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.

I approached this tin with even more trepidation than Da Vinci. The reviews for this blend gave me worry, especially the "ammonia" crack, but, I've had a lot worse tobaccos.
The tin nose wasn't too exciting, I could smell something like citrus, and something else that reminded me of a poor vintage wine. The taste was so-so, and it was next to impossible to smell the aroma as I was smoking this on a windy day. Really, this blend wasn't all that bad. Like most aro's it smoked a bit hot, especially towards the bottom. It came very wet out of the tin, so this blend is heavily cased, but, all in all, not the atrocious tobacco that many make it out to be. I'll give it a split right down the middle—2 stars.
Keep on piping!

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.

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.

The truth is that I expected more from savinelli....Not a bad all-day smoke though; packs well and burns well with a mild woody taste. However, not the greatest of tobaccos here; you get what you pay for..

I do not know if everybody refers to the same blend. For starters, my pouch has somewhat different description from the one here (the last sentence differs).
The pouch has somewhat peculiar aroma - in between citrus flowers and choclate dipped slices of orange. I do not detect this during the smoke though. To this extent I agree with the observations of one more reviewer (only!!!). Even so, I did not detect any wood-burning flavor/taste or such, as he did.
More important, where I bought it from, the salesman characterized it as "base" - i.e. essentially non-aromatic. And I wholly agree. The blend (virginia and oriental) is similar to cigarette blends.
I did not get any tongue bite, and the resulting room note did note differ much from your average cigarette room note. Also, it did not burn hot.
The next few bowlfuls was more acceptable than the first one. Overall, I do not find anything fundamnetally wrong with it. I just do not like it much.
I mixed it up (about 50-50) with Brebia #4. The results is OK - but the room note may be somewhat too heavy (heavier that the note of each blend separately).
Skandinavik Regular is similar and more affordable than this - so I do not see myself ever buying a second pouch.
