Savinelli Armonia
(1.62)
Savinelli's Armonia combines choice Virginias, golden Orientals, and Kentucky leaf with a subtle topping of natural citrus fruit — cut into a mix of ribbon and broken flake for an enjoyable smoke.
Notes: Apparently, the toppings of this blend have recently changed.
From the Kohlhase & Kopp website: A mixture of medium strength with a large black cavendish content, rounded off with equal parts of nutty burleys and roasted Kentucky. A good amount of rum and the best chocolate flavor are the icing on the cake that makes this mixture so unique.

Beat me with a stick, but I have to say I like Armonia.
It does have issues, it is a bit too moist, and it will burn a bit hot if you let it, but in a large bowled pipe, it can be an extremely satisfying smoke.
The fruitiness gives way to a carmelized glazed pear taste through the bowl.
It isn't for the weak of heart, it isn't very forgiving!

Buy this tin next to others that discontinued in the store. Bad mistake. When opening the can, there was a strange aroma between vinegar and citrus, nothing pleasant. It was not moist, it burned well, it bit very little, on the tongue and at the end it warmed up and left a damp rest in the bottom of the bowl. The flavor of the tobacco at first was anodyne, indefinite, a pastiche of flavors. But the added chemical flavors were immediately manifested, horribly, almost disgusting. In the end I also have an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth, which is slow to disappear. As was my mistake, I smoke it all as penance, arghh, I do not want to remember. IMHO I do not recommend it.

This is a blunt blend with nothing attractive or at least interesting for me... IMHO. The potential is enormous but somehow they fail to achieve that potential. Very sorry for that waste of time.

Blatantly evil. If Hell came in a tobacco pouch, this would be the stuff. Avoid this at all costs.

I smoked this tobacco in the last Italian holiday.
Smell after opening the pouch 50g: After opening the pouch, one rises to meet a pretty intense aroma of sweet spices, which are intrusive but not unpleasant. In the background, something smells of tobacco for chocolate and orange.
Consistency of tobacco: The tobacco picture is quite dark and therefore presents itself in the ribbon cut (shredded fine cut). The mix itself is butter soft and fluffy. The filling of the pipe preparing, no problems, but it should not prefer to stuff firmly.
Smoke properties: When the gang Glutkissen is once set in, the smoldering tobacco down calmly and evenly. The quality of the tobacco is classified at the top. There remain no residue. But beginners and hastily smokers, I would not recommend this tobacco because it attract most attention and quiet, sipping needed almost. Caution that smokes Savinelli Armonia is very hot quickly. When I recommend a pipe with an average fill volume.
Taste: After the smell test, I would have expected a decent highly aromatic, but is definitely not the Sun The Savinelli Armonia tastes very mild and without question belongs in the category of light tobaccos. It tastes somewhat like chocolate, butter and a hint of orange and amarettini (amaretto cookies). The note comes naturally Virginia, very weak in the form of sweet hay or straw to light. The tobacco keeps its flavor to about half of the filling. What can you say that tobacco is very velvety, what you feel in the mouth and clear on the tongue. Kentucky and the Oriental one does not notice at all. This tobacco will be smoked with a filter. Without this filter is tobacco a disaster, because the condensate residue is real bad.
Conclusion: An interesting tobacco, which is definitely more like it for the morning hours and by the aroma of the Christmas season especially good job. Personally, he's too mild and therefore will not get into my bar tobacco feeder. If you have tried once but because he is not really bad.

I think the tin description is pretty accurate on this one. It's not great, but it could be a mild, unobtrusive all day smoke for many. Not exciting, but I can't say anything bad about it.

I've only tried this tobacco in the sample packs provided by Savinelli, and have smoked several bowls of it. Both in pipes by Savinelli. Armonia is a blend of Virginia, Oriental, burley, and Kentucky tobaccos, topped with what Savinelli calls "natural" fruit flavors. I'll take their word on "natural," but only because I have to.
Both of my samples of this tobacco were dry. The pouches gave off a nice, sweet aroma, which was quite attractive. As a dry tobacco, Armonia loaded easily into my pipes. Lighting was pretty easy, as well. But as dry as it was, I was amazed by the amount of moisture that condensed in the pipes as I smoked.
The taste of Armonia is, unfortunately, not there. The pouch aroma gave me thoughts of a nice, easy aromatic. However, the flavor all goes up in smoke, leaving nothing but warm, thick air to come through the pipe. My tongue longed for flavor, but got none.
I think Savinelli should keep their focus on pipes. Then they should let someone else sell tobacco.

Natural aromatic with full and woody taste, fails to give all the dark chocolate bouquet that is present in its scent, opening the pouch. Honest and well done tobacco, gives pleasant, but average smokes without emotions for complexity or quality.

I received a free sample of this blend from Savinelli and was, to say the least, disappointed. I am sure that there are those pipe smokers out there who really enjoy this blend; I personally would rather be condemned to smoking nothing other than Erinmore Flake for the rest of my life than to ever have to even look at this tobacco. The corncob in which I tried Armonia was apparently ruined. Numerous bowls of one of my regular blends has done nothing to attenuate the residual effect of the Armonia.
