Planta Cellini Forte
(2.23)
Full flavored aromatic strength in taste- yet mellow and soft as velvet in smoke and on the tongue. Refined with the berrylike barolo wine from Italy.
Notes: A former PLANTA brand made in Denmark by Mac Baren Tobacco Company.
Original Italian Formula.

Very intense alcoholic scent upon opening the pouch; supposedly scented with Barolo wine, indiscernible. The aromatic smell is carried and perceptible both in taste and room note. Cheap and widely available.

This is strongly flavoured with wine. So strong, that it's not a real pleasant smoke. Beware for tonguebite also. Still, this is a very interesting T. for it's taste. Mix this half and half with a neutral and mellow VA , then add a sniff (a very small amount, like a little knifepoint) Clovepowder. Adding too much Clove will ruin the mix. Smoke this only having a glas of red wine. Recommended.

I bought two pouches of Cellini. One strong and one mild. The strong (FORTE, in black pouch) was extremely dry. I did like the overall experience however.
To be honest, I did dislike the first bowl. But from the rest of them I am quite satisfied.
The secons (a mild version, white pouch) was sticky wet. It reminded me of some Captain Black variety with just coarser cut. I totaly disliked the expeerience of this.
So, all said, I recommend the strong variant (FORTE) but not the other one.
