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.

Ed eccoci qui a parlare di uno dei più grandi misteri del mondo tabagifero il Cellini Bianco. Prodotto dalla tedesca Planta (acquisita poi dalla MC Baren) si dichiara miscela originale italiana e chissà può anche essere vero (se il blender quel giorno era ubriaco. La Planta è una ditta che ha in produzione un ottimo orientale/kentuky : Akropolis questo per rivalutare il nome della ditta.

I tabacchi di base sarebbero buoni, ma è l’aromatizzazione che fa crollare il tutto è come un deodorante per ambienti all'arancia artificiale in cui sono capitati dentro dei tabacchi. Aperta la busta si è assaliti dagli odori di arancia e fi fiori (non meglio definibili. Se carichi una pipa ricorda che poi o la pulisci, disinfetti o la butti. Il fumo è irritante alla gola. Credo che i fumatori di super aromatici possono anche apprezzarlo. Purtroppo è per molti uno dei primi tabacchi La lingua diviene subito salmastra e dolente. Si salva solo l’aroma ambientale, conme se si fosse fumata una svapo aromatizzata.

Vorrei trovare qualcosa di positivo da scrivere, e c’è il prezzo non troppo alto, per cui la perdita di questi Euro diventa marginale.

Normalmente sono un amico dichiarato di tutti i tipi di tabacchi, dalle miscele naturali anche apprezzando alcune miscele aromatizzate; qui non riesco a trovare il suo lato positivo.

Chiudo dicendo che è il peggior tabacco che abbia mai avuto il dispiacere di fumare. Il sapore e l'odore mi hanno fatto star male. Qualcosa che non ho mai provato prima o dopo.

Voto: “Non pervenuto”.

This was like an artificial orange airfreshener mixed with a good quality of tobacco. It tasted like heavy aromatic e.cigaretes or something like that. It makes me cough and irritating my throat. I dont know this must be for super aromatic type of smokers... But not my cup of tea thats for sure...

I am not able to smoke strong flavored tobacco: here, the aromatizants are overhelming and too sweet. However, if you like these kinds of tobacco, try it.

This is *THE* worst tobacco i ever had the pleasure to smoke. The taste and smell of it positivly made me sick. Something i never ever experienced before or after. It was unbearably to me and i had to emergency-empty my pipe. After that i couldnt smoke the pipe (or even smell it) untill i gave her a salt alc. treatment.

I would like to find something positive to write as well but frankly the only thing that comes to mind is that the tobacco wasnt too expensive and the loss of tossing it out marginal.

The smoke was very thick, both in volume and in aroma. It stuck to my clothes and hair and i had to take a shower afterwards to prevent myself from throwing up. Yes, to me it was *that* bad.

Overall it is a typical Planta blend, with probably even good quality tobacco in it. Which you wont be able to tell since its utterly overwhelmed by the heavily chemical aromatisation. And while i am an expressed friend of all types of tobaccos, from natural blends over heavy english types to strongly aromatised blends, this one here was that bad to me that i registered here just to badmouth it.

Having said that, *if* you still want to give it a try then at the very least have a sniff into the pouch first and see for yourself what you think of it.

UPDATE NOV15 2007 i did finish the pouch. People around me liked or tolerated the smell - at least while it was still fresh. But I totally disliked the smoke - it almost sickened me - particularly towards the second half of the bowl.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

INITIAL OCT31 2007 As I mentioned in my notes for Cellini Forte, this reminds me of some variety of Captain Black - just with somewhat coarser cut.

I do not like it and I have actually let it aside for about 4 months now (next to one Captain Black Gold which is standing there for the last 10 months). Well, guess what, they are both still quite humid...

I will try to finish the pouch. If anything changes in my estimate, I will just update...

BTW, the FORTE version is quite decent.

Typical candied garbage ala Europe. Italians should stick to pipe making, opera and pasta and stay out of tobacco blending altogether. European tobaccos of late have been getting from worse to horrid, and this is no exception. This reminds me very much of the WO Larsen 80, which is another hot shag of sweetened cigarette tobacco with anisette extracts and hot air. Don't waste your time.

Zero of five stars
