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.

I was skeptical, but wanted to give a pumpkin spice a go for the heck of it.
It came at a pretty decent moisture level. If you pack the bowl and leave it for five minutes it's perfect.
Takes a light nicely. It burns evenly and I'll say it stays burning pretty cool. It isn't goopy at all.
The initial flavor off the lighting is pretty strong on the pumpkin spice, as with most aromatics. After a few puffs it mellows out. The nuttiness of the Burley and sweet fig like flavors of the Virginia come forward from time to time. The casing comes through as a nice pace. I've mostly gotten a pumpkin cheesecake taste. It's not overly sweet.
The room note is nice. I've been complimented on it a few times already.
If you're a fan of aromatics and are looking for a nice fall seasonal blend give this one a go.

Of course, I was expecting to taste a slice of pumpkin pie. And, of course, I did not. But that’s not a bad thing. This blend is very nice, especially after cellaring it for some months. The pumpkin comes through with slight touches of spice. This really helps define the flavor and meld with the tobacco. No bite, and it burned very well.

Smoking now:
All jokes aside I am drinking a pumpkin spiced coffee while doing this.
The bag note is, well pumpkin spice. It has a fruity alcohol type note with the usual pumpkin spice notes however it’s light and not obnoxious. This is wet. It comes as a wet sticky aromatic that’ll coat your fingers. Slight crackle when lighting. No dry time.
The taste is very mild. No discernible tobacco flavors. Sugar, sweet, some cinnamon, nutmeg flavors. The pumpkin spice flavor is mild. Creamy mouth feel, retrohale is ok and you’ll pick up more of the topping. Speaking of that it sticks around to the half way point. After that it doesn’t get harsh and stays a mild and sweet smoke. Couldn’t tell you if the room note is pumpkin spice but I imagine it’s not offensive. Wafting the smoke towards me I could tell it was mild and sweet. I’ll smoke this along with my other fall aromatics all season when I’m around others. A mild, non offensive smoke, that didn’t bite or become unwelcome. Smoked well enough for an aromatic with no complaints of it being too wet, hard to keep lite, or too hot.
Recommended if you want a mild aromatic that’s not offensive, sweet, good flavor, and can be repeated though out the day.

It is what it is. Pumpkin Spice hits the flavor right on the head. I'm not much of a aromatic smoker but this stuff ain't half bad! I tried it on whim and was pleasantly surprised. It's not wet or gooey and the toppings are applied with a light touch. Pumpkin Spice is mild in strength and soft in flavor with no tongue bite and a lingering, pleasant after taste. I'm not going to jump up and order a pound of it but I do believe I'll be smoking more of it from time to time.

Sutliff's Pumpkin Spice - On Tuesday September 21, 2021 – I revisited Sutliff Pumpkin Spice pipe tobacco. I had purchased this aromatic 2 oz bulk in preparation of smoking some of it during the upcoming 2019 season and cellaring the remainder for next season. The cellaring method was a small glass mason jar stored in a cool dry place. The initial Char light was smooth but I did have to re-lite several times to establish the initial ember. The introductory taste was very pleasant with a light sweet flavor and pleasantly sweet room note. It took about five re-lights to get an acceptable ember going and the flavor/smoke stayed very cool and smooth through the bowl. I found this blend to be cool burning smoke with absolutely no tongue bite and no gurgle from excessive moisture. It required a few relights after the ember was established. I was drinking cold water coke at the time of the smoke which may have added slightly to the overall sweetness of the experience. Overall I would give this blend a 2.5 out of 4 stars for my taste. It was a pleasant smoking experience and this is a blend that I look forward to smoking in the future, especially during the holiday season.
Because of the relight issue, I may let it dry about 15 minutes next time out.
