A mild to medium aromatic with a litle complexity. The tobacco taste from the Virginia is lightly grassy and citrusy, though it’s mainly covered up by the other components. The burley provides very few nutty notes, because it is sublimated by the sugar and vanilla from the various grades of black cavendish. The vanilla is not overpowering, and is nicely complimented by a sweet honey bread and cocoa taste. Rich in flavor, burns at a moderate pace, cool and clean with a very consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl and needs few relights. Won't bite or get harsh. The aroma from the smoke reminds me of a bakery. A dessert smoke that doesn’t overwhelm you with its sweetness. I’d classify this as an all day smoke for that reason.

I enjoyed this tobacco very much. It is definetly a dessert smoke for me but could easily be an all day puff for others who enjoy sweet pipe tobacco that doesn't scorch the tongue.

It is a little moist straight out of the tin and can use some drying time. Even though the moisture is a little high for my liking, it's not as heavily gooped as Molto Dolce. (They're kind of similar but this has less caramel/honey flavor going on and more of a Vanilla/birthday cake thing going on)

The flavor is very consistent throughout the bowl and is a very nice smoke. This will absolutely please the people around you as it has a wonderful room note.

Well done Sutliff!

Blend Name: Archduke Ferdinand Description on Tin: A complex Vanilla aromatic, derived from seven sub-blends Leaf: Black Cavendish, Burley, Cavendish Pipe Smoked In: Neerup Classic Egg Tin Aroma: Not bad at all, light vanilla, I also get hints of rum off this. Taste: Vanilla, cocoa, some light orange citrus. Smokability: This is an insanely smooth vanilla, as some have suggested, creamy, that's what the smoke is like. Room Note: very nice, passed the wife test. Thoughts: Single light, wasn't overly moist in the tin, but not dry either. It lit right up and smoked very well, I am seriously impressed with this blend. Recommend to: aromatic smokers, looking for a sweet smoke, also a non-chemical tasting vanilla. Summary: 4 stars out of 5.

I picked this up on closeout and wish I had bought more. This is a well-balanced vanilla blend that compliments the tobacco nicely. It was a little moist out of the tin so I jarred it for a couple of months. No bite, burns well, great room note. Not one of the best vanilla blends out there, but it is a good smoke with differences that make it worth trying

When it comes to aromatics, you would be hard pressed to do better than this offering from Sutliff. It's got a great smooth creamy Vanilla that is layered very nicely. Sublime room note and no bite. Well done Sutliff.
