Savinelli 140th Anniversary - I decided to give it a try. Crazy good blend. My cellar is now set with this blend. Moisture is just about perfect. Smooth creamy smoke. My senses are too dull to taste the "Floral Essences, Fruit / Citrus" but I can smell the "flavoring" on my clothes. My palete is simply unrefined so I linked the Jim Inks review below. I just know that I am really liking this blend. Listed as an aromatic, but not aromatic at all for me as noted. C & D is now using the burley "florets" in a new "small batch" blend. No bite just smooth taste. I would suggest trying it. Here is the description:
Commemorating 140 years of pipe making tradition, Savinelli's 140th Anniversary Blend is an elegant mixture of red and bright Virginias, spiced with Orientals and choice dark-fired florets from Italy, and infused with subtle notes of citrus and wildflowers for a unique and satisfying smoke.
The special florets used in this blend are a staple in Italian cigar production, and are all grown and double-fermented on a singular farm in the Tuscan Tiber Valley region of Italy— a location recognized for its history and tradition of tobacco cultivation dating back to the 17th century.
