Brebbia Sinfonia (Mixture No. 23)
(2.27)
Sun cured Virginia leaves are blended with different cuts of mild black cavendish. This blend is enriched with a natural sweetness of yellow plum and the gentle fragrance of oranges. A very refined taste.

Brebbia - Sinfonia
Fish flake cut. Not sticky or goopy, something the German & Danish tobaccomeisters usually do right on aros. The room note isn't offensive but isn't as excellent as the tin note would have you to believe. There does not strike me as being much "mid" to the flavor, ie some chocolate nutty lows, bright, brassy highs and not much between. Sort of a different bird.  Yellow plum and orange eh? Not sure I would've guessed plum per se, but okay. Not sure I would've said orange either (it doesn't taste like one to me) but there's definitely a citrus essence. It's an interesting combination of flavors. More a "change of pace" blend but a good one imo. Only occasional hints of tobacco taste. No bite even if pushed. A shade more nicotine than aros typically have.Â
I could swear this used to be called "#30". Gone also is the etch style tin art of the 19th century fellow smoking the pipe, replaced with something far more bland and vacuous. So it goes.

Hmm, the familiar European aromatic base scent / flavor, this time accompanied by , perhaps even actually overtaken by a bright plum & orange, with possibly an occasional taste of peach. Flavoring is tasty and well done but not overpowering. I like the rough cut style cut of the tobacco. It can burn a little warm but has not bitten me so far. I'm not going to give Sinfonia a full 4 stars because I feel that it's a tad overpriced, but it is definitely one of the best European aromatics I've smoked. I can even imagine people who aren't really aro fans enjoying an occasional bowl of this. 3½ stars.
