Although I've enjoyed pipe smoking since the 70's, I would not call myself an expert, so I only give my fair, honest opinion of what I think of tobaccos. I have a HUGE cellar of tobaccos and every now and then I take something out to smoke that I either forgot I had, or for whatever reason just didn't want to smoke it. I picked this up about 3 years ago, and the notes I made say: "very, very moist out of the bag, aroma is nice, typical of Altadis tobacco. Very mild, with really decent flavor to it, would fit in my early morning rotation". So 3 years later it's still the same except instead of the bag it was shipped in, it's been in a mason jar. After packing a bowl, and lighting it, it ignited right away and for the most part stayed ignited throughout each bowl. The room note is really, really nice, kinda soothing. The first few puffs yielded a very nice flavor that was sweet, with just a little saltiness (probably the caramel casing) but nothing overwhelming. The Rum is apparent and just enough to balance out the caramel and vanilla. No bite, but I would definitely not smoke this too fast because of the moisture content, which I'm sure would then give it a bite. It does burn cool, but of course that depends on the smoker and the vessel. Very mild, and finishes pretty well on the palate all the way through each bowl I've enjoyed. When I review on TR, I try to make my reviews something the "newbie" or less experienced piper can gain something from. This is a tobacco I would recommend to them as they build up to more bodied tobaccos. Just enough flavorings to make it enjoyable, but not over the top like some Aromatics and it's an all day smoke. .

The Virginia is grassy with a touch of citrus, though you barely notice it. The burley is nutty sweet, and is not quite as sublimated by the toppings as the Virginia is, but it's hardly in force. The black cavendish offers a light, smooth sugar. The toppings certainly dominate the tobaccos: a sweet rum leads with vanilla underlying it. I hardly notice the caramel. Has little nicotine. May need a light dry time. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a consistent flavor. Won't bite, or get harsh. Requires a few relights. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and a slight clog at the finish. Has a very pleasant after taste and room note. An all day smoke.

Sutliff Tobacco Co. - Sunset Rum.
A coarse mixture, with equal parts brown to black, and is inclusive of too many twigs. The aroma from the pouch is potently aromatic, and it arrives way too damp.
The smoke: of the tobaccos, the vanilla black Cavendish gives a lot more than the others. Because the added flavours are heavy, the Burley and Virginia don't have the capability to gain much appreciation. There's no doubt that the topping dominates the smoke: it's very sweet, with notable alcoholic flavour. The burn from it's cool, and it doesn't bite me.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.
A good aromatic, but not amazing. Recommended:
Three stars.

I must say I haven't been smoking aromatics for the last 4 years as I was kind of clogged up with the German-type chemo-aromatics. This one, however, came to me as a sample from a friend, I decided to try. The tobacco is quite moist but you can light it up easily and burns all the way down without any extra work needed. Some say the tobacco used for this blend is rubbish but I would counter it, would say it might stand even on its own without any aroma added. Speaking of the aromas, the rum & vanilla flavouring is heavy but surprisingly pleasant! The taste stays till the last puff and doesn't go bitter. The caramel is not noticeable (to me) in raw state but I can definitely taste it when smoking as a milky-sweet background compliment. All in all, this is an aromatic that brought a stubborn natural tobacco smoker back to aromatics. Inexpensive it is but I wouldn't call it cheap.

Very nice for changeup tobacco. It comes out of the packaging quite wet and if you don't like tongue bite or constantly fidgeting with your pipe, do yourself a favor and let it dry out for a while. The rum comes through as does the caramel. The "Sunset" is coconut flavor and is surprisingly pleasant. Like I said; it's nice for a change and smells great in the room.
