Planta Sans Souci/Sans Souci Majestic Mixture
(2.55)
Epitome of a fine, exclusive mixture. The noble aroma exudes elegance and finesse. Comprised of bright high quality Virginia tobaccos of light strength, refined with ripe, dark black cavendish. Captivates by its gentle mildness, with tender fruity flavour.
Notes: When sold in the bulk form, the name is only Sans Souci, but in the red pouch bears the label "Sans Souci Majestic Mixture".

Planta - Sans Souci/Sans Souci Majestic Mixture.
I fancied something different this morning so opened this. To me, the name Sans Souci has no implications with anything, and as my search on google only came back with 'French for carefree' I was no clearer! But, on I went.
The description says Ribbon but it's actually a mixture containing a fair few big pieces. This was supplied in bulk from Smokingpipes.com so the moisture of a tin or pouch is a moot point, to me. This, however, arrived a little dry. The mix smells fruity and aromatic.
The apricots, caramel, and sweet/sugar amalgamate to form a flavour reminiscent of apricot conserve, and this leads in the smoke. There's only a touch of alcohol and I get no coffee whatsoever; coffee, as per current description. The tobaccos give prominently a VaBur flavour, sweetened with black Cavendish. I get a spot of bite from it and it burns too warm.
Nicotine: just above medium. Room-note: nice.
Not my idea of a good aromatic. Two stars:
Somewhat recommended.

This blend comes in a fancy tin...not my cup o´tea...but who cares anyway. The tobacco is easy to smoke, has a nice roomnote and just tastes mild and sweet. There is not much to say about it anymore. Not bad but nothing special either...a little more full bodied than other cheap aros...that´s it. Recomended for everyday smoke if you like sweet and descreet mixtures.

This is the third of Dan Tobacco`s aromatics I was gifted. I have reviewed Blue Note and Da Vinci already. There is a family resemblance between the three. Just as Mac Baren has a signature honey on toast note, Dan Tobacco has a signature berry, sweet-and-sour note.This note is at its strongest in Majestic Mixture. You either like it or not.
What saves all three aromatics is the quality of the virginia in them. The virginias never give up, and there is always a passable level of nicotine. The tobaccos are dry in the packing and burn well. As a precautionary measure I smoked them all in cobs, and cobs are forgiving. I would not buy any of these blends on my own, but if given them, would probably not recycle them either.

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.

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.

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.
