Brebbia Sinfonia (Mixture No. 23)

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.

I picked up a tin of this tobacco because of the name...I am a musician, and was intrigued. My standard, daily smoke is the Frog Morton line, rotating through all four and then I buy a little something new to try. Since I first tried it, I have been smoking this tobacco regularly for about a year. Not daily, but once or twice a week. It is such a wonderful change of pace for me.
Opening the tin for the first time I found the smell wonderful, and have enjoyed the experience with each new tin! I wanted to put my nose close and just breath it in! However, this worried me because a great smell and great taste do not always walk hand in hand.
When I drew air through the pipe before lighting the taste was pleasant and I was not disappointed by the first draw after lighting. The flavoring is medium on this tobacco and, to my shock, a citrus flavor that was good all the way down to the end of the bowl, and on this tobacco it was all the way down! It burned so well that I was shocked, because it had felt moist in the tin.
My wife is a rare gift, she actually enjoys the smell of Latakia blends so she is not a harsh critic of Room Note. Well, she will sometimes ask me to smoke this blend so she can enjoy its aroma. I have never smoked this tobacco that people in the room did not note its pleasing smell.
I have found that this smokes particularly well in a Meerschaum and I have a large Calabash Gourd set aside just for this tobacco.

I see that not many people have reviewed this one, but on a whim, and as a recomendation from my tobaccanist I picked up a tin of this. He had about 4 or 5 different types of Brebbia in tins and said that out of all of them, he preferred this. So I added it to my purchase (which included dark twist by Mac Baren and Celtic Talisman). I knew what to expect from the Dark Twist, being somewhat of a VA lover. Opened the Celtic Talisman and was not overly impressed with the tin aroma or the smoke....maybe it needs time to dry a bit. But, I opened this tin of Brebbia Sinfonia and wow! The aroma was simply amazing! As has been said so many times about so many other tobaks....I wanted to take a pinch and eat it. Whats more, is on the char light it even tasted great. The room aroma is one of the best from any tobak I've ever had in my pipe and the flavor, to me is similar to the tin aroma. It's very tasty. Not alot of Nic here if that's what your after, but it does the job for me. It burns down completely to a fine pepper ash. Leave little to no dottle whatsoever in my pipe and once the pipe cools down and I take a sniff at the empty bowl, well, let's just say I've never had a pipe that smelled this good. It's not overly complex, but it's tasty to me, smells great, and does not bite. As far as this pipester is concerned, what more could I ask for? I love this stuff. So far, my favorite aromatic.
