I smoked the original Rum & Maple back in the 1960's and remember it as being OK.
I tried Sutliff's Maple Street and found it wanting.
OTOH, I worship Barbados Plantation, Sutliff's premium rum blend.
My first two Sutliffs were MD and MS. Liked MD a lot but found it's taste to be just sweet, and that wasn't what I was seeking. (Remember, I didn't know what I was seeking). Didn't like Maple Street at all, I think because I could taste the tobacco. Yes, folks, it's true: With MD you cannot taste the tobacco....at all. After two abortive tries with non-Sutliff blends I had a "d'oh!" moment: I drink a rather lot of rum, so...... and I opened the tin of BP and it's been my all day every day pipeful, when ever I get to smoke during cold weather -- not often -- but during the more pleasant months it's been my constant companion. I don't know what to mak eof the whole thing. In mny first pipe life mid 60's to mid 80's I primarily smoked Balkan Sobranie, a few Dunhill blends, and Escudo. When my second pipe life began in the summer of 2016 (quite a hiatus, yes?) I couldn't tolerate the couple of English blends I tried and I never got to Escudo. I tried an aromatic (in the mid 1960's I began with Cherry Blend, Rum and Maple, Paladin.... have not most of us began with aromatics?) and the one I tried was MD.... and the rest is babbling.....
