I got three packages in the mail today, two trades, and one my ataldis free sample. I now have a tin of Molto Dolce (also had a small sample of Charlemagne), Tabac Noir, and Maple Street. They all smell wonderful and Tabac Noir was a great smoke. I'm not going to pretend that I am enough of a connoisseur to pick out much in the way of differences between the blends. I can definitely sort out the maple in the maple street, and the honey on Molto Dolce. They all seem to have a pretty hefty aroma of Rum and if the Tabac Noir was any indication, the others should all be good smokes.

@jchaplick : Blend 5 is a pretty good English, I was surprised. I only had one encounter with their aromatics : French Quarter. That one didn't go further than a few puffs past the "true light". But then, there are few aros that I actually enjoy.

Molto Dolce is a good smoke, if you dry it out some and sip it slowly. Not a go to by any stretch, but nice when you're wanting something sweet.

I got the free sample of No. 5. It is a nice smoke.
I smoke the hell out of their Roma Vita.
Funny thing is that EJames sent me about a half ounce of it once, saying he couldn't stand it. That is what got me started on it.

Recieved a tin of their Alexander Bridge yesterday. Nice stuff, a bit on the "bites like an angry wasp" side, but good virginia flavor. Smells a little bit sweetened in the tin, but not a lot of that comes through after you light it up. I like it, but honestly, I'm not sure that it's going to replace anything in my heart.

Just smoked my first bowl of Molto Dolce about 5 minutes ago and I liked it.It was a good sweet mild smoke.Needs to be dried out a little though.

I smoke quite a bit of the Sutliff "Kentucky Planter". This is one of my favorite daily smokes.Smooth and rich with a nose that can't be beat in my mind. Goes great paired with a good cup of coffee straight out of storage, no drying required. Notes of oak, wheat, honey, and a warm Indian Summer morning.
I have a tin of their "Black Swan" but frankly it is a bit wet for me, and far too mild. I like the risk of a bit of bite if one smokes too quickly. With Black Swan, one needs bellows to even come close. I also find it lacking in any sense or taste of the rich, heady flavors I normally prefer.It looks like it should be a magnificent smoke, that oily coal black flake, but it never really delivers for me. Of course my wife loves the room on this one, but I think I may end up blending the tin into some cavedish or perhaps letting it age more with some Maker's Mark. Sometimes however, I just want to smoke for the sake of something different, and this bland stuff fits the bill. It successfully reignites my love of other Sutliff products.

I've only tried Maple Street and Top Shelf Bourbon. I find them both OK and are affordable in the price department.
FWIW, the Bourbon one has a room note that my wife really likes, she it says it reminds her of the scent you get when you first open the door and enter a pub in England.
