No thanks.
I purchased an oz/ in bulk to give this a shot, I've enjoyed rum topped tobaccos in the past so I thought, Why not?
The not on it is OK. It's nice, with a rum and maybe some vanilla there. BUT! The alcohol/chemical smell is quite present.
Moisture content was high, and on smoking I had a chemical taste left on my lips and in my mouth that was very bitter.

I do enjoy the occasional blend with rum.I purchased this based on positive reviews I read elsewhere. First the positives. No gloppy mess, burns well, nice aroma. Unfortunately the negatives far out- way any positive ones. The thing that says it all is that after smoking some Sunset Rum I had two people tell me that I reeked of 'cheap tobacco'. I have to agree. Tastes of cheap tobacco, with a underlying bitterness that leaves a very unpleasant taste in my mouth afterwards. I'll look to give the remainder away or just use it for mulch. No Thanks!!

Definite alcohol note in the pouch, with a slight vanilla aroma. This blend is saturated with rum or PG. Or both. After packing, your fingers will be sticky, which tells me its PG.
Packing isn't difficult, but lighting is. Even with an hour of open dry time, this blend stays wet. While I absolutely enjoy a lot of aromatics, this one smoked bland, flat and airy. This is an ultra light tobacco that would be perfect for beginners. Great room note, zero tongue bite, inexpensive and non-complex.

You can smell a bag of this drenched, flavor sprayed, stuff a mile away. The waves of sweet (vanilla/caramel? - sure why not) vapors kind of have a hint of rum for the imaginative type, but at the end of the road is a bowl Cocoa Puffs that has been fermenting in the hot sun.
Grab some gloves and dip into this sticky mess of spongy what-not that used to be tobacco. Grab a long match to start burning through the shell, then get ready for that muck, muckity smoke which is tooth shatteringly sweet, yet flat and unsatisfying at the same time.
I was brave enough to take down 1.5 bowls of the 1oz I bought, before just tossing it. I buried the rest in a shallow grave, so the Sunset name made sense.
Now, I'm not sour on all Aromatics that try to cram too much into one smoking profile (McConnel's Code Relax is one that does this right), but you start taking the 'cancer' warning sticker to heart when pondering what chemicals are sprayed on this junk.
