Sunset Rum became my go-to for about a decade.

I'd be remiss if I didn't review Sutliff's Sunset Rum. A bit of back story...I began the pipe hobby in the early 90s and unlike most pipers who start with aromatics I began with stout Balkan blends. Dunhill's My Mixture 965, Balkan Sasieni, Butera's ... Read More
Pelican, Esoterica's Pembroke and G.L.Pease's Abingdon were among my favorites. I was young and liked a nice heady smoke. This went on until I finished college and then one day I dropped my pipe while getting out of my truck. GASP! My favorite pipe hit the pavement and took a nasty ding causing my mind to go into panic mode. I had many pipes I smoked regularly, really nice pipes too mind you, but I bought a display case and basically shelved them all. It was not my intention to stop smoking my pipes, but I became paranoid and keeping them from damage became paramount. I did not however give up smoking pipe tobacco. I simply started rolling my own pipe tobaccos more and smoking my pipes less. That's where Sunset Rum came into my life. Many of the blends I regularly smoked in a pipe just didn't have the right cut for rolling in papers. In my search for a finer ribbon cut blend I discovered Sunset Rum. That's when I discovered aromatics and decided some were actually pretty good in their own way. In fact, Sunset Rum became my go-to RYO blend for about a decade. These days I've returned to my pipes and the luxury of English/Balkan blends and the universe is right again. But, I'll always have a fondness for Sunset Rum. It's funny how a single act can change a person so profoundly, and yet without such detours in life we might never try something new. Life is full of tangents. Sunset Rum was a nice long adventure I took after college. I'm happy to say it smokes great in a pipe as intended too. Enjoy. Read Less

Sutliff blends are starting to dominate my cellar and my rotations. This one isn't daily for me, but it is one I revisit frequently. Cool smoke, typically one light, and flavorful to the end. I prefer this after dark, on the weekend, in good company.... Read More

Light but not too light. Heavier on the rum with a hint of vanilla. Let dry for 30-40 minutes. The burley doesn't bite. Will be ordering more!
Flavorful but rough on the tongue...

I tried this blend based on others' reviews. While it did have a very good taste of rum, it burned like hell. The tip of my tongue felt like it had a paper cut. The main reason for 3 1/2 star rating was that I just couldn't keep this blend lit no mat... Read More
ter how many tips and tricks I tried. For a seasoned hobbyist, this might be a good blend for you. I don't recommend it as a starter aromatic blend. My favorite is Sutliff's Irish Creme. Read Less
Good Combinations...

Burley and Virginia.
Rum,Vanilla, Caramel.
Black Cavendish blend with zesty flavors, holds flavor to bottom of bowl, clean burning.
Very mild, even if smoked a little faster-no bite, lots of compliments on room aromas.
Disappointed

One to definitely keep on the shelf. The aroma and smoke is a crowd pleaser. It’s great on its own but I also love blending it with the vanilla custard by sutliff as well. Worth a try for a couple more bucks.
Very pleasant

A very nice aro. Not so sweet, it has a very pleasant aroma of rum. Burns well, does not bite the tongue, the taste is delicious and the excellent room note
My buddy's go-to for about a decade

My buddy, I believe his review is right above this one, has been smoking this for a long time. I prefer English blends, so keep that in mind. Burley is not my favorite tobacco, but this blend does burley and virginia right. The tin/bag note of Sunset... Read More
Rum is great. You could bury your nose in it. It also smells wonderful. After years of smelling it, I have been around for the compliments on the room note. It burns nice and even. The taste is intoxicating. You get this mellow, creamy taste of rum cake (without the calories). Read Less

Some tasty stuff. Definitely has a rum/brown sugar flavor, which lasts almost the whole bowl. Smokes nice and smooth.
