Sutliff Tobacco Company Molto Dolce

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.

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.

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.

At a place of former employment I was witness to an interesting bet between two post-pubescent rapscalions: one bet the other that he couldn't consume an entire one-pound bag of Rainbow Nerds (a hyper-sweet candy) in one hour. (According to wikipedia: "The normal serving size is one tablespoon—about 15 grams. (One serving of Nerds is equivalent to 60 calories.)") It was entertaining to watch the consumer's initial vigor and enthusiasm, stuffing his mouth with handfuls of the neon-colored sugar-beads, gradually morph into dour and arthritic, but nevertheless heroic, reaches into the bag lying next to him on the floor, pulling out one nerd at a time that he would reluctantly but mechanically bring to his mouth in obvious disgust. Though in a comatose stupor at the end, he won the bet.

Molto Dolce brought this story to mind. The bowl starts off with a wonderful, tobacco-free, cloyingly sweet flavor (rather like smoking a bowl of Nerds, come to think of it). It's really quite delightful, the way the mouth fills with a delicious silky wallop of this sweet and fruity smoke. (Flatticus is pretty accurate to liken it to pina colada.) But I was never able to finish a bowl, rather like being unable to finish an enormous helping of delectable blancmange.

This isn't to say it's not a nice aro (though very moist, with a pinch of chemicals). It is. It's a quality cloying sweetness, a boutique confection as opposed to an OTC candy. Indeed it's a terrific dessert aro if you're in the mood to chug some muscat. But for me, all frosting and no cake quickly becomes an unendurable glut.

Very nice and smooth aromatic. Opening the tin the caramel and honey is definitely there. It's definitely wet. I let it dry for about 30 minutes. Flavor is consistent throughout the bowl. The room note is phenomenal. Highly recommend it. It's a nice flavorful smoke.

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 😉

Original review on 2014-10-29 as follows: High expectation considering the rave reviews. However, while smoking, it tastes and smells like Play-Doh to me. I'll try getting through the tin and hope for a better result.

Now, on Sept 22, 2017 after aging in a Ball jar 3.5+ years, I love it. It is all I had hoped for and then some. Smoked it all up, now I have to wait three years to smoke it again.

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.

Molto Dolce is my favorite aromatic, a friend sent me a few tins of Sutliff blends with my pipe and this blend was in it. Warning: it is a little different from your average aromatic. It's got a great flavor and the Honey and Carmel really show up in the smoke.

The tin note is fantastic, the room note is great. This will definitely please even the pickiest of wives. The taste is amazing, you can really taste every little flavor in it.

It is a little wet straight out of the tin, but it will smoke alright. For those a little pickier you'd be fine to dry it out for a little bit.

Easy enough to smoke, easy enough to keep lit.

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. From the newest pipe smokers to the oldest. Just approach it with an open mind and know that you can and will be surprised.
