Tastes of chocolate and dark fruit and a subtle smokiness undertone. Well done

Complex blend, perique and the fermented dark fired take the lead but all the tobaccos make themselves known and mesh well together. Bold, rich, lots of flavor a little spicy with notes of bbq and chocolate, very good stuff bet it will age nicely. 5 STARS 🔥

When I add 18-20% perique by volume, this blend becomes so much better. On its own it's pretty good already, but add in a fat pinch of long cut perique if you want a 5-star sleeper blend. There's already some perique in it, but not nearly enough. Add more and it unlocks the full potential of this gorgeous stuff....Read More

Tried to enjoy this in honor of the anniversary, but it wasn't the experience I had hoped for. This is a toned-down version of C&D Dreams of Kadath plus a bit of piney sawdust. Reminds me of following a garbage truck down the street. Not for me.
Special tobacco for a special pipe

My special someone gifted me with one of Savinelli's 145th Anniversary Punto Oro pipes and included a tin of this "matching" tobacco.
The aroma from the tin bespeaks an aromatic. Hastening to smokingpipes.com I was amazed to find this is a VaPer with Italian Burley. Not a casing mentioned anywhere.
The tobacco, while fragrant with raisin, plum, chocolate and earth in the tin, On the tongue and in the nostrils the fire-cured Italian Burley makes its statement, then the Perique wafts in. There is then the Virginia providing the delicious finish. Frankly, I've not been much of a VaPer smoker (Lat forward English); THIS blend has changed my mind.
Since I'm using this tobacco only in the 145th Sav Punto Oro pipe, I have laid in a good supply. Just not quite sure what to do when it runs out......Read More

This is amazing- aroma and flavor are sweet and crisp with citrus, vanilla, and figs. Delicious and easy smoking with some nice transitions from floral to spicy to bold and creamy

Smells and tastes like a moldy fruitcake. You know, the one your mom found in the pantry years later. I don't like this at all. Not one thing about it. Not the worst I've smoked, but I don't want more.

I don’t smoke many blends from Savinelli, but, if every one of their blends were as good as this one I would smoke a lot more. The tin note is pure perfection. I cannot even describe what I smelled when I first popped that seal. If you have not experienced it, you just won’t understand it. You couldn’t even conceptualize it. Burley, Virginia, brandy, cocoa, hay, Mana, Soma, Ambrosia… And what’s great is that it actually tastes like what it smells like. This is simply one of the best things I’ve ever had in my pipe....Read More

Excellent blend. Was expecting somewhat of an aro by the tin note but great natural flavors emerged when smoked. Nutty, fruity with a dark roasted coffee like finish. Really great stuff.
