Planta Cellini Classico
(2.65)
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.

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.

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.

This is very sweet tobacco, great for the new smoker which satisfies the needs for an all day aromatic. The tobacco's natural aromas do occasionally become detectable and the smoke does render a full body. I never seemed to trace any orange in the blend, only an generic licory-chocolaty sweetness.

Not too bad a blend, I got it as a 25g sample at my baccy, I still have about 17g left, its been about 4 months. I guess if one really likes cavendish it would be very enjoyable, its just that I am very much in a virginia phase of pipe smoking and nothing else does it for me. I do remember enjoying smoking it, i just did not have the time to return to it, but do not let my review put you off. Ill update when I have another few bowls. Mo, South Africa

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.

I stumbled upon this tobacco while training for a slow-smoking contest, since it was the tobacco to be used. I thought it would have been an agony (I'm a latakia-addicted), but I found it quite tolerable indeed. The orange flavouring isn't so overwhelming, you can still taste the tobaccos which are quite good, notably the virginias. The packing is easy if you have the wariness to rub the Virginia sheets, which come in the dimension of Alinghi's mainsail.
