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.

I usually don't rate very high the aromatized tobaccos but this one is pretty good. Very good basics, italian virginia from Tuscany and Umbria, and a smooth black cavendish, and I suspect some kentucky mild (instead of burley indicated in the description above), because is also the most common type of tobacco plant produced in Italy. The aromatic essences are maybe too much strong for someone but I think that the basics aren't overhelmed. There's orange for sure and something like rhum or liqueur: the ensemble remembers me those hot alcoholic beverages like "punch" or something, so I consider this tobacco a winter time choice. Maybe 3 stars are a little too much, but why not? I think this can be a right aromatized choice for a beginner.
Type: Artificial aromatic full in taste, but mild in streght ; Contents: Virginia from Tuscany and Umbria, black cavendish (maybe Kentucky mild) ; Flavoring: Orange (& liqueur, something that remeber rhum) ; Cut: Loose / wild / coarse cut ; Humidity: Medium and persistent, tends to conserve the right level of humidity till the end of the pouch ; Lighting: Very easy and pretty fast burning, results in a "not tedious" smoking ; Pipe recommended: Really fine with all types.

After 5 years of pipe smoking I finally started to enjoy aromatics. 😂
This Cellini is a good mellow and sweet choice when you want to take a break from strong Latakia or Kentucky blends.
More than orange or floral flavour I detected more like a whiskey mixed with cream flavour. It is mild, sweet and tasty.

I baught a pouch of this in Padova as I was unable to find any of my regular smoke (Sunday's Fantasy) and it was reccomended by the Tobacconist.
I loved the pouch-note. Rich orange and chocolate the nearest thing to a jaffa cake as I have smelt in a long time. The cut was rough and large. I thaught I had found the perfect substitute for Radfords, and it was cheaper too!
However,It did not smoke as well as it should and I was a little dissapointed. It filled well, and lit well, and smoked fairly cool. The rich tastes promised by the pouch-note were there, but very light, I would have expected more from the amount of casing. The light orange faided by mid bowl the chocolate notes lingered but very faint. The tobacco taste left was pleasing enough but nothing special.
The room note was very nice with lots of orange and light cream, its a shame it was not more present in the taste.
overall a fair to good light aromatic tobacco which is good value for money.

My first tobacco, I got a pack of this when I started, but now I bought another one to be able to taste it properly. So I have two perspective I'd like to tell. When I started, I felt rather intensive taste of orange and something groundy-nutty (the burley, now I know). It was a perfect start. Rarely bit, burned to ash finely. As of now, I still feel the taste, but I can not be so positive. It's taste of orange is rather bland and needs fantasy to feel rather then taste. The burley absolutely dominates the blend, which would make it a nice burley blend, if not the tiny bit of virginia making it "false". Aside from these, a nice, all day blend, goes well with coffee on a cloudy day or at night with some bourbon, but it has a darker atmosphere that feels bad if smoked in sunshine. Room note smells wonderful, can even help it's questionable taste.

He comprado este tabaco en Forli (Italia) donde vivo actualmente. Su precio de 8 euros es barato para el precio medio en el paÃs. Es aromático, siempre a Vainilla. Lo hace suave y convencional. Estupendo para uso diario, aunque no es excepcional. No es ácido, como le pasa a Kent y otras marcas. Repetiré.

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.

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

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.
