Hello everybody,
I just wanted to throw it out there that Savinelli’s 140th is fantastic.
Far and away one of the best tobaccos I’ve ever had in my five years of smoking.
It’s very, very possible it’s the best I’ve had.
I’m not here to stir up FOMO, instead to perhaps point newer members or those of whom, like me, thought it was sort of odd, and passed on it.
If you enjoy VA-based blends, you should really go for it.
When I first picked some up, I thought there was a good chance I’d hate it.
I despise dark fired tobacco or anything even cigar leaf adjacent, and the idea of wildflower and citrus essence on top of that certainly didn’t make me run for my wallet, but honestly, it’s so good. Every bit of it is as perfectly balanced as I’ve ever smoked and more. Each constituent tobacco is simply delicious. There is a lovely bit of smokiness, but it is not in your face at all, and to my palate, doesn’t have a cigar leaf taste whatsoever. The topping works just so damned well.
Honestly, this stuff actively pisses me off at how good it is. Understand, it’s not mind-blowing, it’s just really good, even fresh out the tin. Something I wish wasn’t such a rarity. Either way, if you have the means, go for it, it’s great.
