Planta Cellini Classico
(2.64)
The best of the specially light and aromatic varieties from Tuscany and Umbria were selected for this Italian blend. The light yellow of excellent virgin grades harmonizes with the dark black cavendish and the burley. The orange flavored topping makes for a mild, yet sweet blend.
Notes: The original's recipe was from Italy, but now, is produced in Germany, by Planta Tabak.

A classic aromatic on the danish style, considered on this context Cellini is a delicious one both for the nose and the tongue. CCR has a fragrant casing, based on zing of orange and something caramel-creamy-nutty, which interplay very well with tobacco: it smokes cool, smooth, with a buttery mouth-feel very pleasant and (you know) so rare for an aromatic!

I smoked the pouch version.
A black and tan mixture that came at the right dryness level, making this cased tobacco smokeable.
Nothing to it, really, other than the awesome and unique orange casing and flavour.
This alone makes Cellini Classico Riversa worth the try if you can find some!

Got a sample from an Italian (who else) colleague. Light colored ribbons of Virginia and black Cavendish. Nice aroma of oranges, you immediately smell what you'll get: a mild virginia with fruity, orange peel. A nice alternative to the traditional, simple flavored vanilla aromatics.
Packs asily and smokes cool and dry. An uncomplicated and fresh tobacco.

Nice little label, on the sober side.
The aroma is definitively orange, sweet orange, like a candy.
Nice, broad cut of golden, brown and black shades.
Very easy to light and maintain.
As per the average aromatic, not very satisfying in terms of nicotine kick or strength.
But if you like a nice good quality aromatic, this one is worth the try, because the orange casing is pretty cool, with no tongue bite attack.

In all fairness to this tobacco the following must be said: Europeans will like this and Americans will tolerate it. This is a very unusual tobacco . It reminds me a lot of a cross between Blue Note by Dann and Top Black Cherry by Gawith and Hoggarth. It is very dry and sweet. Not goopy or cloying but very "European Sweet" I picked it up in Vilnius, Lithuania recently for only about $5 American.Worth a shot for the adventurous who like Orange -Citrus type Aromatics. 3 European Aromatic stars or 2 American Aromatic stars. You decide.

You unfortunate friends who are heavy smokers of cigarettes and haven´t found a pipe tobacco to provide you with the same quantity of daily puffs, here´s the rub. Extremely good choice for a beginner with it´s soft aroma and gentle smoke without a tongue bite. Most aromatics I´ve tried have a nasty sting, but this is pure silk. Excellent choice for an evening in the pub, because it allows you to smoke your pipe as much as you like (which is inevitable when you enjoy more pints than one) and it has very good "wife rating". After a month, you´ll propably find this bit too mild for normal use and will seek for stronger pleasure. But a good little tobacco it is.
