Medium strength blend of sun and fire cured bright and dark Brazilian Virginias, and also cavendish and black cavendish Tobaccos. Slightly toasted and flavoured with whisky.
This is a high quality Tobacco mixture. The best Brazilian Tobacco!
Was one of the more sold (with Alemão and Alemão Cacao) in Brazil. I dont know how Imigrantes discontinued their production since it was one of the most sold Candido Giovanella. No more exists, no more....
I checked that it was produced by Imigrantes (Candido Giovanella) (Info confirmed by Tabacaria Pean, Pean's Tobacconist, Ribeirão Preto City, SP State, Brazil)
Mixture of Brazilian Virginias, Gold, Medium and Dark, sun and fire well cured. Medium flavored with Whisky.
It burn slowly, not hot, no tongue bite, sweet (Virginia and Cavendish sweetness).
The flavour is scentered in the pouch and also in the tobacco smoke.
Mild and with low Nicotine ammount (as I enjoy)
Good flavour and taste, very pleasant room note.
Between all Brazilian Pipe Tobacco blends that I smoked, this is without doubt the best!
Comparable to the best European and American Blends, even better than most ones...
Highly recommended.
Updating the review: More i buy some of this tobacco, more I'm surprised... Is so good, is the best Brazilian Tobacco. I Identified in this Light (golden) Sun cured VIrginias, Medium and Dark Fire cured Virginias an now Cavendish and Black Cavendish tobaccos (both made from Brazilian Virginias)
The quality is equivalent to that of the European and American Blends.
Unfortunately, it is no more longer produced. It was the best between Brazilian Tobaccos.
Pipe Used: many
Age When Smoked: recently purchased
Purchased From: Tabacaria do Pedrão, Ribeirão Preto City, SP State, Brazil
