Savinelli - English Mixture.
The aroma coming from the blend is a fairly full one. The mix is very robust and chunky, appearing to be a fair selection of the different types of tobacco. I cant complain about it being too damp or too dry, it is great in that area.
This one is really easy to get lit, only taking a couple of light touches with the flame, then it burns consistently. To be fair, with the flavour the Latakia remains quite delicate, not at all unnoticeable, just not like the Lat-Bomb I expected! The Latakia level, as delicate as it may be, actually works well as rather than hogging the playing field it actually allows the Burley and Virginia to have their say, in perfect harmony with one and other. If you (like me) are a Latakia Lover if you retro-hale the smoke the Latakia is somewhat increased! Nicotine level now, a very pleasant amount, neither loads nor too faint. The room-note is a good one as it is not too full so is not that off-putting for any of the "Anti Pipe" brigade! I think that this would make an excellent all day smoke, not too strong or too false, in fact a very steady smoke!
Four stars.

On opening my tin I was met with a strong waft of Latakia and the tobacco was just right to load straight into my pipe with no need for further drying. The subtle notes of Burley and Virginia compliment the Lat in what is a very sophisticated cool and flavourful smoke. No tongue bite whatsoever and the Lat was present throughout the bowl. I found the nic hit to be stronger than other reviews have suggested and overall I would highly recommend this tobacco to anyone wanting a subtle English blend for an all day smoke .

This is an excellent tobacco, mild and pleasurable from the start to finishing the bowl. Wonderful taste on the tongue and palate without any tongue or lip bite.
The only downside is when opening the tin to the smell of old train sleepers. But hey ho once the pipe is alight the tobacco burns beautifully from the start to the finish.
This is a must for all serious pipe smokers.

A great smoke! A mild oaty taste with a nice sweet tone. Burns really well and tastes great right down to the last puff! I will never smoke another aromatic after trying this. Top marks from me!

Despite the touch of Burley, this is an outstanding classic English mixture which burns evenly from top to bottom of the bowl delivering the spice and smokiness you would expect in an English blend with no added flavors.
Among English mixtures, SavinellÃ's is on the sweet, velvety and slightly mild side of the spectrum. A must try.

I purchased this English blend from Cigar Emporium in Walnut Creek; I was looking for Davidoff English Mixture. This was what he had in stock at the time so I decided to give it a try; I wasn't disappointed.
This in my opinion is a very mild to medium English blend. The tin aroma is very close to that of Mac Baren Mature Virginia but has a strong smokey note from the Latakia. I have only smoked it twice, but that's more than enough for me to know that this is a very nice, medium strength English; it packs well, lights well, stays lit and will not bite!
I noticed that this blend will smoke wet when rushed but will not bite. It has a sweet, creamy note close to that of a smooth single malt scotch, I believe it's from the Virginia and Burley in the mix. The Latakia, I believe is what keeps the Virginias in check so you don't get that all too familiar snapping Virginia attitude. It smokes very cool and my pipe NEVER got hot; to me...that's a plus!
This blend WILL be very bland and boring if you are looking for something. If you take it for what it is you will very pleased. I highly recommend this blend to beginning as well as seasoned smokers. It is a very smooth relaxing smoke.

Unlike other Savinelli tobacco, this blend is great! Well-balanced ratio of Latakia, Virginia and a small amount of burley. Burns evenly, has a light sweet note, probably of Burley and Virginia. Room note is tolerable, excellent for full-time tobacco smoking.
