Antique
September 20, 2020
Product: Savinelli Janus 2oz
This tobacco is really excellent and I would put money on it being phenomenal with some age. Janus is a little sweet, floral, leathery, and musty. The tobacco truly does posses a unique-antique quality. Very well balanced and flavorful.

The smell coming out of the tin is exquisite. This stuff is sublime.
A little disappointing

Product: Savinelli Janus 2oz
When I opened the tin for the first time it had a strong urea smell, but when smoked it has a spicy pineapple, a good idea but poor execution of an oriental centered blend

Something about this has me feeling like I’m smoking back in the 30s. It’s growing on me but right now I have it just above average.
Odd tin note

Product: Savinelli Janus 2oz
This has a slightly off putting tin note but do not let that deter you. I smells fantastic when lit in the bowl. This is a close tie for my favorite in the god series (right there with Jupiter). Will definitely be superb with aging.

Product: Savinelli Janus 2oz
This stuff is incredible. Although it does have a slightly weird tin note, I have to say that the nicotine is at a perfect high-mid, and the taste is like a sweet savory bread roll with one or two berries in the middle. Burns incredibly well and come... Read More

Unique, One Of A Kind

...beyond compare. "Facinatingly nuanced & exotic" it says on the tin, believe it. Ambrosial as in floral tasting as well. Medium to Strong VaPer. Orientals undetectable yet balanced and intriguing. Fancy Grade-A Flake with a mysteriously complex tin... Read More
note that follows through, past the initial punch. Moist & Clumpy. May need some air or several re-lights, slow burn. No bite. See for yourself, an adventure. The only somewhat similar blends that come to mind are Peterson's Hyde Park, and a tad citrus-like Dunhill Flake (now Peterson's) off the top. Perhaps Gawith&Hoggarth? Read Less
A little disappointed too.

Product: Savinelli Janus 2oz
I entirely agree with Joaquin D’s review on this. He/she nailed it with “spicy pineapple.” Yet, I was hoping for a little more from the orientals as well. Falls just short of what it could have been. Still, it’s a fine blend! The Virginia, Perique, a... Read More
nd orientals are all there. If you remember McClelland’s oriental blends, keep your expectations slightly low for this one, and then you might be delighted. Read Less
