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.

I bought this while in Venice and I have to say that it is a very nice aromatic blend using an orange flavor that produces a very creamy rich orange flavored smoke that is very fragrant in room note and pleasing on the tongue. It is a great after dinner smoke, like having a brandy after a good dinner. It bought it in a roll up pack and upon opening the pack, I was presented with a rich orange aroma and a soft somewhat moist mixture of light to dark brown short ribbon cut tobacco. It claims on the package it is composed of different Virginias and Dark Cavendish tobaccos. With the orange flavoring one cannot really taste the subtle flavor of the Virginias but it does produce a cool, slow burning pleasant smoke. The room note is very fragrant and rich. It does take a few lights to get it lit, but once lit it burns down very nicely to the bottom of the bowl leaving very little dottle or moisture in the bottom of the pipe. This I find pleasing as most aromatics tend to leave a lot of moisture and dottle in the bottom, but not this one. While I could not make it an all day blend, I have really enjoyed this in the evening and night time. I find it full bodied and very rich in flavor and quite pleasing. I would highly recommend this blend for a taste of something different in the way of aromatics.

My heavens! Such drama. This is a delightful little aromatic which smells of oranges. Occasionally I think I get a whiff of chocolate but that is probably the very mild burley making itself known. It is a very sweet tobacco that I enjoy after dinner with coffee. It is also a very rich tobacco that burns very slowly but that may be due to my indolent puffing more than anything else. All in all slow burning, sweet and rich! It is a perfect summer evening smoke. My only problem with it is I have trouble acquiring it. one has not had the pleasure till smoked on a cool summer night overlooking the sea. This tobacco surpasses its purpose. 4 stars. Note under strength, flavoring. and taste a better response would be rich.

The Original recipe was from Italy, but now it is made in Germany, by Planta Tabak.
is a very good aromatic tobacco, mild, cool,not strong. Perfect for smokers that loves aromatics, and for the Pipe Smokers noobs, since it not causes Tongue Bite (as some Borkun Riff's and MacBaren's blends)
The overall quality merits 4 stars. Recommended.
Congratulations to Planta for this blend. Between the best full aromatics.
Re-Evaluation: This continue as one of my favorites. I noted in this, floral notes, together with the Orange Flavour and Taste.

This is an excellent smoke for the upcoming pipesmoker, which would like to discover the smooth site of smoking without tonguebite and still offer the variety of good aromatic. This beautiful smoke deserves its own large bowl. As soon as its lit, the taste reminds me as if I was standing in the middlte of an orange field, with nice blossoms and ripe fruits. For me the taste is more refreshing than liqoury and never overwhelming. Later on a nice choclate taste comes out always fellowed by the the nice and ripe virginia taste.
As mentioned first this is simple summer smoke, very satisfying, anytime. Exceptional price / quality.

This tobacco is a must try for aro lovers.
First wiff out of the pouch gives very sweet, orangy impression with faint vanilla aroma. The coarse cut looks beautiful with colours of bright yellow and different shades of brown and seems to me to somehow resemble the smell.
Though the tobacco taste is not exactly present in the smoke, the taste is very enjoyable. From time to time I did taste some burley coming through, a well known guest in my pipes. The overall taste of the lit bowl is very sweet and lovely at the beginning, close to some orange dessert. As the topping wears of one is left with an ever earthier and towards the bottom spicier taste. Burns well if treated well. Tends to dottle.
I would say it is a rather strongly sauced and topped tobacco. The nicotine is not the main thing to please the pipe smoker here, it's the sweet and lovely taste and smell of a good aromatic.

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.

This is one my favorite aromatics of the moment. It caries the Italian flag and an Italian name. It is supposed to contain Italian tobacco, but I can?t tell the difference between this and the best Danish cavendishes (WO Larsen). This one has orange casing, which is not bad, but it quickly fades and the smoke becomes darker, more nutty/chocolatey. Very easy to smoke without tongue bite. A nice ?no problem? blend. Mild in strength, good room note.
