Planta Sans Souci/Sans Souci Majestic Mixture

Un mélange aux saveurs de caramel et de fruits rouge/cerise - goût sucré et fruité. Il s'effondre toutefois dans le dernier tiers du bol (les saveurs partent), ce qui ne permet pas de lui donner toutes les étoiles à mon sens. Il reste toutefois un tabac savoureux, avec lequel il est possible de passer un très bon moment de dégustation (à condition de ne pas le fumer trop vite ou trop fort - morsure de langue). Ce tabac avait été utilisé pour un concours de lenteur en 2014 en France (à Saint-Claude - capitale française de la pipe). Il est dommage, voir triste, que sa production et sa commercialisation aient cessé ! Mais Butz-Choquin a signé sa fin. J'ai fait une petite réserve de quelques paquets... A son épuisement, j'en aurai un vif regret: pour vous dire combien je le recommande (si vous arrivez encore à en trouver)

This was the very first tobacco I bought when beginning pipe smoking, as recommended by the only local vendor I could find. The guy was mainly selling 9mm filter pipes, but hey, at some point you have to begin somewhere, so this was it.

Opening the pouch was a real pleasure, with those mixed aromas of dried fruits and caramel, and nice looking tobacco strands of various colors. Did not bite much, produced some smoke, was relatively forgiving to beginner's errors, and the toppings made the novice smoker happy.

Now ten years after, I'm pretty sure that this blend should appeal to aromatic fans, due to the rich fruits and caramel flavours, mild strength and good quality leaves. Could burn a little hot, but I've encountered much worse than this one.

It took me 3 or 4 other aros to try before entering the world of pure VA and english blends, and I have to admit that this one was the nicest. An overall pleasing aro.

A good Planta blend. Caramel flavours for sure. Burns steadily, delivers fresh taste and aroma. As I always smoke German style - I mean 9mm active charcoal system pipes, I never get bite or tongue burn. So, this does also not bite. Good choice of aromatic. A Higher grade for who likes this, woud be WO Larsens (Simply Unique) blend or Blend nr.50. I strongly recommend it.

That blend is like many aromatics which promise a lot when opening the pouch but fail to meet the expectations. Fruity notes for sure at the beginning of the smoke, it may bites the tongue a little later. Not on top of my list but worth a try, no disappointment. Room note: need to get approval otherwise some problems! Nice smoke in the open air!

Another good Planta blend. Caramel flavours for sure. Burns steadily, delivers fresh taste and aroma. As I always smoke German style - I mean 9mm act charcoal system pipes, I never get bite or tongue burn. So, this does also not bite. Good choice of aromatic.

This tobacco is currently produced by Planta.

It is very heavily cased (unclassifiable caramel-fruity) and leaves a sour aftertaste. It is not as mild in strength as it has been suggested by others in the sense that the casing is so powerful that it tends to bite and burn.

could possibly be mixed with an unflavored cavendish to produce a more low-key, less perky aromatic.

Apart from the several low grade given reviews, i believe this tobacco deserves a much better rating. The taste is really mild to medium which in case you were an aromatic smoker then you will really come to like it. It is very noticably fruity flavour is also present with a touch of carmel indeed to it. Just give it a few times trial with a dedicated pipe and a loose packing. recomended indeed for the aromatic smoker.

Sans Souci is NOT made by Dan Tobacco, but by another German manufacturer- Planta Tabak based in Berlin.

I asume that it is imported to the USA by CAO, which is also a Dan distributor, hence the mistake.

The tobacco has a very noticeable fruity aroma, when the pouch is opened. Very close to Blue Note! However it is very mild and when smoked, the strong aroma isn't present at all. Room note is very peasant. Reccomended!

I did get this together with some other stuff just to try it out. My first impression was: "OMG what garbage!!!"

Then, bowl after bowl, my impression improved - but not notably. Eventually, my son said that he liked the room note. This is the only reason I am giving this two stars.
