Savinelli Janus, Juno, and Jupiter

[Casual]

So what do we know about them? Who makes them? Anyone try them yet?

I ordered some Jupiter sight unseen as I’m into VaBurs and Vaburkeys these days.

I'd like to see a trusted review or two before taking the plunge. They all sound great but then that's the whole purpose of marketing.

I went in for the Juno.

Placed an order so I added Juno and Jupiter. I collect Roman coins so they had me on the tin art.

Fortunately these aren't likely limited editions, so we'll have time to hear everyone's thoughts before ordering.

Sounds interesting but I'm not gonna bite this time. SP has had us on a real roller coaster with new and special editions the past few months. Enough already!

 

[cshubhra]

I love the names and tin art. Will buy when it’s time for my next order.

What a great problem to have! I am glad this is actually a complaint.

I bought five tins of the one with Orientals and one tiny each of the other two. I like a number of Savinelli offerings so I trusted these would be decent.

I imagine they'll be good, solid blends. Before anybody asks, I was not asked to review them, so I don't know any more than anybody else does.

These look perfect to smoke while rewatching “I, Claudius”, if only I was allowed to smoke indoors...

 

[crawdad]

I'm going to pass. There's been too many new offerings lately and I've yet to catch up.

They had me at Virginia/Oriental flake.

Same here. The only issue is that I am tapped out on TAD funding.

I’m also curious as to who makes these blends. I would think the 2oz format as opposed to 50g is a clue.

I don't know if it's true, but one of the retailers says it's C&D, but packed in screw top tins.

 

[3rdguy]

C&D makes them I believe.

Hope so. C&D had been putting out some nice VaOr blends recently.

C&D makes them I believe.

This makes sense to me as the only company I know that normally packages 2oz portions into round flat tins.... well it just can’t be them.

Esoterica's come in 2oz. New Germain's as well. Not sure what else..
