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.

This is a well stored tobacco,in a beautiful blue printed can, well enveloped internally in a golden metallized pouch.
In Brazil, this is the most well known between the Planta (Deustschland) blends.
I noted the Virginiaa and the richness of the Orientals, bu I not note easily the Black Cavendish.
Because it is cased with Wine (noted both in the tobacco and in the smoke), it rassembles other tobacco from Planta: Cellini Forte, but Cellini Forte is better.
In fact, some other Planta blends are better: Exotic, Majestic Sans-Souci, Cellini Classico etc...
Good for me, but it burns so hot and fast and it have too Nicotine for an aromatic.

A very nice aromatic with almost no tongue bite and good burning qualities. The wine flavoring is strong, but it still ocasionally let Virginias shine thru. Not so for Orientals, lost behind the other leaves and the casing.
If you like Cellini Forte, this is similar without the tongue bite. Not of my liking, but still recommended for its quality.

Like it or not Pergamon is sometething unique! Only needs one match to ignite and burns cool and even right to the end when it turns to fine white grey ash. The first few puffs are exactly what i expected, a typical sweet and artificial taste like so many aromatics out there. A taste of marzipan and chocolate maybe? After half of the bowl the orientals kick in and then it´s getteing weird! Burning spices come to my mind like oregano or marjoram. Not bad but also very uncommon and something one must like! On the other hand the room note seems to be very pleasant as lots of bystanders noticed. Also ther´s no tongue bite whatsover... Surely not the everyday smoke but one should give it a try as it is something really different.
