Remise en Bouche
March 31, 2016
Product: Sutliff Frosty Mint Bulk
Native Americans and indigenous peoples throughout the world have long recognized the healing properties of mint (mentha). One of the healing properties of mint is the soothing of burns. Mint has long been used between courses in French cuisine as ... Read More
a palate cleanser to remove the taste of the previous course of fair from the tongue. *
I detect, among true pipe enthusiast, a disdain for mint/menthol flavored tobacco. It seems a novelty, or relegated to the lowly realm of the cigarette smoker. It is little wonder this attitude prevails, if you have sampled most of the mint/menthol tobacco blends offered to the pipe smoker. For some reason the menthol flavor that holds up well in a cigarette, deteriorates quickly in a pipe and becomes harsh, acrid, and bitter. So, I was intrigued when I read reviews of Sutliff Frosty Mint, where reviewers stated the mint not only held up well, but dominated.*
Fred Hanna, in his excellent book on the pleasures of pipe smoking, ‘The Perfect Smoke: Gourmet Pipe Smoking for Relaxation and Reflection,’ states that there is no palate cleanser for pipe smoking, and that once the tongue is burnt by too hot a smoke, the only cure is time. I’m afraid he may be correct. But, if there is anything that may sooth and restore the tongue, I believe it to be mint. It can’t hurt, and besides, some of us just enjoy mint. *
Remise en Bouche Blend (Palate Cleanser Blend) - Everything sounds more elegant in French, don’t it? *
4 Parts mild Virginia/Burley blend *
To: 1 Part Sutliff Frosty Mint
Adjust to taste and effect. You may want to dedicate a small pipe to mint r/t ghosting of flavor.*
Next time a pipe snob starts sniffing indignantly at the air around you while your smoking mint, and asks you, “What’s that you’re smoking, there?,” raise your pinky and extend it primly and properly from your cob, look down your nose, and proclaim proudly in your most haughty French, “Remise en Bouche, bien sur, Monsieur (Palate cleanser, of course, Sir).” *
Try Sutliff Frosty Mint. Don’t be afraid, you might like it. We’ll keep it our little secret. We wouldn’t want to get black-balled from the pipe club. ;-)

Great mixer

Product: Sutliff Frosty Mint Bulk
I doubt if anyone can enjoy this tobacco straight out of the bag. It is just overwhelming taste. Now that being said it is a fantastic mixer. I have mixed this tobacco with many other aromatics as well as a few non-aromatics. Just a dab will do ya. P... Read More
ut a pinch or two with 4 to 8 ounces of another aromatic, preferably a coffee or chocolate flavor. You will find a very interesting and refreshing flavor. If your really brave put a pinch or two with a strong smoke. You will find this will calm and refresh a overpower strong tobacco. That is why I say it is great for mixing. Just remember a little bit goes a long way! Read Less

I smoked "Marlboro Menthol Smooth" Cigarettes for years and this stuff tastes almost exactly the same. That isn't a criticism. The reason I smoked those was because they didn't taste like a cigarette, but like a York peppermint patty. T... Read More
his is just the same.
I find it a novel and unique smoke, but I can only smoke small bowls sparingly. That is notable for me, since I usually chain smoke bowls throughout the day.

thol cigarette smoker for years so I figured maybe this stuff would give me that slight menthol taste in pipe tobacco. Made the mistake of packing up a full one of this stuff. Didn’t even make it through 1/4 bowl before I dumped it. It’s like smoking straight Vicks vapor rub. Not only that but it ghosted the pipe so bad that everything after tasted like it. Luckily I make pipes so I threw the pipe on the drill press and re drilled out the bowl a little larger to get rid of its remnants and started anew. Only thing I can say kinda good is before I did that I took like 4 strands, yes only 4 strands of tobacco and mixed it into a vanilla aro and it was like a minty vanilla. I won’t be using this stuff again unless I dedicate a pipe to just this tobacco. Read Less

This tobacco is so different from all the other tobaccos I have tried. It has a very strong taste of the mint and cannot be smoked straight. However, it is a perfect mixer with your regular daily tobacco to give it a cool refreshing kick. My recom... Read More

or clearing your head if you're feeling under the weather. Not something I would smoke regularly but it's kind of refreshing in its own way. If you have some of this kicking around, try blending it with a chocolate or a cherry aromatic for a more muted menthol experience. As a side note, the mint helps cool the smoke if you're new to pipes or have a fast cadence. Read Less

I tried this and expected a cheap menthol and I was very pleasantly surprised... Its just as it says, MINT! subtle chocolate notes, more like a hot chocolate mix. So if you love mint, and like chocolate give this a shot.

n your hands, beneath your wide brimmed Panama, at Churchill Downs.
Balkan Icehouse Blend:
1- Part Sutliff Frosty Mint,
To:
5- Parts of your favorite Balkan style blend.
Adjust to taste and effect, so that one is not overpowering the other. The balance seems a, “thin red line,” but most enjoyable once that balance is met. It is better the 1st 1/3 of the pipe, as the mint flavor seems to lose traction beyond that point. For that reason, it will smoke better in a small pipe.
Grecian lamb chops, with mint jelly? Maybe that’s stretching things a bit, but however you describe it, it is a pleasurable smoke for a hot summer’s day, or an after dinner mint. Read Less

ermint Altoids. The final 1/3 becomes more eucalyptus, and your tastebuds may have even recovered by that point enough to detect a hint of tobacco in there too. With the way the smoke assaulted me, I was sure it was going to just blister the heck out of my tongue, but as the anesthetic numbness faded I was relieved to find I hadn't been bitten at all. The room note was probably fine, but I can't be sure as I couldn't sense a thing but MINT with my nose until at least half an hour after I put the pipe down. A truly strange, strange experience, and while not completely unpleasant, I can't imagine it would ever become something I crave. Read Less

keep it in a jar cause the flavor dissipates. or dont if you want it to. drying it in a toaster oven on low made it smoke drier but definitely reduced the mint flavor, still good though.
If you like menthol cigarettes, you may want to bring a small amount.

d smoked slow, it is what it is but I dont find that it bites at all. I thoroughly enjoy this tobacco when im in the mood for it, I have a cob dedicated too it. Can be smoked on its own but its much more enjoyable when its mixed. 4 stars for meeting expectations and being exactly what it claims to be, a mint bombshell. It does have a bit of an unpleasant taste at times if its not dried enough and smoked solely on its own, still worthy of 4 stars for what it is. Dont compare it too much to anything else and keep your expectations in check. Ill be buying more for sure! Read Less

instantly cooling and soothing to nose and throat. My curiosity is satisfied and the next time I have a stuffy nose or raw throat, it’ll be a first resort. It has a minty nip but is otherwise mild. Stays lit well and makes a nice cloud of smoke. I’ll figure it out as a blender but it’s oddly satisfying as it is. I usually smoke Burley in one form or another so this is a major departure. It will most definitely ghost whatever you smoke it through. Probably not a permanent ghost but certainly there after smoking and letting the empty pipe rest for a few days. Read Less

If you like mint, consider this a 5-star rating, you'll probably like this.
I hated it, but I gave it 3.5 stars because that's the current average and I'm not one to drag down the average just because I couldn't handle it. It delivers as advertised. It over-delivers. It over-delivers and comes back to make sure you got the package.

In fact, I felt strongly pulled back for another, and another. I couldn't shake it out of my head for a week or so. It has this super cool smoke that was just, well, frosty! It truly lives up to its namesake. Listen, this reminds me of Captain Black Grape in so much as it just sounds like an awful idea and yet it's just not that bad in practice. Now, this isn't going to turn into a go-to tobacco, but it's a fun change of pace. I'd say this would please anyone who used to smoke Menthol cigarettes before pipe smoking. That rare breed should love this. Anyone else daring enough to try be warned...this will haunt your pipe with a ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future! Luckily I used a cob. But, forget what you've heard about cobs not absorbing flavors, Sutliff's Frosty Mint proves they can be ghosted beyond use. I can't say I love it, but I also can't say it's horrible, a solid 3 stars tobacco you'll just have to try for yourself. Read Less

n the only difference that in here you dont lick but smoke it. If you resist the persistence from the intense flavour you may, with some fortune detect the cardinal presence from virginias. Cavendish dominate making it a mild strength smoke while extremely intense in flavoring. Burley is barely noticiable although there is a hint from it in the dry astringency that the smoke brings.
I think it is in the second half to the last third of the smoke when it becomes more tobbacoish and you can detect the ingredients, but fact is most people cant bear to reach till that point because of the initial mint intensity.
In my opinion this is a blend that may be exclusively to experiment with. I have played adding it a bit of latakia, some oriental and increase the virginia and the results had been quite amazing, i have called this personal one "Transylvania" and friends have liked it. Read Less
