As an unashamed fan of aromatics, I went for this on the basis of the reviews on this site and I was not disappointed. Opening the tin, I would describe the combination of aromas as rather "in your face", very sweet with the overall effect bordering on "feminine". A fraction more and I suspect I would have been completely overpowered but Sutliff obviously know what they are doing and have created something that really is a pleasure from start to finish - the smoke is as good as the tin aroma and develops beautifully as the bowl progresses. The snap crackle and pop of the burning tobacco as you take a draw is also something of a unique feature and one I rather like until I stop and wonder what chemical additives might be causing it. And talking of chemical additives, I have had a single tin on the go for over 10 months now and it still has not dried out and it still is very smokeable. Is that a good thing? And then there is the really thick soupy gloop left at the bottom of the bowl
But hell, I am smoking tobacco here, what am I doing worrying about chemical additives? This is definitely not for those who like their tobacco pure and unadulterated but for the rest of us, it is magic.

I love this tobacco. It's like having dessert at anytime of the day. Yes it's a bit damp when it's first opened, but not a problem. If you're a novice Molto Dolce is a great starting point for aromatics. Caramel, vanilla, and honey oh my! Lovely room note and no bite.

This is my favorite aromatic. Sweet room note, sweet taste. No tongue bite. This is a mild smoke heavy on a good flavor. I keep this one in my rotation.

The other reviewers said it all. Incredible taste but I wish it was stronger. Sutcliff makes good products and at a great price. Even if this was more expensive I would strongly recommend.

This is in a league of its own. Everything it says on the tin and then some. Burns cool and dry and long, despite the apparent wetness out of the tin. Some mild bitterness as the bowl progresses but nothing so untoward as to break the character of this fine tobacco.

Predominant tin and room note is vanilla, followed by caramel. I can't detect the honey. The chocolate I think comes from the burley itself. Lovely, creamy mouth feel and no tongue bite or gurgle at all.

The tin and room notes are full volume on first opening but if left in the opened tin rather than decanting, this tones down considerably within days, and subsequent bowls allow the quality tobaccos to shine. As long as this remains in production there seems no reason to cellar, because it smokes perfectly as it is.

I really enjoy this blend. I found that in addition to the listed flavors, there is also a good presence of figs. While very wet upon opening the tin, a short drying time really aids this blend. It is very sweet, and goes well with root beer.

The toppings are strong without being overwhelming or tasting artificial. It was extremely wet but smoked like a reasonably well anyway and even better after a generous drying period. An absolute rock star in the room note department. This deliciously sweet indulgence is my favorite tobacco so far in my brief pipe-smoking career. Too bad it only comes in the small tins.

I've been after tasty, sweet, rich aromatics for a long time. Molto Dolce is definitely and by far the best aromatic tobacco in my world. The tin note is amazing. The taste is unbelievable. The room note is fabulous. Caramel, vanilla, spice...if you're reading this, just finish up here, hop over to Pipes and Cigars and get yourself a tin or TEN. If you're an aro guy/gal, I'm very confident that you will not regret your purchase!!

Yes, it really is what all the other reviews say. The tin note is overpoweringly sweet with caramel and cinnamon and other sweet notes, and the room note, well the room note is the least smoky smelling, most aromatic and sweet room note I've come across in a long time. Guaranteed crowd pleaser. It is very sticky feeling, wet almost, and crackles madly on the first few lights but settles into an easy burn. Tastes decent too. While not something I would smoke a regular basis, a good tin to keep around for company.

I was very pleased and surprised to open my mailbox not long ago and pull out a box from Sutliff Tobacco. Inside were a tin each of their Maple Street and the much exalted Molto Dulce. I have to say; Molto Dulce is absolutely my favorite aromatic blend in my 35-plus years of smoking a pipe. The tin note is not just sweet, but it smells like cookie flavored tobacco. As others have noted, the tobacco does seem very moist. In fact it is sorta oily to the touch, and it will stick to your fingers, but please don't let that put you off trying this. It packs easily and should be done with a gentle touch to prevent it from heating up due to a tight pack. The charring light does take a bit of heat and persistence, and it will crackle and pop in the process. Again, do not despair for this is normal, as many have noted. Once lit, THIS is the way you should be able to taste an aromatic tobacco blend. For me, there is a hint of cinnamon, along with the sweet, smooth brown sugar flavor of the combination of tobacco and casing. It tastes much like freshly baked pastries. The room note is very much reminiscent of our kitchen while my wife is baking cookies (for the grandchildren, of course) Warm, and gently sweet to the olfactory senses. If you haven't already tried this excellent tobacco blend, I recommend it very highly. A solid FOUR STARS!
