A Rumination on Super Sweet, Candy-flavored Aro Bombs

[spicy_boiii]

I don't smoke many aros straight, but definitely enjoy mixing them with other blends. I frickin love tonquin, wish there were more tonquin bombs apart from 1792. Also love whatever is on Half and Half, dissipates too quick unfortunately.

I have a decent amount of Ennerdale cellared, need to put that back in the rotation.

Back in the early seventies not only was Bull Durham still available, so was Our Advertiser and Country Gentleman sack tobaccos.

I used to buy some of those, and technically they had to be aromatics, because in comparison with Cotton Boll Twist they could have been an aromatic blend from a pipe shop.

Of the big name drug store moist, canned or foil packed tobaccos Half and Half is different. It’s technically an aromatic but it used to come with a package of cigarette papers, if you wanted, which is my personal line between the old standard pipe blends and real aromatics, that have since day one been only for pipes.

Old ads said Half and Half was Lucky Strike cigarette tobacco, and Buckingham Cut Plug.



Whatever they add to it is delicious.

With the occasional exception of match Revelation I only smoke aromatics in the office...

You can smoke in your office??? You are one lucky guy!
If you're ever hiring, this is a good place to look for compatible workers!

Although I'm not a fan of too moist, overly sweet aromatics, I often like the taste.
Vanilla Custard is really nice but too goopy so I mix it 50/50 with a straight Virginia.

I like this picture, because it reminds me of a good friend that I love to talk with.

Sutliff Creme Brulee | Buy Sutliff Pipe Tobacco at Smokingpipes.com

Smokingpipes.com is your one stop shop for Sutliff Creme Brulee Pipe Tobacco and all your tobacco smoking needs. From new tobacco pipes and estate tobacco pipes to tin pipe tobacco and bulk pipe tobacco, we have everything you need

www.smokingpipes.com

If you don't need it with a tin many will say Creme Brulee is bulk Molto Dolce.

Molto Dolce is like Creme Brulee with a little more complexity. IMO Molto Dolce is significantly better, and better enough to justify the tinned price if you just want an occasional aromatic. If it's your all-day blend, and you're gonna smoke a lot of it, then perhaps Creme Brulee is the way to go.

That said, these blends (and most strong aros) end up tasting artificial, like a Twinky. The challenge is finding a good aromatic that is the equivalent of a fresh-baked pastry, rather than a Hostess cupcake. Wilke 191 is my favorite aromatic to date, though it's milder in the amount of casing/topping and more forward in the tobacco flavor.

Years ago, Brian interviewed Paul Creasey, then CEO of Sutliff tobacco. He verified that Molto Dolce was just Crème Brule in a tin, but that the difference was that they sprayed the tobacco with an extra layer of the sauce before sealing them in the tin. The sauce is designed to be smoked very wet, so no drying time is needed. It should still keep burning sopping wet. But, if someone dries the tobacco for whatever reason, then just buy the bulk stuff. If you dry it, it loses that specialness that won this blends so many pipesmoker's choice awards at the Pipe Sows years ago.

Also, let me plug the PipesMagazine Radioshow. If you aren't aware of these great podcasts, you can really have a much better understanding of tobacco, blenders, and pipes if you check these podcasts out. Just click the link at the very top of this webpage. Brian and Kevin work hard to get the most awesome guests and do a fabulous job of making if a top notch podcast. Funny stuff.

Sounds about as I'd anticipate. Molto Dolce crackles and pops when you smoke it. Quite strange! But it burns just fine all wet and goopy.

I bought twenty tins of Molto Dolce back when I first started smoking pipes. I usually only smoke them when my wife and I have date nights, bow chicka wow wow... But, after 9 or so years in those Sutliff tins, they aren't as wet, but the tobacco and topping have married very well. So, I think I enjoy it more now than back then. And, recently I have stopped smoking as much during sex. It was misleading, I thought all of the screaming and moving about meant that I was really doing a good job.

Lucky for me, my wife does not object to any of my pipe smoking, so any blend goes on date night. I suppose that's lucky for my wife as well, because if she did object, she would be sustaining that objection over my still-lit pipe

Perhaps lucky for us both, I am not a clencher, so I tend to leave my pipe on my pipe tray once we reach the point where my hands would become otherwise occupied.

Some of my instgram creations might work in this thread also.

I believe CRM has been out less than ten years. If you really want to try something really sweet (I mean really sweet) try Molto Dolce by Sutliff.

Other than 1792 I never smoked aromatics. Never really wanted to.

If I returned to the wide world of pipe smoking, my symptoms would just come back and then I'd have to quit again. Just wouldn't be worth it. And I still have symptoms from round one. And then to let a highly addictive substance like tobacco back into my life also makes no sense. Of course I could resume and huff like crazy and keep right on so long as I had still had breath, but such glory is denied me, as such would be hollow, and that too makes no sense.

But all that withstanding, did I return, I'd smoke a few aromatics, judiciously.
