Planta Anno MMVII (Black Mixture)
(2.96)
Black and mellow, aromatic and smooth, black cavendish with the aroma of thoroughly matured bilberries. Blended by hand in Germany.
Notes: Planta's Tobacco of the Year for 2007. Still available in bulk from a number of online tobacco sellers.
Some reviewers erroneously attribute the flavoring to blueberries, as bilberries both smell similar and are closely related to blueberries.

HOLY BLUEBERRY BATMAN. This is like a super aromatic. This sucker is like aromatic squared. You cant get more aromatic than this. This tobacco is blueberry flavored, and that is an understatement. The tin description says it smells like blueberries and leaves a smell of blueberries lingering in the air. Here is how my tin description of this pipe tobacco would go:
"Do you want a blueberry dropkick to the face? Do you want your house to smell like a wildfire ripped through a blueberry patch for months on end? Do you want not only your pipe, but your house and even tamper to have a ghost that not even a full seminary of priests can exorcise? Then you need to try this tobacco!"
Seriously, not only could I smell this blend through the tin and through the box it was delivered in, I could smell the UPS truck turn down the street. The entire time I smoked this stuff I expected to blow up like Veruca Salt and have oompa loompa's dancing around me. ITS JUST TOO MUCH!
First this tobacco is not just moist, it is practically floating in the tin. After two days of airing it out it was still sopping wet. Oh well, it is what it is. Load it up and fire it up. It is kinda berrylike in the pipe but it has this weird sour taste. It is one of those tastes that I cant really tell if I hate it but I sure don't like it. As you can guess this stuff doesn't burn well, and it absolutely scorches your tongue.
On a side note, as we all know burning anything produces carbon, but burning this blend produces jam! Yup you heard me. After a full bowl of this foul stuff you can scoop the heel of your pipe out and find a goo that can only be described as blueberry jam?
Seriously it is nasty. Not recommended at all.

No self respecting pipe smoker would purchase this garbage. Heavily cased and basically tongue bite in a tin. Stay away...far far away.
