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
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

Very mild with no tongue bite. The room note is very nice and stays lit.

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

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!
