Sutliff Tobacco Company Molto Dolce

I tried this a a pipe club meeting, and really enjoyed it. A little sweeter than I might want for every pipeful, but very nice, and everyone around loved the aroma. If I ever find any again, I will buy a tin.

Definitely a very damp tobacco due to the casing. I received a sample at my local pipe shop and after smoking it I immediately went back and bought a tin. It smells great and has a good mild but sweet flavor to it. Makes me want to have a hot chocolate. I also taste a little cinnamon in it which rounds it out well. I had to relight it a few times but that wasn't an issue. I can sometimes smoke a little quickly which can lead to severe tongue bite if I'm not careful but there wasn't any with this. The wife loves the smell of this, also which makes it a slam dunk to smoke in the house. A definite plus in the winter time.

**update** Warning: this is a great smoke but it will leave your pipe a little soggy so make sure you want ONLY this in your pipe for a while.

Reminds me of toffee truffles. For a juicy aromatic, this one has surprisingly little bite. Yum yum.

This blend is the gooiest, stickiest, wettest mess I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with (sorry ladies). Out of the tin (aged 2 yrs for sure) it smells like the best desert you have ever had. It looks like a virginia burley blend doused in used motor oil...heavily used...15,000 miles past oil change used. It leaves an oily mess where ever placed. I had to dedicate a MM corn cob without hesitation and my oh my! --Could barely keep it lit after drying for a few hours. It made more noise than a bowl full of Rice Crispies and sparked like a Chinese shipping container on the reservation. I've heard the soft-core porn advertisements for the stuff on the Pipes Magazine Radio Show...and after buying a few tins I have 'NO REGERTS' (like the tattoo across my lower back indicates) in my purchase. Smoking it will take a dedicated diabetic in search of the smokable cinnamon roll...while I am quite content in just having it stay lit for more than a puff and a piff. On the tin note alone I am greatly tempted to just try eating the stuff. It smells THAT good! Maybe I'll revisit this review with a description of the actual taste...pipeless.

Update: DO NOT EAT THIS TOBACCO. Smoking it in your pipe will suffice.

Tastes a lot like American-Mexican vanilla fried ice-cream drizzled with honey. You know, when it has that crispy cinnamon coating? Either that or warm honey-drizzled flan with cinnamon sprinkles. Either way, it's not terrible. Molto Dolce means "very sweet" or "highly sweet" in Italian I think, and it is. There's not supposed to be a cinnamon flavoring but it's there to me up-front, followed by vanilla ice cream and caramel and honey. The caramel is more like caramelized milk as in flan or cooked ice cream.

Good aromatic for a non-smoking company. Won't bite. But like many other aromatics it is very monotonous. Gets quickly boring. Anyway still good blend to try.

What exactly this tobacco smells like is a riddle - everyone knows that smell, but no one can pinpoint it. I am hardly an exception, but the tin and room notes alike are very pleasant. The taste, while enjoyable, is quite one-dimensional: starting with the charring light and ending with the last puff, the bowl tastes exactly the same, with no interplay of flavors. This might be an advantage to some, but not to me. However, the only real issue I have with this tobacco is its moisture content. Molto Dolce is positively swimming in PG, and no amount of drying seems to be able to correct that. As a result, it burns very hot.

This is a tasty blend for sure. Nice tin note where I get honey, perhaps a little chocolate and a bit of vanilla with butter overtones. Once lit the taste dies away from the tin note. Once the blend gets warm I get a little honey and coffee flavor with some passing cream notes. Perhaps a bit of chocolate as it burns down the bowl. The taste is more hints and notes than anything very strong. Burn decently and room note is nice but not overwhelming. Another nice blend from Sutliff just don't expect a lot of taste. I have found Sutliff aromatics to all be decent smokes but never a lot of taste.

Rich, sweet and full of flavor! The honey hits hardest with creamy vanilla and carmel supporting. The only reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is that Molto Dulce is a chore to smoke. It is thick cut and wet to the point of goopy. Definately benefits from some drying. Its hard to light, requires re-lighting and leaves a mess in your pipe. Sutliff's Creme Brule has a very similar flavor and is more user friendly. Still, a wonderful smoke and crowd pleasing room note.
