I've bought a pouch of this staff at random. Maybe even colour of pack drawn my attention. And when I opened the pouch, I've been pretty nice surprised with its aroma. I could definite it as "weird", but not bad, not bad.. Tropic fruits are certain, and touch of smoke seemed to me. Dense coarse flakes, that been hard to pack to the bowl. Lights not easy because of flakes size an density. I expected the stuff will burn stable and evenly, but I had to puff energy when approach to the end of bowl. Smoke aroma was very pleasant at first, but I've lost all my imperssions, going ahead. Anyway, fans of aromatics could be surprised with the combinations of all blend parameters. Perhaps, I'll be back to this pretty unusual staff from Planta.

Another prototypical Planta blend. Over flavoured yet nay-tasting, a very strong chemical note to it and without any tobacco. Honestly, they could just flavour old phone books and sell those instead of wasting otherwise nice tobaccos.
The tin note is extremely nice if you can handle the typical Planta aroma which, you guessed it, i cannot.
Packing and lighting are easy. The burn is even but on the wet side. Tongue bite is a real danger, although its unfair to label it a harsh blend.
The taste is only that of the flavouring with zero development over the course of a bowl. It is some undefined fruity taste, as per usual. After half the bowl the flavour gets less and less and the last quarter needs to be tossed out. There really is nothing to see here, just move along ....
Aftertaste is cigarette-ish and too long lasting for my taste. But the room note of course is very nice.
Do i recommend this blend? Nope. But also i do not advise against it. If you do like heavy aromatics and you can stand the Planta chemical thing then you might want to give it a try if there is nothing else around. In the end its just one of those novelty blends that lack the novelty and basically only live off a freaky name, nice tin, cryptic flavouring and lots and lots of advertising.

Smells good when you open the tin,and a proper level of dryness to ensure a good burning.but this is not what you get when puffing your pipe! A flat,dull and no tasting smoke is what you recieve. And the pipe gets hot as you go on,so hot that you may put it down,no matter how soft and slow you smoke. Rather a good room note, lights on easily and burns evenly,but sure this can't be my choice.
