Savinelli Doblone d'Oro
(3.61)
The choicest Virginias, burleys and dark fired Kenyan leaf are enhanced with an impeccable addition of spicy perique, then aged to perfection before being spun into enticingly beautiful, zesty coins. A delightfully vivacious and flavorful smoke.

This stuff has been jarred for six months, and it exudes a Burley bouquet upon opening. The crinkled, curly cut coin is a newly bedraggled arrangement for me – disheveled and different – but not altogether disagreeable. Had this for breakfast with a strong cup of coffee – a good morning wake-up blend, perfectly suited for this cold and rainy weather: bold Burely/Kenthucky giving a smoky, nutty flavor, tinged with tangy Virginia and Perique fig notes. Wonderful stuff – 4-stars.

This blend is better than Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls by a mile, as it adds a bit more perique and the tobaccos have a bit more age and complexity.
The perique comes forward, but not too much so that it becomes the star. It leaves room for the Virginias, burleys, and dark-fired Kenyans to make their presence known. Different leaves hit the taste buds throughout the bowl, but the perique holds the blend together with that zesty embrace in every puff.
4/4 A wonderful complex coin that is perfect for an afternoon smoke to take a break from everything.

Love this blend. Hits the mark from many angles. The burleys provide a bass note that is lacking in most VaPers. Bready sweetness that is a combination of the virginias and dark fired. Light spiciness dancing in the background. Ready right out of the tin with no drying time. If I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for, this is a go-to. An absolute pleasure to smoke.

Tin dated January 2033. This is a delicious, easily 4 star VaPer but … it’s more of a VaPerKy. In my view way more tasty than, say, Orlik Golden Sliced, or any version of Three Nuns. Closer to Royal Twist Deluxe but less potent. Stronger than Windjammer. But then some comparisons are unfair because this is not a classic VaPer with the very present addition of the dark fired Kentucky.
The Virginia is in the background. The Kentucky is a strong player and dances with the Perique. Frankly this combination makes the blend a step ahead of the standard VaPer.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Escudo and am especially fond of Haddo’s Delight. There are also excellent ESF blends like Connemara and Fairbourne.
Yummy. Chewy. Strong but not in your face. Thoughtful. A sweetness but not the cloying kind you’d get from an Aro.
4 out of 4 stars.

What I actually got was a broken MAC BAREN: DARK TWIST, which is easier to load and doesn't require more lighting in the middle if you take care of it.
Except for the first few sips of light, I detect a trace of Perique, which is barely there through to the end, and the nicotine meets my needs.
I love the BBQ flavor of Dark Fired Kentucky, and Mac Baren Dark Twist is my recipe, so it's nice to meet a deductible version of it coming up!
