🔥 🔥 🔥 Yeah, “goopy” is the word that is often used to describe this one. It can be managed though. :) Thank you for the video and tips! -Kevin

I’m a lover of Molto Dolce tobacco, it’s a real treat for smokers with a sweet tooth.

Absolutely love this blend. Great dessert smoke. Worth the extra step of pre-drying! 🐝🐝🐝🐝

I just learned how to enjoy Molto Dolce. But this was not until after giving away 6 of my 7 tins....did I finally learn how to enjoy that sticky gooey mess of a blend. And this is after leaving the one open tin I have, open for days and it not drying at all. So, what I tried is: I spread one healthy pinch, evenly and thinly, over a paper towel (leave no mounds). I then run it through the microwave at 6 to 9 seconds at first. The required time will vary from one to another microwave...so start with little time and work up. Then try another 4 to 6 seconds if the first run doesn't dry it enough. You do not want to over-nuke it because it will ignite and produce a thick cloud and ember inside the m-wave (I know because I set the time for 20 seconds for my first pinch). Once it is perfectly dried and not over-cooked, it's turned from near black and sticky, to a medium brown and dry to the touch...yet still pliable. When done in the nuker, I slide it from the paper towel into a bowl. And then onto the next: pinch, spread, nuke, dump into a bowl...and repeat until it is all gone through this process. Then transfer it all from the bowl, back into its tin. What a difference drying makes to this blend. I was going to give it a one-half star review, on SmokingPipes. But after doing I did, and smoking that first and second bowl, I had to give it a four star rating instead. I would've given it a five star rating...if I wouldn't need to do all I did for it to be not just usable...but very enjoyable, tasty, and yummy. I highly recommend trying at least one bowl's worth done this way. This retains all of the flavoring added that a pressing of paper towels is likely to remove. Also, after nuking it, I smoked it in a Clay pipe. And with one light, it burned down to ash and the pipe cleaner I used came out nearly as clean as it was before using it.

I use the paper towel method and some weight to press out the excess casing. Also smells like some extra spices of some sort in there. You can also mix with some straight Virginia to your liking. Absolutely amazing blend.

I couldn't believe the scent, flavor, and room note from this blend. It reminded me very much of that to a German Chocolate Cake. I have a little bit left in a canning jar and holding onto it. People who smell this one in my home, really like it.

❤🎉❤🎉 ❤I am pretty much an aromatics smoker so far. I have discovered this and it just may be my new favorite! It really is like smoking a dessert. I dried my tobacco just a few minutes and didn’t have problems with keeping it lit.

❤❤❤❤❤ well, I ordered specifically for this review and, being in Canada, paid heavy duty on it, but worth every penny. When I smoked my first bowl, I was amazed at how light the smoke is, with so much taste. Used a corncob, but mine was not goopy at all. I’ve smoked about 5 bowls now and never had a problem lighting it. I pack and false light just like other tobaccoes and it stays perfectly lit for me. Just one false light. I love everything about this tobacco: delicate, tasteful and sublime. The honey and vanilla really make it unique and delicious. Exhaling through the nose gives added senses. This is hands down my favorite tobacco and I wish I had started with this blend when I started; it’s so easy to smoke with no tongue bite no matter how heavy you smoke it. Toppings don’t burn off and I enjoy every sip down to the bottom of the bowl. For some reason, really no work for me, just easy going and full enjoyment. Love this blend, top choice for me. (Mind you, this is my first tin. If I end up getting more when I visit the States, I might find a goopy mess, but not the tin that I got)

Thanks, Mutt. Come on out to Portland, OR for a meet n' greet. We'll go up to the Seattle Pipe Club home-base and stock up!

One of my favorites. I love the over the top flavored aromatics.

All Stars for me!, Definitely one of my favorites, I am very much into the aromatic and the sweet ones!, room note is amazing and the flavor is wild, I caught notes of what reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch on the back. It is a bit goopy but not bad, and it burned fairly easily without too much heat. I have several cans aging, I will always keep it on hand.

😋😋😋😋This is one of my favourites. It's sooo sweet. I smoke this one exclusively in my Vauen Friddo churchwarden. Good things are worth working for.

Thanks for the video!😊

💥💥💥💥 Tried this one out because it was on sale with several other blends. It had me hooked from the get go. One of my go to blends.

I have been following you since the beginning and just wanted to say thank you for the great content!

The best pipe tobacco of the world!

Have heard so much about this. Just ordered two cans, can’t wait to watch this again and try with you!

Hello again. I am very surprised that i disagreed with all your comments about this one. Mine was damp upon opening but no more so than a lot of others. I had no more trouble lighting my bowl than with many others. Mine stayed lit just fine, probably better than others. I loved the taste and aroma. As for the flavor, the name "molto dolce" means [i think] very sweet, so its just what it says it is. This wont topple my all time favorite Autumn Evening but it is very close to doing so. I loved it. Thanks for blend club and all your efforts!!!

I always look forward to your Blend Club videos. I hope you have a wonderful day!

My mother's family escaped fascist Italy in 1943 when she was 12 years old. The Italian tongue had to be spoken aroud my grandmother's sake. Molto dolce is a very common phrase which means "very sweet". It sounds like this tobacco company aptly named this blend. I think I'd like to pick up a tin just to satisfy my household with a good room note. Thank you greatly for this review!

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ love this one !

😊👍 I enjoy Molte Dolce very much. It's the perfect "dessert" smoke! I don't have a problem keeping it lit, probably because I let it sit out for 15 minutes. Love the vanilla, caramel sweetness in this blend.

I haven't tried this blend, being an aromatic piper, I might like it, but like everyone, I have my tastes, it has been on my list to try, perhaps soon. But here's the thing I most want to say, MC - your instruction on the "breath" method has made my lifestyle so much more than it was. It's given me the ability to enjoy blends I could have never enjoyed without it. Hat tip to you again sir... 🤠

😀😀😀😀😀I give this one 5, I really like the honey and vanilla. My tin was almost 2 years old when opened, still very wet. A new favorite for me.😄😄😄😄😄Mrs. Whitetail likes it also. Mild, sweet, no bite. Had to relight some, but after a bit, seemed to stay lit better.

🐸🐸🐸🐸. I like this one, especially in the fall. It's so heavily topped that it looks and feels greasy, it leaves wet marks on the top of my bowl when I pack one, it's not real easy to get lit or keep lit, and mine has been sitting in its tin for months. What can I say, I like em goopy. This blend does have a very distinct smell to it, sweet but with something sharp in there. I can't call it unique though, because Sutliff Creme Brulee is so similar that I wonder if its the same thing but available cheaper in bulk... Thanks for another great video Muttonchop Piper!

🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌 I love this blend ! I smoke at least 2 tins a month . A lot of , if not all of , the negative effects of this blend can be totally eliminated by placing it on just a cookie sheet overnight. If this is done it lites easy and stays lit .

You ok mutt ? Looks like your pipe has fought back and clocked you one in the right eye, big luv from the Uk

👌👌👌👌 a true dessert tobacco, concerning aromatics it´s one of the best IMO. tnks for this upload, you are the best we have on youtube.

I’m glad I passed on this blend. Thank you for your review which confirmed my choice. I do not want a goopy and heavily cased blend. As always a joy to experience your videos. Thank you, Brian L (pater)

I loved your likes so much. Thank you for everything you give us. I'm from your audience from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 I have a question Do you have a club or group that I can join and really benefit from what you offer?! And thank you 🙏❤

This is my first blend club video in which you describe a blend I am already familiar with...yeah! I could actually watch your video and understand everything you were talking about with the tobacco because I have already experienced it! For me, that made watching the video all that more enjoyable because I could understand where you were coming from when you talked about the blend! There are SO MANY blends out there and usually I have no experience with the majority of them. Not this one! I really enjoy this one - even if it seems a little more cumbersome to work with! Thanks for your enjoyable review (as always!) and Happy Piping to you as well!

Love your wiz. Rock on Mutt.

👍👍👍. The flavor of this blend is definitely a good one for a new pipe smoker, but it makes you work for it that’s for sure. The attention needed to maintain a good smoke might be a little too much for someone just starting the hobby. Upon opening my tin, the aroma filled the entire room. Carmel, vanilla and honey, it’s all there working together. This is definitely the wettest tobacco blend I have ever encountered. Very difficult to get and stay lit. Once it is lit, the smoke is rich and smooth. Very delicious. It does like to get hot and no matter what pipe I use, I get a gurgle and have to sop up the moisture with a pipe cleaner more than once. Now it’s not all from the tobacco it’s partially from the way I smoke too so I do take that into consideration. The room note is very pleasant and this is a tobacco I could smoke inside if I wanted to. My wife enjoys the aroma of the smoke as well, which is a rarity. So yeah, I recommend this blend, but with a warning that the blend will make you work for it lol. Enjoy!

I'd love to see an updated video tour of your pipe and tobacco collection!

☕☕☕☕ This was my first time with Molto Dolce. I like a heavy flavor with an aromatic. I was pleasantly hit by the aroma as soon as I opened it. My first bowl was not a disappointment. This is something I will definitely order again. It was a little moist, but burned well.

Im not an aromatics guy, but there are a few that I like. Molto Dolce being one of them. What I usually do is dry it out a little before smoking, and then drop a few Nording keystones in the bowl. This cuts down on the moisture and ‘goopiness’ for me.

Buy the bulk version, Sutliff's Creme Brulee. Exact same blend. I buy 1 pound bags from JR Cigars cheap. Subscribe to their email notifications, once evey month or 2 they will email you a coupon for 25-30% off your order. It doesn't count toward a lot of the cigars but it usually does count toward most of the pipe tobacco. So a 30 dollar pound of tobacco I order for around 20 bucks. I've bought a couple pounds of Creme Brulee so far. What I have gotten so far it does come WET in my experience. But as wet as it is you just need to dry it out for a while, it will still do the snap crackle pop when you put fire to it but when you get it going it smokes better than you would think for how goopy it is. Dry it out and stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. It really is a sweet treat.

🔥🔥🔥 Upon opening the tin I was reminded of Nutty Irishman. The goopy stickiness was a turn off. But I'm willing to try anything once. I do like the flavor and taste of the tobacco. Reminds me of a cross of Autumn Evening and Nutty Irishman. Hard to get lit. But once going I was able to maintain it. Goopy tobacco aside. I'd definitely keep a tin around. Decent tobacco.

🍫🍫🍫🍫 I really like this one! It tastes exactly like what it says it is! It’s like smoking a Werther’s Original. It even leaves the sweetness on my lips. You can’t go wrong with it.

🍮🍮🍮🍮 I have found that drying out the entire tin of Molto Dolce on a large paper towel with a small fan on low speed helped quite a bit. For me it seems like this one needs to be smoked at a lower, dryer humidity than most other tobaccos. (I also didn’t remove any toppings) I’m enjoying a bowl currently that I previously dried out and haven’t had to deal with relights but it’s slow one because it can easily overheat. The honey, vanilla and caramel are worth the trouble. It’s a great dessert smoke.

I have a can of that, I got it in 2013. I've just never got around to smoking it yet.

The roomnote alone makes it worthwhile to me. Incredible smell. Definitely not a blend to light and begin working on something, though. Have to constantly tend it like you said.

When I started a few months ago I bought a few aromatics and thought that I would enjoy them but now I have them just sitting there and I don’t think age will change anything. Perhaps when it gets colder I might enjoy a couple of them occasionally but I will use an old cob when I do. I respect that many enjoy them and some smoke them exclusively. Taste is subjective. Once I discovered English and the virginia periques i was off to the races! I love your videos and watch every single one all the way through because you sir are a compelling man and KZfaq would be a very worse place without you. Keep ‘em coming!!

🌻🌻🌻I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t crave it, either. If I felt like an aromatic, this is one I’d probably consider. It seemed really wet and the topping was thick, but it smoked easily and burned through without any relights.

You have probably covered this issue in the past … the difference between ‘casing’ and ‘topping.’ I’ve found the explanation by Jeremy Reeves to be helpful - he is the head blender for Cornell and Diehl. From his perspective, casing is a more subtle approach, topping more overt. The words are often used the same. Some people like tobacco and want a flavoring that enhances the tobacco’s natural taste. Other people don’t like the tobacco and want the tobacco taste to be erased and to just have the flavoring. Reminds of of my always-issue re cruising with my wife - she sees the cruise ship as a floating hotel that goes to interesting ports. I like the experience of being on the ship and often don’t care to go off the ship to see the ports.

⭐⭐✨ 2.5 - I won’t try another bowl until it gets some dry time. Tough to light and keep going at the moisture level from a fresh tin. I found my normal cadence was too slow and was frequently relighting. I got into a tightrope walk between bowl warmth and stoking. The flavors were strong but not overwhelming during that time and my wife commented on the pleasant room note. I thought about trying a second bowl today but decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Will retry after it dries some. Smoked in a Falcon which simplied the goo removal 😊.

Thanks for your review. I still have a well aged tin of Molto Dolce and still didn't give it a try. Just subscribed to your channel, curious of your next tobacco reviews. Happy Puffing Lars

⚜️⚜️⚜️ Delicious aromatic. Let it sit on a paper towel for 20 minutes or so to dry a bit. You can taste tobaccos, it’s there behind the flavors.

Cornell and Diehl's Apricots and Cream crackles upon light also.😁

🍯🍯🍯🍯 This one was definitely ‘dolce.’ I picked up on the vanilla, honey, caramel immediately. For me, this was an enjoyable after-dinner blend but the goop factor brought it down a notch.

Sounds like a very wet “dessert tobacco” but definitely sounds delicious. Going to give it a try! Great video as always, my friend. Happy smokes!

Good Evening 😊 Awesome review 👍🏼 Was just wondering if you have a team to read and answer to the comments made 🤔 Have a great day 👋🏼 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

22:31 😅I would almost never smoke a just opened aromatic. I usually place the open tin aside at least overnight, sometimes for day or two, until the moisture feels right. Also, it might set an unopened can for at least 6 MONTHS. I have 2 unopened cans aging now.

🚛🚛 so what i have is wet wet and a year old. I can let it sit for an hour and it doesn't change far as moisture, but i found i can smoke it through a church warden with no problems.

🐺🐺🐺 Agreed it is a lot of work. The flavor is good but not great. A bit simple. I just taste sugary sweetness. I think this can be found also as Sutliff Crème Brulee bulk and it comes a little drier.

So my falcon pipe would be perfect for this so i can clean the bottom out very well after.

New to your channel, listened to some older episodes, appreciate your style and easy way of ‘being with us.’ This is fun - the hobby but also feeling like I am with you in the video. All that said, my personal experience is that once we get some drying time on a blend, the tin smell (or rub in fingers smell) OFTEN does not translate into the smoking. When I read reviews the reviewers are OFTEN shifting their tin or loose tobacco smelling into the review of the smoking. Lots of aromatics, like Molto Dolce, do a side shift from the smell into the smoke, and people can be disappointed or unsure.

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 At best and for me, it is just too wet and it is tough to enjoy. You are spot on with this review.

🗡🗡🗡 overall not bad, hard to manage but a good flavor. I smoke it once in a while but cant keep it in rotation. Sutliff vanilla custard is the star for me.

🥴🥴 the goop factor alone gives this blend a 🥴 I attempted to dry this out for five days on paper on my desk in my apartment with temperatures in the high 90’s to low 100’s . Any other tobacco under these circumstances would be bone dry after only being exposed to those temperatures for 24hrs. It was to much work to enjoy. With constant relighting, dottle, and burning to hot. I tried to give it three bowls but that was it for me . I gave it a second emoji only because I found it to be a excellent blending component. I blended the remainder of the Molto Dolce with around 8oz of my Frankenstein blend ( it’s what I call all the remnants of my meh tobacco that I throw into a large mason Jar) and to my surprise it was pretty good. To me Molto Dolce tin and room note reminds me of Cotton candy not the blue raspberry but the plain vanilla. To all you home blenders give it a try you too might be pleasantly surprised.

You announce more or less to explain why there's no 'light brown' tobacco in the blend visible. But you don't explain it. Or did I miss it? Is it because the Virginia discolours through the great amount of casing? Thanks for the videos and tutorials! 🤗

Hello, sir . I watch your videos from Iran and I enjoy watching your videos very much. Can I please make a video about Captain Black tobacco? And also the aromatic tobaccos of the McBarren series

Only tried it once. I honestly did not much care for it. First off, I don't care for Vanilla blends (I just don't like Vanilla). That's on me. Some people love that. I also didn't like the goopy mess that it was and that it created in the pipe. I had to run the tobacco through an old dehydrator for a while in the garage to dry it out some. I give it 2 Muttonchops

🌲🌲 good flavor, way too wet for me, i understand it'sthe heavy casing not actual moisture but it reacts all the same. I could not get it to dry out at all even after days of letting it sit out in the hot garage. The casing is so heavy it crackles while lighting it. I do have to say though, once you get it going it stayed lite. I probably wouldn't pick this one up again, maybe if I lived in a more dry state. Flavors were definitely as advertised, great room and tin notes.

I pulled out some to watch this video and smoke with you 😢😢😢😢

😈😈😈 the blend is good dont get me wrong but its a lot of work to smoke it and prepare it it’s goopy and wet as you mentioned you need to have a dedicated pipe for this blend because otherwise it will ghost you pipe with that casing Thanks

If you enjoy this one and don’t like it so goopy and you’d like it in bulk. Then order sutliff creme brûlée it’s the same thing

First time to find where to purchase Casey Jones last run loose tobacco?

Thanks for this review! Is there an aromatic out there that's even more cased/topped than Molto Dolce?

Is there a way to get Blend Club future blends so one can purchase them ahead of time?

Hi I keep getting tongue bite, where am I going wrong?

Just stick to English or Lakeland . If you enjoy "goop" you might as well do away with The Pipe and buy those electronic horrors. Good Tobacco has flavors and joy. Casings on tobacco is like Golf "a good walk spoilt

Pour it out into a paper towel. Roll it up and give it a good squeeze before throwing the entire thing in the garbage. That sounds just awful.

Can’t you end up relighting too much? End up with a burnt/ashy taste and lose the great flavor of the tobacco? Thanks for the informative content as always my good man! Hope you’re feeling better and God’s blessings

👍 Only one thumbs up for me. This blend represents all the things I do not like in a tobacco blend. Sticky, wet, and over flavored. Almost no tobacco flavor--just the toppings. And god forbid you smoke it in anything other than a cob because it is thick, goopy, and leaves behind a coating/ghost that will linger in the pipe for a week. No thank you for the Sutliff aromatics for me.

🇺🇸 Smells great but that’s it. Just not worth the effort. Gooey, hard to light, ghosting, and tongue bite.

🤮One oj the worst. Had mine sit out for a week, yes a whole week, and it still wasn't dry enough. This joke is also a complete waste of money because it's so heavy from the casing. Meaning it has noticeably less in the tin from other tobaccos.

I agree that the flavor and room note are great, but it's difficult to work with and pretty gloopy. The room note on initial light reminds me of campfire roasted marshmallows and the flavor is a nice vanilla caramel with a hint of baking spice like cinnamon and perhaps cardamom or a touch of clove.

I dry mine out and ita aa beautiful dreamy aristocratic historical tasting wonder

out of five. Mine was very wet. Left it spread out on paper towels for about two hours, and was still sticky. After two rounds in the microwave for 15 seconds and letting it air again for an hour I was able to get it going much easier. It has a wonderful sweet taste and aroma, but took a lot of work

🧋🧋🧋 Aptly named Molto Dulce for this over the top Lucretia Borgia of aromatic tobaccos. The vanilla caramel honey aroma of the tinned product and room note is a delight- but this mixture is just over the top coated in propylene glycol casing agent and is very sticky. The tobacco looks and smells great like a fine Louis Vuitton handbag, but for all the promise of the aroma and effort packing it so you can maintain good draw and keep it lit, the smoking reward is just weak vanilla caramel and mostly black cavendish. Still it is quite different and has its place on the shelf. Definitely worth experiencing.
