Sutliff Tobacco Company Tobacco Galleria - Rum and Maple

This is much like Sutliff's Maple Street, but there's a little difference. I get just a little more rum taste here than maple, and I think there's more burley here, too, because I get a few more nutty, toast and molasses notes of it that I didn't get in MS. The grassy, citrusy Virginia is the blend's base. Like it's cousin, MS, the taste is not sickeningly sweet, nor are you overpowered by a super strong maple flavor. Not much nicotine. No bite, no goop, an even and consistent, moderate burn rate, and people around you will enjoy the smell. Leaves just a little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. Has a very pleasant after taste and room note. An easy going all day smoke.

A nice balance of Virginia and Burley flavor that tastes both grassy and earthy. From the pouch Rum and Maple requires a little bit of dry time but it burns extremely well. Tobacco is primarily what I taste along with a hint of maple sweetness and a light dose of rum. Charring light gives a burst of sweetness that quickly fades to the background after the first few puffs. The topping creates a bit more flavor depth than I expected and I get a subtle buttery taste as well as a hint of something similar to spice cake. This is a really solid aromatic with smooth, sweet tobacco flavor. It boasts a pleasing room note, even burn and only a tiny bit of a bite if pushed. I am pleasantly surprised by this moderately priced pouch blend.

I am simply going to second chetking's analysis of Rum & Maple. It was a blend of the month sent to my local pipe club about six months ago and the overwhelming majority of the group felt like this was a worthy blend. Tobacco taste with a lot of something extra that made this one a special, aromatic smoke.

Sutliff Tobacco Company - Tobacco Galleria - Rum and Maple.

The blend's medium brown with a couple of light touches. I'd say the ribbons are quite coarse, but I wouldn't call it Coarse Cut. The moistness of it's good, and it has a fairly potent aromatic smell.

I like the smoke from first light. The additions to the tobacco are at just enough weight to make a clear enhancement, and clarify this is aromatic, yet they don't monopolize the smoke. The Burley and Virginia make for a rustic, grassy, flavour, of an equal volume to the aromatics. The burn can't be faulted, nor can the temperature. Bite? None.

Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: pleasant.

A very well made aromatic. Highly recommended:

Four stars.

I'm a lover of all things maple flavored and being September I knew I had to start stocking up on my fall tobaccos. Fall is a season for aromatics for me such as autumn evening, mixture monster, and bagpipers dream but this year I'm craving maple so I bought this along with C&D maple cavendish and black gold maple for something new. As soon as they came in I knew I had to pack a bowl and try one out. I've never had a Sutliff tobacco so I decided to try this one first.

I bought this tobacco in bulk so it came in a bag not a tin. I picked up maple cavendish first and gave the outside of the bag a smell and then picked this one up and the smell was considerably stronger on this one. I transferred it to a jar and then gave it a smell. I get, obviously, maple and a lot of it. But it surprised me that this tobacco is a little more complex than what I expected. It has notes of maple, fresh caramel, slight rum/fermented smell (but not a strong one), roasted pecans, faint fig, and subtle apple. It smells GREAT! Huge plus to it.

Now the only thing I have to say thats negative about this tobacco is that its really moist. Like really moist. And a lot of it is coming from the flavoring. I like my tobaccos moist so it's not a big deal to me but I think a lot of people would want to dry this one out. Handling this stuff is kind of a mess. I got the flavoring all over my hands and it left my fingers a little sticky, not crazy sticky but for handling a tobacco pretty sticky. So its got a lot of flavoring on it. Other than that, it's a really light color and packs really easily (I think the moisture helps here).

In the pipe it's a little tricky when lighting but will start up fine. It lit up a little unevenly for me at first but after a few puffs with the lighter I fixed it easily. Definitely give this one a pre-light char to help it out a bit. It has absolutely no bite! Like none! I really love that about this tobacco. It puts off a fair amount of smoke and the room note is delicious! So smoke it around your friends! The smoke is also really tasty! I get maple, a little grass, caramel, subtle apple, and pancakes. In all honesty it tastes like a big pile of pancakes with syrup on top. It's fantastic if thats what you're looking for. A sweet smoke but really delicious.

For me, I love this tobacco! It's exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend if your a fan of maple flavors. If you're looking for something with a subtle flavoring, this is NOT the tobacco to get because it is very strong in flavoring. But if you're and aromatic smoker and want something sweet and warming for the fall or winter, go with this! You will not regret it!

These Tobacco Galleria blends are actually pretty tasty with Rum and Maple actually smelling and tasting like the name suggests. I have a couple of bowls left in my pouch which was surprisingly not crispy after a couple of years... Burley and Virginia in a thin ribbon cut with no Black Cavendish makes this blend burn a little hotter and must be smoked gently to keep the heat down and the flavor from disappearing. Not overly topped or moist, the rum provides some spice and the maple topping gives this a warm comforting room note, a good all day blend since it doesn't overwhelm in any way and is priced right. I do however much prefer Autumn Evening and C&D's Black and Gold Maple but those are two very different blends component wise (and higher priced) with maple toppings but this is a 3 star maple blend and one I would keep a pouch of in the car.

I don't get a lot of natural tobacco flavor. A little nutty note from the Burley is about all. In spite of that it taste very good and I find it to be an enjoyable smoke. The rum and maple combo is sweet and delicious. It burns very well and a little quick so you'll want to use some caution not to overdo it. A nice change of pace blend for me.

Mild to medium in body, taste and flavoring.

This tobacco is a good everyday smoke. Nothing complex a mild slightly maple and rum flavored blend. It burns clean room note is good, just go easy or get ready for a bite. Its good but I will continue my search for a really good rum and maple.

Overall, a great aromatic smoke. No bite, good flavor profile. I don't smoke a lot of aromatics so if I find one I like it serves as a nice change of pace. Well worth the price.

Smokes and burns well. Smells like syrup about halfway down the bowl. A bit of bite
