This is one of the sweetest, most candy flavored blends I smoke. There's a touch of vanilla, some honey, and a little caramel flavor, in the middle of pure sugary cotton candy at the county fair sweetness.

It looks and feels so wet with syrup or something, that it shouldn't burn, but it lights easily and stays lit to the bottom of the bowl.

Creme Brulee has little nicotine, and you could smoke this all day, every day for the rest of your life, and not get bit.

While 100% user error, this was one of the first full fledged aromatics I ever tried. It didn’t bite, it burnt. It took about a month for me to get enjoyment from a pipe again, and never again have I been able to enjoy alcohol alongside a pipe.

Im glad it works for some of you though. It smells amazing. I gave my entire jar to a friend and she used it as potpourri and to help transition from cigarettes

What's going on with the tobacco flavor in Creme Brûlée? What's the base ( largest percentage) of leaf? Can you taste it? Does the flavoring do anything to bring up the flavor of the tobacco itself? I guess I could like a blend as a sort of surrogate food snack, but in general, I want the flavoring to set off the tobacco rather than the other way around. With sweets and other notable food flavors, I tend to like the real food item. I do like Creme Brûlée for sure.

The base leaf is burley, maybe two thirds a blackened, goopy sweet cavendish and the other third a wet, syrup soaked brown ribbon cut.

It is a miracle this stuff burns, but it burns well.

There is a tobacco taste, underneath the sugar bomb of sweetness.

I don’t desire Sutliff Crème Brûlée or Vanilla Custard very often, but when I do I really enjoy them.

If you haven’t tried it, GH American Delite hits some of those same notes for me but with a just a little more tobacco flavor coming through.
I mix the molto dolce and American delight 75/25 with cornell & diehl 8 state burly and the chocolate notes of the 8 state burly blend great with the sweetness of both blends and kicks up the nic and natural baccy flavor up a tad. Enough to make a difference a good difference. Mix a bit up for those times you just fill like something sweet.

Smoking Crème Brûlée in a seven pointed three star Lee Billiard even as I type this. Yes, it has a sweetness to it as well as hay like taste due to the cavendish on the retrohale. Somewhat grassy. Vanilla notes as well. Burley notes and cavendish. What a nice dessert. Thank you @Briar Lee for the recommendation. I bought this at Just for Him in Springfield, Missouri just a few day ago.

Could it be, the son of the founder?

The old shop was just across the street.

I’ll have to check it out.

Did you notice the meerschaum pipe selection in the pics I posted.
Yes.

The new owner arranged them with the best on the bottom shelf, though, the way hairy legged boys would prefer.

Lemme see that hunnert dollar one there, would ya please?

Back in the day, nothing on this earth can describe the regal presence of one of those beauty shop matrons in full war paint walking in the old shop, and Charlie seating her in front of the island.

Milady did not deign to look down.

Charlie made sure she never had to.
