The nutty, earthy burley also sports light spice and cocoa with a touch of molasses, and is the most obvious component. The citrusy, grassy Virginia plays a support role. The sugary black cavendish is almost a supporting player. The tobacco is a mixed cut: mostly ribbon, a little coarse cut, and a few big pieces of flake that may need pudding out, depending upon your preference. The mildly sweet Williams Christ pear topping sublimates the tobaccos to fair extent, though it has a sour alcohol note that some may find distracting. There’s a peppery spice added as well. The strength falls short of the center of mild to medium, while the taste hits that level. Has a very mild nic-hit. I experienced no bite, but it does burn warm on the tongue and tingles a mite, so I recommend a sipping pace. Burns a little fast with a mostly consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a sweet and sour after taste. Can be an all day smoke.

Yes, it has a indistinguishable fruitiness about it which one would expect from a pear flavored tobacco. It smokes hot, and always goes bitter about half way down, which ended any positive thoughts I might have had towards it. It may be better suited for someone who normally doesn't like aromatics, but I can't honestly recommend it. Not for me.

The usual fare of Cavendish and some flavouring and blah and blah blah blah blah.
Only if you like this type of thing.

Planta - Anno - MMVI (2006).
It's a bit of an eclectic looking blend, although there's all sorts of ribbon sizes, there's one or two big pieces of flake. The pouch has a medium weight aromatic smell. The hydration's perfect for immediate smoking, but perhaps a touch dry for long-term cellaring.
The smoke. The best tasting of the tobaccos is easily the Burley. Yes, it has a touch of the usual nuttiness, but the louder nuance from it's a chocolatey one. To be fair, the Virginia and Cavendish taste somewhat prosaic in comparison; not 'bad', or 'boring', but they lack anything special to separate them from the crowd. The pear comes over with certainty, being sweet and slightly fragrant, but I don't find it too strongly included. Although the review's going good up to now, here's some points to reduce the rating. Temperature and speed: it smokes extremely hot and goes like the clappers.
The nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: not my thing.
Planta Anno MMVI? Not horrible, but taking everything on board two stars feels right:
Somewhat recommended.

Well, it's obviously not for everyone, but I like it. The pear taste comes through a little better if you let some of the broken flake in the mix stay as-is. No rubbing. I def. taste the pear in the baccy and I likey...just had another chunk sent my way.

Mixture of cuts offer a good fruity as well as somewhat earthy nose. Take fire well with few re-lights. I do get some citrus notes from the Virginia and the earthy Burley is also very noticeable. The Cavendish offers up a bit of sweetness, but it is not the prime player. I find the pear flavor to be noticeable but not overwhelming. All in all a very pleasant and satisfying smoke. While not overly strong the nicotine is ample. I will smoke this on occasion and will most likely buy more bulk to jar and cellar.

A flat, hot-smoking aromatic. It's alleged to taste like pear, but I can't really see it. Pear is a mild flavor even when you EAT a pear, so it's hard to fathom that a tobacco could impart any kind of pear flavor. Even the bag note betrays the description. It's pretty much your standard aromatic underneath the hood -- at least the tobaccos in it are of good quality. Still, you can do better.
