Savinelli's Armonia blend combines Virginia, golden Oriental, and a touch of Burley and Kentucky with a natural citrus fruit flavoring in a combination of ribbon and broken flake. It's generally recommended as most enjoyable when smoked slowly.
Pipe Nook Notes
The fruit flavoring used in this blend is an undisclosed blending secret, but don't expect a sweet, juicy blast like fruit gum or a juice box. If I had to guess, I would say this is lemon zest, which in this blend gives just a bit of sweetness, but also a sour-like, almost peppery profile. Like all of the Savinelli aromatics, this one is only slightly sweet, allowing the base tobacco blend to shine through. Some of that tartness or sharpness is no doubt coming from the inclusion of Orientals, with a bit of added mesquite smokiness from the Dark-Fired Kentucky. This is a unique blend, and the closest blend I could compare it to would be Valle Crucis by Two Friends, which is flavored with a bit of ginger for a touch of spice. They are not the same, but if you like one, you might just like the other.
