Planta Marc de Champagne
(2.00)
Mixed in special proportions Gold Virginia and fully mature black cavendish produce this bright and elegant blend. The aroma of creamy truffles with a slight taste of champagne Marc de Champagne perfectly complement this unusual, but really exquisite composition.
Notes: (Marc de Champagne is a liquer made out of the pips and skins of, in this case, grapes from the region of Champagne, then barrel-aged. Think grappa but with age and the brownish color from having seen some oak. Marc exists from most wine producing regions of France, most notably Marc de Bourgogne or Marc d'Alsace- incidentally in the Champagne region this product is actually known as Rataffia).

Yay first one on this blend. It seems very hard to find any information on this tobacco and rare are those who seem to have heard of it before.
I really liked the smell from the tin. Though I still find it difficult to identify, somehow it reminds me local sweets that I used to get when going on holiday in the south of France, Provence. Some kind of fruit paste. That being said, it says "booze" on the tin so it must have some kind of Champagne smell.
The packing and charring came really easy. I found the smoke agreeable, nice and a little thick, but not too much. I used already several different pipes to smoke this blend and, sorry, I can't even remember which, and more over, not even which was better.
I recommend this blend for the beginners, like me, who don't know much but will appreciate something a little light between the crazy Lat. experiments.
