Sutliff Molto Dolce Tobacco Review

Nice article Kevin, thanks for sharing. The first line is very good I will agree. I know a ot of people like Molte Dolce but I found this statement:

A true American aromatic, it is also quite moist, which is at first off-putting.

was very true for me. I have yet to really enjoy this one, but as I say, that's just me.

Very well written review, and nice to see an aromatic review by someone who appreciates them.

I find the reviewers recommendations for adding Molto Dulce to other blends very intriguing. It never occurred to me to add a pinch of a good aromatic to some of my Virginia or English blends to change up the smoke a bit.

I'm not an aromatics guy, but every now and then a great review like this gives me an itch that I've just gotta scratch.

Try it, you'll like it! It's saved some otherwise bland blends from the dustbin, and conversely helped me discover new facets of old favorites.

I hear you, 6. I do want to add that I think a lot of the conventional wisdom that's out there may not be so sacred--I mean, if you want to pare things down, we're really only smoking as a drug delivery system. Flavor, relaxation, the ritual, et cetera--all of these things are valid ancillaries, but at the end of the day, I enjoy a McBurger as much as a filet mignon, depending on what I want, what's available, the setting, and any number of other variables. Bottom line is, when I'm hungry, I eat; when I want some nicotine, I smoke. Molto Dolce is one of the wettest smokes I've tried, and yet performed better than a lot of "conventionally proper" tobaccos. A lot depends on the approach of smoking each tobacco on its own terms, and judging it on its own merits--not those of convention. I try to do this with everything I experience, not just tobaccos. This also relates in a way to the over-or-under-$50 debate on pipes--I smoke my $50 and under pipes as well as I do my $300 and over pipes; the technique is my responsibility, as is the enjoyment.
I'm glad you guys keep reading them, and keep responding with your own input--that's what it's all about. Thank you.

This review just made me go out and buy a tin from smokingpipes.com.
I can't wait to try it and I'm definitely going to try mixing it with a few tobacco's like Dunbar or maybe even Frog Morton's Cellar.
This will be my first Sutliff blend I'll be trying. I've been curious about them for some time.

Another great read, romeo. Maybe my bland VAs and Sutliff aros will have to find each other in my bowls.

very dry VaPers or Balkans do well with a shot of sweetness added to them, and Molto Dolce is a perfect blender for this purpose.

Meant to say, this is interesting advice—I just may give that a try.

Who'd ever thunk PlayDoh is a gateway drug to Molto Dolce?

It's all part of my plan to corrupt The Children. :twisted:

Thanks, Romeo - I got a tin of this when Sutliff was doing their freebie giveaway, but I haven't opened it yet... It sounds promising!

My son in law received a free tin of Molto Dulce, and he gave me a few bowls to sample just before this review came out. "Sweet" is an understatement! This stuff needs cutting, lol. Thanks for the review!
The free sample I got was their bargain tobacco. Yuck.
