Orlik Golden Sliced

[tokerpipes]

I picked up a tin of Orlik Golden Sliced. I am not much for english style smoke, but I gave it a whirl.
Not the best purchase I have made. My B&M doubled the price from online sites but what ever. Nice peppery flavor You could distinctly taste the VA in this blend. First experience with a pressed sliced tobacco. I folded 2 slices couple times and rubbed them into my bowl. The first light was a little troublesome, probably needed to rub them a bit more. Stayed hot the entire smoke. Nice after taste and not too much bite on my toung. The room note was what I expected, thick smell of a woodsy sent. Not a tobacco to smoke before kissing the wife for sure, as it made my clothes smell.
As i went back into work from my truck people looked at me like i just got done working in a pig pen. think i am going to put this one up for trade, and stick to my aero blends.

I think I will keep a couple bowls from it for the future. The wife would rather smell the aero's on me.

Man orlik was my first VA when switching from aroes, you really may want to smoke maybe 3 or 4 more bowls,I HATED my first bowl of it with a passion, second bowl was better, rubbed it out extra and then let it dry a decent amount and try tried it again.....now it is possibly my favorite tobacco, keep trying it at least a little, you may be surprised

 

[tokerpipes]

I will try a few more bowls thanks guys. I will keep ya informed.

Is OGS an English? I thought an English had lat or orientals in it. Regardless, OGS is in my rotation.

 

[tokerpipes]

Its Danish but it does kinda fall close to the english blends flavor.

Opened my tin of this last week, I've only smoked once since I have a very bad cold so it is too early to tell if I like it. However, it was what I expected a full "Virginia" type of tobacco. I didn't get any of the "citrusy" notes/tastes from it but there seemed to be something in the distant background while I smoked it. I hope that I can grow to like this blend.

Received a bit of this in a sampler and LOVED it. I really enjoyed the citrus notes, they were very apparent to me. Had some Earl Grey tea with a second bowl and it was even better. Plan of stashing a tin to age for later.

For the record: Orlik Golden Sliced is NOT an English pipe tobacco.
Technically, it falls into the Virginia / Perique category (VaPer) as it has a touch of Perique in it.
However, I think it is better classified as a Virginai (straight Virginia) as the Perique is in such minute quantities that it isn't detectable.
For the best smoking experience, I suggest rubbing it out, then letting it dry for 30-minutes (if it is a new tin), and smoking very slow.
That will deliver a delicious, naturally sweet Virgina flavor.

I was hoping the tin I bought would get better, But it's still not doing it for me.

I was kinda disappointed because of all the great reviews I've read.

I'll try 1 more time in another month before I send it off to a new home!

 

[markw4mms]

I'll take it if you still don't like it. I might have an aro you'd be willing to try.

Sirsmokesalot - For me, I find that Orlik Golden Sliced is more of a Spring or Summertime smoke.

I never meet a tobacco i didnt like found some that were not in my fav list but still......

Just smoked my first bowl a few nights ago. It seemed a little moist for my tastes so, aired it out for an hour. I love the stuff. I can't say it's a daily smoke but, I find it a very good after dinner smoke.

 

[jchaplick]

I can't say it's a daily smoke

Oh boy, I disagree, Orlik is one of my favorite everyday smokes

Orlik Golden Slice just might make me change my mind! I thought it was a very solid smoke and I plan to always keep it around in my stash.

 

[danno]

Yes, Love it.

Ok, I just got a tin of Orlik GS and to me,,it tastes just like PS LNF. I laid out a flake of each,side by side, and the grain and color appear to be a perfect match. I do have a bit of a cold going on now so my taster may not be up to snuff, but they sure look and taste the same to me. Any thoughts on this?

 

[cortezattic]

Good observation dottle. :clap: I'll have to do a comparison the next time I have both on hand.
For 2oz., the PS/LNF is about $1.40 less than a 50g tin of Orlik (Little Red).

OTOH, stocking up on the Orlik would be more convenient since the PS/LNF is sold in bulk.

I love OGS. I'm with Kevin though, It is a great spring/summer smoke.
