Planta Pergamon
(1.90)
This is printed on the tin, in German Language (translated to English): Pipe tobacco which the gods love. This tobacco, a composition from the classic tobacco cultivable areas of the ancient world, spoils the palate of the pipe smoker on the most exquisite one. Noblest Virginia degrees, with hand-graded Oriental tobacco and twice fermented black cavendish, rounded with Greek wine and precious Middle Eastern spices. The result is this mild, tasteful mixture.

Bought this one according to advice in a nice metal 100 gr tin.Smells nice when opened but not too strong as aromatics.Couse of package looks like a flake at first (pressed) d,d have no problem filling the pipe also burnsd very well not too fast or slow ,also easy to have a steady smoke 8especially for novice) ,one thing very good about this tobacco that I did never had a tounge bite after 4 tins.Leaves a light grey small sand look like trash at the end. About taste nothing very special but you feel tobacco taste for sure to the end of bowl the taste somewhat turns to a bit sea salt taste (at least I feel like that) not disturbing but a bit strange. Nice middle day smoke stuff for me with good nicotine satisfaction.

Now presenting, at long last, the butt-end of the tobaccos I purchased in Europe in late 2013 (the others being, in order, Saint Bruno, Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal, Condor Green, Amsterdamer and now the blend apparently made at the request of the Gods). Pray, continue.
Pergamon is yet another one of those many somewhat perplexing European aromatic blends that seem to be bursting from the shelves of every tobacco shop on the continent. They're everywhere you go. This blend is difficult to describe in regards to taste—spicy is one word that comes immediately to mind. Not spicy in a perique sort of way, but in a spice kind of way. But, which spice? Perhaps some clove, or maybe cinnamon. There was a slight whiff of wine, but Greek wine? Who knows.
This stuff really burned hot and fast, a bowl lasted less than twenty minutes (I used a trusty Kaywoodie with a mid-sized bowl). The tobacco was on the verge of nipping me towards the end, and thankfully, the experience ended before any damage was done.
Pergamon is not the worst tobacco I've experienced thus far, and, quite frankly, a person could do worse, a lot worse, but I'll leave the rest of this blend to feed my garden—the garden where I'm growing a golden apple to appease the Gods who I'm sure will look down on me for giving such a sad, sad review.
Happy piping!

This is a nice aromatic tobacco altough nothing special. Maybe the experience of some pipesmokers that this tobacco has a salty taste is like people tasting cilantro and coriander. Some like it and some dislike it because to them it tastes like soap. Anyway i didn't taste any salt.
