I did not enjoy this tobacco. I found it too moist and bitey, and the flavor overly sweet and unpleasant. It's a little harsh, and I get no real tobacco flavor. It doesn't burn well due to the high moisture and heavy casing, and it tends to smoke hot, even after it's been left to dry. It goops-up my pipes and leaves a ghost-residue. It's what I'd expect from a bulk or pouch aromatic like Borkum Riff. I guess I've learned that blends heavily cased in whiskey, cognac, or in this case, rum, are just not to my taste.

Sutliff Barbados Plantation is malty, nutty, creamy and sweet. The tin note is overwhelming at first, not so much any more when smoked.
The tobacco feels very moist and sticky. The flavor reminds me somehow of Tiramisu (!). It’s very mild and I had no bite at all. It burns well but slow and the temperature has to be monitored constantly.
If you like very sweet toppings, but you don’t care so much about tasting tobacco, this one is for you.

Just the right amount of rum and vanilla without tasting too sweet or artifical. A great everyday smoke if you like aromatics. This is one fo my favorite blends.

A great blend with a base of Virginia, burley, and Black Cavendish though I really didn't detect the Virginia. Rum is the primary flavor with a hint of vanilla. Give it a little drying time and it won't burn so hot. Everything about this is great from the room note to the taste and after taste.

Barbados Plantation smells rich and spicy in the tin and I really wanted to enjoy it’s aroma. BP was rather goopy and wet in the tin, I tried it straight out of the tin as well as various amounts of drying time up to an hour. Each bowl was sweet at first then easing into dull and papery. I found 30 minutes of drying produced the best bowl, but even then it was forgettable. I wish it tasted half as good as it smells.

Had to give it a try. Popped the tin and memories of Grandma's Fruit Cake filled my head. (She use to knit cones-shaped Christmas trees to hide her bottles of gin and rum.) Nice afternoon smoke. I like the ribbon cut, easy to pack. Burns well. I keep this in my rotation if I can find more of it.

I was gifted a tin of this, so wasn't sure what to expect. It's a very nice aromatic in the tradition of Lane 1 Q. In fact, I'd describe it as Lane I Q with those vanilla like notes, but with the sweetness of the rum added to it. Quite pleasureable.
Definitely would be one I'd put in the class of the better aromatics that are out there.

This blend was a pleasant surprise. A step above the usual Ataldis/Sutliff bulk blends. On par with Molto Dulce. Tin note is fruity, taste is spiced rum and coke (vanilla Coke), & room note is Creme Brulee. This is a heavily cased American Aromotic with loads of flavor and little to no real tobacco taste. An excellent dessert blend if one has a sweet tooth. Burns wet, but decent as is to be expected from such blends. Overall, a decent blend. Cheers.

Purchased a tin of this on a whim and am glad I did. A very good aromatic topped with vanilla and rum, both of which predominate the flavor...the vanilla a bit more so than the rum. A little moist from the tin, typical in my experience with Sutliff aros so dry it a little but not too much or lose the flavors. I can't pick out the Virgina, but sometimes you get some burley taste. A great aromatic if rum and vanilla are your thing, good for bowl after bowl.
