Review: Sutliff's Molto Dolce

Pipes on the ships of old were nothing new. Tobacco and rum made their appearance in short order with tobacco inherited from American Indians and rum from the Caribbean. Smoking aboard ship was allowed by limited to a safe area and at safe times, ergo the "smoking lamp". Where? Usually near the Galley, as it is here. A huge thanks to the amazing da'rum - a man of high ideals and many talents. This is just one of them.

Sutliff's Molto Dolce: Creme brulee


The Godz know this one really doesn't need yet another review, but I can't resist. Molto Dolce ("Very Sweet", translated) is indeed "sweet" but not necessarily in the usual sense. Think of these descriptors:

Creme Brulee, pound cake, soft caramel candies (with the white center), vanilla, coconut and honey. Think rich. Think softly smooth. Think full and creamy. Think feather bed. Think floating on your back on a glassy calm ocean. Think a pina colada on the beach. Such a life is sweet and so is this blend. Some have called this the "King", but the "Queen of Aromatics" is more like it.

Please do NOT dry this one out. Yes, it's moist and yes, you will have to tolerate a few relights. But if you wish to fully experience and enjoy this sensuous and sweet, voluptuous Queen of Aromatics, you'll need to only pack with care, light and have at her.

Delicious, and well-integrated with no single aroma dominating but pleasing in its totality, and only hinting at its components. Well down the bowl you may begin to sense the underlying tobaccos, and not as wet as I might have expected. Ever want to make slow and gentle, rich love with your pipe? This is the one. For special occasions and dessert.

You may even want to smoke a cigarette afterwards, lol...
