Sutliff Tobacco Company Barbados Plantation

This was my first FINE pipe tobacco that started me piping..I still smoke this ble.d and quite enjoy it and will cellar tins for future smoking. Highly recommend it if you like rum

Warmed-over rum and melted butter with a splash of vanilla bean is truly amazing. Smokes cool but very damp. Second half of the bowl was hard to stay lit. Not unlike a Butter-Rum Lifesaver pack from 1974. No chem-taste. No nic-hit.

Deep, rich smoke and velvety smooth billows. Not unlike a buttery rumcake. Seems to attract "the ladies" who linger around pleasantly, impressed with the gentlemanship you grant.

Highly recommended aromatic.

A lovely black-cavendished burley. I agree that initially it was a soggy hot mess out of the tin, took work to keep lit, and so on. Drying helps in the early life of an opened tin. Eventually, I cellared this away, returning for a monthly sample, and what I've learned is that this is a blend that just needs a little time to settle down. IMO it gives its best results when enjoyed slowly; pushing renders it harsh quickly. This blend yields a pleasant light rum taste, and the tin notes of coconut, spiced rum, vanilla, and banana transfer to a pleasant banana liqueur, lightly sweet in the Barbados rum style. Exceptional room note. If you enjoy light aromatics, this would be a fine one to have on hand.

Medium ribbon-cut, moist pleasant aroma with rum note out of the tin. Easy packing and draw. All of the smoke makes for a pleasant experience, Good slip-stream, nice bowl aroma, consistent flavor profile from the unique blend. I didn't expect this mild, mellow roasty smoke after experiencing Borkum Riff 11N Rum flavored tobac, which seems to be opposite this Barbados Plantation in being a pleasant smoke. A four star and possibly in my rotation.

not big fan of all things Sutliff but some of their aromatics are second to none. really fragrant with vanilla and just a kiss of rum to taste. really good and smooth.

At first wAs disappointed, but after airing out a tin for a week, the giving a bowls worth a good 39 min dry time, this has become a favorite aro. This is what I default to whe I can't make up my mind. Mild flavor that lasts and gets nuttier through the bowl. Good burn with no bite. Room nite is nice but fades quickly. Li e it.

A “milder” 1-Q is what comes to my mind on this blend. Needs a day or so drying time, as this one comes moist from our friends at Sutliff. THE most mild aromatic I have ever encountered. Wonderful aroma in the can or in the air as this blend will offend nobody! Vanilla and a slight fruit note to the palate, but never overbearing. As far as bite.... I loaded up a large Sherlock Holmes Watson and puffed like a freight train and could not get even a smidge of bite from this tobacco. A real smoky and tasty treat is this one folks, Sutliiff has a winner here. Would be a great starter blend for a new smoker.
