Savinelli Armonia...fruity, plumby and strong!
First, let me say that Savinelli makes great pipes. I have a bent billiard that smokes great even though the polish isn't holding up too well. I have just ordered my second pipe, a bulldog which I am anxious to try.
I smoked a tin of this when I first got into the hobby in January. I forgot how cloying this mixture is.
After opening it, I felt a tinge of regret because I am now a die-hard fan of Virginias. But I do keep an English, a pure Virginia and a "random" blend in my rotation. Never more than three blends at a time to choose from to avoid sensory overload.
So...Armonia, Italian for "Harmony" is anything but.
Plum,cherry, candy coated and cavendish underneath. It's very sweet so be prepared. I can not recommend this to anyone who doesn't already like super-sweet blends. Like I said, I've moved on to Virginias and their ilk, so I'm keeping this one around as my "third". But this will be the last time I smoke this blend.
