An extremely smooth creamy smoke!!! An excellent blend of high quality tobacco’s. You will appreciate this blend much more if it’s aged for a year or you air dry a bowl full for roughly an hour before packing your pipe.....eliminates tongue bite and ... Read More

Current Favorite Blend

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
This is what a tobacco blend should be. Every component is present in proper proportion and in perfect harmony. Silky, creamy and smooth. I can smell the citrus and wildflower infusion on my clothes after the fact. There are not a lot of reviews out ... Read More
there on this one, but with a single exception, all are 4/4 or 5/5 star reviews, and rightly so. Read Less
Not that Great

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
I read the rave reviews and ordered it. I was not impressed. It has no Virginia sweetness and really no redeeming tastes other than the fact that it is not extremely harsh. I did notice the cigar leaf, which I am not looking for in a pipe tobacco.... Read More
I have managed to use up 3/4 of the tin over several months by sneaking it into my blends. Will not order again. Read Less

Tongue bite

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
Love the flavor, wish I could smoke it. Bought 12 tins from last years run. the worst tongue bite ever.. Hoping it will settle itself down in a few years. Sansepolcro much better
It's a keeper

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
This is one of the very few blends of aromatics that I still keep in rotation. It is smooth and creamy and has a great room note to boot. The flavoring isn't so strong as to kill the overall enjoyment. While one can experience a bit of bite it you sm... Read More
oke to quickly, but if you take your time you have very little bite at all and a very pleasant smoke. Read Less
Terrible Tobacco

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
That tang some people are referring to is tongue Bite.This Tobacco has no taste whatsoever. I have been smoking piper for quit awhile now,and if you gave a bowl of this to a newbie,he would have tongue Bite for a week.I have 4 Savinelli pipes. I love... Read More
them all but this stuff taste like cigar Tobacco,if I had to say it had any taste.They should stick to pipes.I gave the whole tin away,after smoking it 3 times. Not good in the AM,or Evening Will a Good Bourbon. I gave it every chance i could but I'm extremely disappointed. I think I'll stop using Smoking pipes altogether. Read Less
Rich cool and very complex

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
This is a really unique blend, silky and creamy the The VA's pop right off the bat but the Red Va makes the orientals pop to a sour sweet breadyness and a smoky and faintly floral note brings it home. This is a very good blend.

冷闻上去有轻微的甜橙和苦精的味道,微微的烟草和果丹皮的生涩果酸味。
点火。甜橙,木头,泥土。细腻顺滑,烟气饱满流动性非常好。过鼻,橙皮苦精淡胡椒,轻微刺激不留味,清口后有黑咖啡的韵味在口腔和鼻腔盘旋。
中段。淡淡的V草甜,奶油甜橙的味道并不是吃到,而是闻到的感觉。强度渐高。过鼻有点皮革。口腔清口的味道带有鲜坚果的味道。
后段烟草本源的味道明显突出,甜味变的若隐若现。
awesome!

2022 Edition dated 122922: Tin 1020 of 2800 has notes of sweet tang fruit and flowers. Tobacco is a Ribbon cut of orangish tan, reddish brown and a little dark brown. Moisture content is good, a few pipe smokers may want to dry this a bit. Burns mode... Read More
rate with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of Wildflowers and Citrus, both are noticeable in the first 1/4, then the drop to background players. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with notes of floral, lemon grass, very woody, mild cigar, spices, tart and tangy citrus, sweet fruit, savory, rich dirt, fermented sour vegetation, leathery, spicy, mild musty herbal hay, a sweet bread background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Italian Dark-Fired Cigar, Flavoring and Oriental/Turkish supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
Sweetend tobacco.

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
This is a sweet "aromatic" blend, with a finely shredded cut. I wanted to try a virginia blend with Italian cigar leaf. But this isn't it. I taste the sweet casing, which is overdone.
Good quality and preparation as always, but if I had a sample o... Read More

Being primarily a non aromatic smoker, I do like to have few aros on hand for hot weather and the holidays. This is one of my new favorites. It's a quality blend and the citrus and wildflower infusion is subtle, not overpowering. The excellent tobacc... Read More

Better with age
August 21, 2020
Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
As a gift, I was excited for this... with my new Savinelli pipe. Smoking it straight away, it was quite bitter and a little too tangy. I definitely got the wildflower essence, which isn't my favorite, and too much of the cigar leaf. I smoked probably... Read More
3 bowls before I shuffled it away for awhile, about a month in the tin. Then I put it in a jar and left it another month plus. One day I pouched a bit to take to work. I lit a bowl for the drive home and was amazed at the difference. Smoother, more balanced, less tang and bite but with more plain citrus flavor, and a still-noticeable but way better touch of that cigar leaf. Bottom line, age it awhile and let the flavors meld and mellow. (Aaaand I tried to 4 star this, but the page isn't letting me) Read Less
Bready, nutty!!

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
I have cellared this blend well over 2 years. It starts to emit smell of bakery, and mild nutty flavor. Very pleasant, fair amount of Nicotine, despite it says it contains Dark Fired Kentucky.
Not very good

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
This tobbaco was rather bitter and harsh to my palate. It was also very wet. 1/4 of the way through the bowl and my pipe was gurgling. Perhaps it needs to be aged more, taken out of the can and dried in the open air. Not very good at least for me.... Read More
I will age it as long as I can and circle back to it sometime in the distant future. Read Less

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
Wonderful tin note; high grade tobacco and flowers but subtle. Moisture level just about perfect. Lightly packed in an average size bent billiard by Luxor. Easy charring light, one tamp to settle it down, great aroma. A bit sharp but to be expected a... Read More
s it's not a month old yet. I'll let it go out and do a relight to see how it is after resting a bit as I usually like it that way. Not a robust flavor on the tongue but a wonderful aroma for the nose. Overall a light flavor with satisfactory strength. Very pleasant and well blended with nothing grabbing at you suddenly. I like it and will probably finish the generous tin quickly. Sipping or very light puffing seems the best. I'm normally a Burley fan but on occasion I find a good blend with little Burley that's enjoyable. This is one of them. Thanks Jeremy. Tin date 2/18/20. Good taste on the relight, not strong but stronger than when first lit, flavors seem to have developed during the rest. Bowl doesn't heat up. I suspect the moisture level may be higher than it seems at first touch. It'll dry in the open tin with the lid on and it'll change but from a freshly opened tin it's wonderful. Read Less
A wonderful discovery

Product: Savinelli 140th Anniversary 100g
Had I not bought a new Savinelli Roma pipe, I would never had known about this blend. But Chip, from Smoking Pipes, recommended it and it came free with my purchase. What a wonderful discovery! I mainly smoke aromatics, but too moist and syrupy. I do... Read More
n't mind some latakia mixed in or orientals for a little tang. This, for me, is a nice blend with a unique flavor and aroma, and no harshness or bite. Now I might buy 100g. for my son-in-law as a Christmas gift...and some for myself. Thanks, Chip! Read Less
