Bentley La Dolce Vita/The Planters Sweet

It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It's quiet and it's time for a relaxing smoke. This is the perfect time to try the Planters Sweet. I am primarily a non-aromatics smoker but do occasionally smoke an aromatic. This tobacco is by far the most pungent of the aromatics that I smoke As the name implies, this is a sweet and citrusy fine ribbon cut tobacco best suited for the Frank method of packing. I am a slow smoker so this heavily topped tobacco suits me just fine. If you are a robust smoker this could bite you. I enjoyed this tobacco with a cup of sweet tea. This is not an everyday smoke however, in my rotation, it is a twice a month indulgence. If you are of the opinion that room note is best judged by the non-smoker this tobacco rates the highest. As with most aromatics, the flavor is most intense when you first light. Heavy citrus, a delightful sweetness and a smooth taste is what to expect. Mid bowl softens the sweetness but the citrus remains in the background until the end. The tobacco burns to a fine ash and I had no relights. Nor was there any residual soup in the bottom of the bowl. This tobacco is not for everybody, however it will remain an occasional treat for this smoker. It is one of only two aromatics that I smoke.
