilla scented candle I have tried thus far.

VERDICT: I quite liked Molto Dolce and will continue to smoke the rest of the tin. If for some weird reason something drastic happens to change how I feel while finishing up the tin, I will definitely report back. But, as it stands I would recommend Molto Dolce, especially to those pipers who like a good aromatic now and again!

When you first open the tin the aroma is amazing. It's a little wet and pops and crackles when it's first toasted. It soon stops and burns cool with no bite. The room note is vey nice my wife loved it. The flavor was very nice. My only complaint is that it's so wet you really have to clean your pipe to get out all of the residue. If you let it dry out for a few days this seems to help.
