Planta Cellini Classico

I don’t usually smoke aromatics, actually I smoke very rare and I like only few of them, but this is definitely my favorite aromatic! It might seem like a rather feminine tobacco, but even so, it enchants you with everything it has The aspect is very beautiful, beginning with the elegant tin and the golden package in which the tobacco is kept, plus the tobacco is beautiful, having some large pieces of golden virginia, and smaller pieces of black cavendish and some burley. Upon opening the tin, an amazing floral smell hits you like a spring wind, along with a citrus smell and something smooth. Without exaggeration, it is such a beautiful smell that a perfume could be invented after this blend, for young, elegant and beautiful women! The tobacco is a bit wet when first opening the tin, so you need to let it dry about 10 minutes before smoking it. If you left it to dry enough, it will light up relatively easy and will not need other relights, it burns very well and doesn’t get hot (except if the tobacco is too dry). The room note is maximum, any wife, girlfriend, sister, mother and woman on the terrace and around you will be charmed by the smell. The taste is also very special, but it’s hard to say exactly what it is. First of all, it is a smooth smoke, soft, silky, that caresses your mouth. Many say it tastes of citrus and I agree to some extent, it taste a bit like orange skin, but only a little, because it’s not sour at all, on the contrary, it’s sweet, floral, with some vanilla and other sweets (meringue, cotton candy... I know, it may sound weird, but that’s what the taste leads me to think of) An excellent tobacco for aromatics fans.

Planta does a fantastic job with this tobacco. Cellini Classico is amazing. Full flavored. Complex aroma: for me and for my pipe, a very special source of true joy.

Someone said of this blend (see below): "I think this can be a right aromatized choice for a beginner". I agree absolutely, and also with the rating. Only one more thing: It leaves a very pleasant aroma into the bowl. For this reason I have chose this blend in many ocassions for the first smokings in a new pipe.

A very good choice.. Pleasent room note with a very good taste and a relaxing flavor.. I totally recommend this tobacco for begginers. Surely added in my rotation.

Throughout the bowl, the pipe smoker shifts between several tastes Creme, woody, hayish at times. Overall, a pleasant, "rich" smoke.

I am glad i tried this blend. A nice pleasant easy going smoke to enjoy without really concentrating on smoking it.

I've let my initial impression (see below) stay. I have however decided to try this again and having done so decided that it is worthy, in my opinion, of upgrading to 3 stars (recommended). I have learnt to control the tongue bite by smoking this tobacco in a Peterson p-lip. Value for money, two thumbs up, a great pub tobacco but due to the after aroma of stale cigarettes not worthy of 4 stars for home use (not my wife's opinion but mine). This is good stuff. Give it a try.

Rather pleasant nose out of the jar and stayed lit, but, ohhhhh my bitten tongue. It felt like I was licking a briar patch. The room note was rather nice but the next morning the room smelt like I'd been smoking 'tailor made'cigarettes. Other people have had different experiences to me, from reading reviews some have, so I will rate it as 'somewhat recommended' as you may have a different experience when you try it.

Excelenta alegere pentru iubitorii de aromatice. Unii spun ca e compot de fructe dar mie imi place. Un tutun usor si aromat perfect pentru zile fierbinti de vara.

This blend came recommended from a fellow smoker who shares my passion for Winslow No 1. That's why I didn't hesitate to put this blend on top of my shopping list. After opening the 50g pouch I experienced a very pleasant & light odor. I was puzzled at first but then identified it as exactly the same smell as "orange jaffa cake" including the scent of the famous thin dark chocolate casing. My expectations were right up there when I fired up the first bowl. A light orangy test was present (but very distant) during the first 2-3 puffs and then suddenly disappeared. Stronger puffs resulted in just a heavier tobacco taste and a sore tongue. The tobacco taste is indeed very dominant and I wasn't able to detect the orange flavor during the rest of that bowl. It's not a bad tobacco, I would say medium quality with medium+ strength. But the aroma is just too faint imho to enjoy it as an aromatics lover. I will definitely finish this pouch but wouldn't buy it again. A classical 2 out of 4, ok but nothing special.
