I just spent 3 weeks in Lithuania and have discovered some very interesting Pipe Tobaccos along the way! JACARANDA is one of them.I have to say that the tin art is what initially caught my eye.A beautiful purple tin with the words TROPIC FRAGRANCE PIPE MIXTURE on the front.I really did not know what to expect but i was intrigued. When I opened the tin and foil bag on the inside I was greeted by a visually stunning blend. It is a mix of HUGE dark chunks of tobacco with some light strands thrown in for variation. It looks very similar to C&D's aromatic bulk mixtures.The tin aroma is that of sweet tropical dried fruits. The kind you find in the GRANOLA section of the supermarket. I filled up a huge Peterson Bent I brought on the trip.At first light I was greeted by a wonderful sweet taste and heavenly sweet aroma.This is a full AROMATIC. But, as I have stated in many of my reviews, it is sweet and DRY. I tasted berries, citrus, and Vanilla.It is very cool and burns evenly. After 20 mins all you taste is a sweet something wonderful. This is a blend for Aromatic Afficianados not Tobacco Afficianados! Itis is a great tobacco that benefits from about 3 leaves of IRC 3 Star Ebony added to each bowl. It gives it a nicer Vanilla component. This is a lovely tobacco while sipping a sweet drink or soda. It is fun! a lot like Cross Eyed Cricket without the Latakia. If you like Aromatics and get a chance to buy this -do so. I paid 42LT or $16US for a 100gram tin.3 of 4 aromatic stars!!

I've bought a pouch of this staff at random. Maybe even colour of pack drawn my attention. And when I opened the pouch, I've been pretty nice surprised with its aroma. I could definite it as "weird", but not bad, not bad.. Tropic fruits are certain, and touch of smoke seemed to me. Dense coarse flakes, that been hard to pack to the bowl. Lights not easy because of flakes size an density. I expected the stuff will burn stable and evenly, but I had to puff energy when approach to the end of bowl. Smoke aroma was very pleasant at first, but I've lost all my imperssions, going ahead. Anyway, fans of aromatics could be surprised with the combinations of all blend parameters. Perhaps, I'll be back to this pretty unusual staff from Planta.
