Sutliff Tobacco Company Pumpkin Spice

The tobacco is sublimated by the flavorings although they do sneak in from time to time. Nice blend for early fall/autumn. Won’t bite unless pushed hard. Pleasant room aroma. Flavors consistent to the end. I’ve tried other autumn names or themed tobaccos and this ones second in line with sleepy hollow being my favorite.

Easy going, warm and comforting aromatic. If you’ve had the likes of Captain Black or 1-Q, then this will seem pretty familiar. I was a bit worried at first because this came out pretty wet and reminded me of Molto Dolce, which I remember getting pretty hot on me. This seems to behave a lot better and has that familiar crackling as you smoke it.

As far as flavor, I get a bit of brown sugar and vanilla mixed with your standard pumpkin spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc). There’s some tobacco taste here and there but not a lot. The smoke has a nice creamy texture. Barely any nicotine. Subtle enough to be an all day smoke if you wanted. Could get away with smoking this one indoors. It’s pretty standard stuff here and there’s nothing too crazy happening to speak of, but that’s kind of what you’d want out of something like this. Solid aromatic.

You can definitely taste the pumpkin flavoring at the forefront, something i've never tasted in an aromatic, much less any pipe tobacco. The spices back up the pumpkin flavoring, even bringing it out a bit. It's decent, though I did need to relight it once or twice. I will try mixing this with Sutliff's coffee blend, and will update this review when I do so.

Hints of vanilla, cinnamon and aniseed. No bite. Low nicotine pleasant smoke however a little heavy on the PG. This is one to smoke outside Starbucks.

I like to smoke my tobaccos fairly dry, but aromatics tend to require a delicate balance: dry them out to 'normal' moisture, and you lose a lot of the flavor. Dry them too little and you wind up steaming your tongue or getting a soggy pipe.

Pumpkin Spice is a decent blend if you're an aromatic smoker. I'm far from a devoted aromatic guy, and I find PS to be pretty goopy. Decent flavor and wonderful room note, but it's not very enjoyable for me, even when I'm looking for an aromatic. I do find a 50/50 blend of PS and Lane 1-Q to be much more pleasant.

It's not a blend I like to smoke often, but it's nice once or twice a year (esp. when mixed with 1-Q), and it has a room note that will make you popular. Cautiously recommended.

The smell is like a spicy autumnal aroma. Pumpkin, spices, vanilla are all very strong in the tin note.

The burley has a characteristic nutty taste. As usual the smell is stronger than the taste, but it is there. The taste is just interesting enough to keep your attention, but not so much that it's overly complex.

One of my first strays into the world of aromatics. My usual smokes are virginias like Orlik Golden Sliced and McClelland 5100.

I bought this out of curiosity since I had never heard about a pumpkin flavoured tobacco. And what a pleasant surprise it was. I had expected something gooey with artificial flavour and the first look kinda confirmed this; a rather wet ribbon cut tobacco with a (to me) strong aroma of pumpkin and cinnamon. Certainly not like my usual straight virginias but not unpleasant.

Packing was easy and the tobacco lit and stayed lit with only a few relights.

The first puffs have a strong flavour of pumpkin and cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg. After a few minutes the flavour fades a little but is still rather constant throughout the bowl. One can taste tobacco together with the flavouring. To me the virginia was more obvious than the burley, possibly because the flavouring is somewhat tangy and thus reminds me of my usual virginias.

The taste intensifies a bit near the end but is very monochromatic all the way through the smoke. Nicotine is low, it doesn't really satisfy me but a pleasant experience nonetheless.

The bowl was a bit moist after the smoke but a lot drier than expected. Other reviews say that it is best suited for colder weather. I don't know about that but it's late December here in Denmark right now and certainly not warm

I can see it being an all day smoke for some; for me it will be an occasional but pleasant experience. Two and a half star which I generously round up to three since it is the first aromatic I really liked.

Normally, this type of aromatic blend bites me, so no matter how softly I puff it and no matter how much I might like the flavor, it just isn't for me. Packing this somewhat moist blend reminded me of those long-ago years of smoking Captain Black.

Despite the above, this is a very pleasant aromatic blend. Unlike many items called 'pumpkin spice,' the main flavor is actually pumpkin, rather than the spice -- just enough to let you know it's there. If you're looking for an aromatic where the flavors are underlying the tobacco, this isn't one you would probably like. The first half of the bowl is pumpkin (think a slightly-spiced pumpkin cookie), the second half less pumpkin with slightly more spice and the pleasant-enough tobacco base.
