The warm weather is here and it's time to smoke Virginia tobaccos! Check out Kyle's review, and look for links at the end for some really cool info on one of my favorite warm-weather tobaccos.

Great review. I enjoy OGS year round as it's just a very easy Virginia to smoke. Fold, rough up the fold as little, stuff and light. Easy peasy.

Good review, same as Ash enjoy OGS all year round easy to smoke , and definitely one of my favourites.

I smoke Virginias and OGS year round as well.

Funny this should pop up...have a tin ready to go !!

The fundamental work horse Virginia flake in many ways, and yet refined and interesting in flavor. This was my first flake, and I liked it right away. No show biz or big experience, just great smooth tobacco. Not everyone loves it, granted. But most enjoy it, and it is always a treat to come back to it. I have an unopened tin getting even better.

It's about two months away from the obligatory popping of another OGS tin. 5 years seems to have done nothing to it, or at least I don't notice anything. Maybe in ten, twenty years it will start to get exciting enough to smoke it more often. ::

Good, solid Virginia. Miss the square tins though!

And the one of the most selling pipe tobacco in Denmark.Ps.Does anybody know when this blend was first introduced in EU?

I have bought a tin sometimes last year, haven't had the curiosity to pot it open yet, but this may be the right occasion.

I just had it on my lunch break, good, solid and reliable. The undisputed lightweight champion of the world!

Definitely in my top 5 blends.

Great review!

Smoking OGS now in a Savinelli 614 I recently restored.

OGS is my go to blend. I smoke at least one bowl of OGS every day. For me, there is not a better way to either start a Saturday, or to to relax with after I get home from work.

 

[pianopuffer]

Completely agree. Love the stuff.
I hear that the 100g tins are somehow different than rhe 50g ones. Can anyone speak to this?

 

[elpfeife]

You can't beat OGS as a good basic smoke. By the way, nice job on that Sav Duane. I like that shape.

I have several tins of OGS, but I don't think I've ever actually smoked it. I'll make a point of opening one this summer. I think the oldest is from 2011, so pretty close to the reviewer's.

 

[9mmpuffer]

I've tried to like it but it just isn't for me.

 

[Chasing Embers]

By the way, nice job on that Sav Duane.

Thanks! I was amazed that that pipe was under the grime that I started with.
