Judges are human after all. And to err is human. Opinions are like.. well you know. I have a tin of each open and they are both great but it is the uniqueness of Erinmore that gains it my vote.

+1 for OGS. Erinmore is nice, but just not as ready for a repeated smoke for me. OGS tins run from me because they know as soon as I open them they're done for.

Haven't tried Erinmore, but Orlik was love at first puff, just so simple but smooth and subtle. It just doesn't wear out. A tin is gone too soon.

I just tried my first bowl of Erinmore. I like it a lot more then Golden Sliced. It was a lot smother. Golden Sliced smoked harsh for me. So my choice is Erinmore

I can't decide. Erinmore to me had a unique flavor which appealed to me greatly, but the gently nuances and smoothness of the OGS gets me relaxed at the end of a hard day. So for me I think a slight edge goes to OGS, but maybe in a rematch EF will take the belt.

Erinmore flake was my "go to" for many years until I joined this forum. I must have tried 70 different blends since, lol. I have a tin of the Orlick in my cellar though, which I haven't sampled yet. Time for a comparison!

Well, it's been a close fight, with a 9-9 tie as recently as a day or so ago. By my count, however, OGS wins late in the seventh round by a score of 10 to 9.
I've had a week to think about various comparisons and now can't decide which one to throw out there next. I've got a list that should last several weeks.
PM me if you have a specific "fight" you would like to see in Monday Night lights.
I've also asked Kevin about a poll function (hint, hint). We shall see ;)
I know we have more than 19 members, so hopefully I can spark more controversy (and participation) in the next one!

I have to go with Orlik. I just opened my first tin of Orlik today and smoked two bowls. This is some good stuff. I will be buying more for the cellar. Erinmore isn't bad either. I smoke it in my cob at work sometimes but my vote would go to Orlik.
