Orlik Vintage, Anyone?

[smudgersmissingleg]

The UK shops are stocking Orlik Golden Sliced, again. It had been unavailable in the UK for some years so that's great news.

They're also selling Orlik - Vintage. I'd never heard of this one and I couldn't find reviews through Google. Anyone tried this before? Seems like it's OGS that's matured in the press for longer. Sounds interesting.


Orlik - Vintage

"Fully matured Virginia tobaccos are the base of this mellow flake cut tobacco. As with Orlik Golden Sliced, the tobacco is pressed into cakes. Orlik Vintage flake then remains under pressure to allow greater infusion of the leaf in the cake until it is fully matured. The longer maturing process allows the flavours of the leaf to blend together, giving an even smoother, mellow smoking experience, enjoyable any time of the day."

Definitely looking forward to seeing this hit the US market. I liked all of the Orlik blends I've tried and wish that DSK, Racing Green, and Mellow Mixture would make a comeback.

New to me... get some and write it up!

smoking that stuff is basically the Judge equivalent of the Bar for lawyers. Seriously all shrewd judges smoke Orlik. In fact it's the main thing wrong with the legal system, they don't let the judges smoke Orlik at the bench.

Perhaps this will be quite similar to B&H Mellow Virginia?

From what I've heard this is just Orlik Golden Sliced with some age on it.

Sounds like a solid gimmick to me!

I don't know about that. It depends on how much extra time it's in the press for. The description doesn't say and there isn't any pictures of the tobacco, either. Ive got some EA Carey - Dark Flake No.7, and that was kept in the press for 8 weeks which gives a really deep leathery flavour.

Unfortunately I haven't got any spare cash at the mo or i'd buy a tin and see. Hopefully someone on here can let us know if they try it.

Here's a first impression video from Jack Ryan Pipes. You can see the flake. LINK

Thanks for the link, mate. It didn't look as dark as i'd hoped it would but the dude giving his first impressions said it had less of the citrus taste and was slightly more mellow. I'll definitely get a tin the next time I put in an order.

I really like Orlik Mellow Mixture a lot. Wish it was available again…

If I were in court and the judge was not smoking Orlik, I would be VERY concerned.

That is the leading cause of innocent people getting the death penalty for minor infractions.

If anyone tries this then please let us know what you think, especially compared to regular OGS.

Probably about 1/2 hour.

It does seem odd to release another version of the same thing just pressed longer. Hopefully eventually we’ll get to the root of what it actually is.

Not that odd: SG BBF, Golden Glow, FVF are the same, but with longer press time as one moves along the list.

I didn’t know that, thanks.

According to Tobacco Review the 2007 version was pressed into cakes then aged 24 months before being sliced. Same here?
