Giubileo d’Oro is a very middle of the road English, not bad, but not especially good either. I enjoyed the flavor, but it was utterly forgettable in a crowed field of English blends. The fact that it’s a flake is probably more of a detriment than a bonus, as it makes prep that much more of a pita than it’s competitors. Flakes usually concentrate the flavors more than loose cut, but it doesn’t show here. I’m giving it 2 stars because there are so many more English blends that do the job better.

I have been smoking Savinelli's Giubileo d'Oro for a while now and I'm finally reaching the end of my tin which means I'll do a review.
This tobacco is an English Blend produced by Mac Baren for Savinelli it only comes in a 50 gram tin to my knowledge.
Upon opening the tin you are met with the typical smokey aroma from the Latakia, and hint of sweetness which I'm guessing comes from the Virginias. The tin has three rows of Mac Baren flakes which are very easy to fold and stuff or rub out at your pleasure and preference. I find them at a smokable dryness though you can dry them to your liking.
The flakes are easy to light and I sense no bite even with long puffs while getting it lit. It burns clean and requires an average amount of relights.
Now to taste. I find this a particularly well blended tobacco and the flavors meld one with another. You can taste the Latakia and the sweet, sort of citrusy note from the Virginias. If I could describe this blend in one word it would be mellow. At first, I admit, this was a bit too mellow for my taste and I was tempted to jar it and forget it. I am glad I didn't. I now notice a nice complexity and I enjoy it. However if I'm honest it is still forgettable when compared to my usual preferences like Artisans Blend and Old Dublin. I think for some this could be an all day sort of English. I have noticed more flavor in a deeper bowl, I have a Kaywoodie Large Billiard which I've been using for my review.
Pros: very consistent burn rate and flavor. Cons: very mellow to the point of obscuring components.
I have to admit this has grown on me, but I don't think I'll order any in the near future. Let me know what you guys think.
