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.

You will hardly notice the sugary black cavendish as there’s little tobacco taste in this blend, The mildly sweet bilberry topping has a little richness, and it’s the reason to buy this product. The taste level is a step closer to medium than it is to mild. The nic-hit is fairly mild. Won’t bite or get harsh, but needs to be sipped a mite to avoid a little tongue warmth. Burns clean and kind of cool at a reasonable pace with a very consistent flavor from start to finish. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires slightly more than an average number of relights. Has a short lived, pleasant after taste, and is an all day smoke.

This is a good tobacco to scratch that aromatic itch I get every now and again. I don't favor aromatics, but like to keep a couple of the better one's around in a decent quantity to have a nice flavorful bowl every now and again.
I agree that there's not a lot of tobacco flavor here. It's mostly a roasted berry sweet flavor, and a lot of it. It tastes like a blueberry muffin with all blueberry. I like the black cavendish rough cut. It burned well for me, not any tongue bite. It's a little damp, but it almost seems like they really went heavy with the flavoring and that's it.
This lands as one strong aromatic and is unique in that it is a natural great tasting blueberry. If you'd like to smoke a blueberry muffin every now and again, this is your man.

Hey, this is pretty good, and that is coming from a guy who doesn't normally like Aromatics. Bilberry ??? scent like a Christmas tree, people love it. Not real bity , needs a little drying and slow sip this or it will turn bitter, but otherwise sweet. If you're an Aero smoker or if you just want something that is nice for public smoking , you can't find a better choice.

Once you open the box you can observe its color: a dark brown to black color. It is roughly chopped and quite moist. So it requires the necessary drying. Its aroma is really peculiar. It really reminds you of opening a box of mature olives. When you start smoking it you do not feel this strange smell but you get a nice scent of prunes, caramel, chocolate and a fruity flavor in general. It is the best anniversary tobacco of Planta. I did not notice any warming of the bowl.

Along with Planta's Vanilla Flake this is one of the best aromatics on the market. Dense flower aromas unfold along the definite presence of the tangy and citric tobacco taste . Burns to white ash and leaves a pleasant room scent. no significant tongue-bite.
too bad the company decided to make the 2009 version into a copy of Orthodox church incense..

If you love fruity tobacco, then this is for you. Very dark leaf cavendish with a heavy topping of blueberry. I personally think that the blueberry taste great, but then again it is not something I could smoke all day. Only on occasion will I be enjoying this, but when I do it is a wonderful, lite and fruity blend. It packs well, smokes clean, does not bite (it didnt for me anyway), and leaves a pleasant blueberry aroma around you.
