They are in the same vein being only lightly flavored. I have to say that Reniers slam dunks Orlik by long shot. I find Orlik boring beyond belief but Reniers really flavorful. I think you will find some close to straight (non stoved) virginias that are in the realm you like. Maybe peter stokkebye luxury flake. Most find it better aged. There are a lot but that is what comes to mind before my coffee has kicked in.
Thx. I smoked peter stokkebye luxery flake and love it. Really good tobacco. Also escudo I liked. Something I don't know famous brands I am searching better than reiner.
If you like those two (and PS LNF) you'll also like Hamborger Veermaster...It also gets better with some age on it...
I think Erik Stokkebye Evening Flake is real good.
It’s similar in that it’s what I would call a European style flake made of Virginia and a tiny touch of Perique.
It’s really good in my opinion and it’s fairly inexpensive. Of course it was even less expensive 5 years ago but what wasn’t?

That VA flake style is European, in particular Continental, though GH CR Flake is closer than most UK flakes. Former's flakes are similar, though Perique is more evident. Likewise Tordenskjold Virginia Slices and Aylesbury Sir John's and Classic/Virginia Flakes. My fave in this series is Dunhill/Peterson (Light) Flake (= Klondike Gold). I'm still sorting the McConnell and Charatan knockoffs of Dunhill. Sutliff's demise may have killed Wessex Virginia Slice in its cardboard tins, which strike me as close to the Aylesburys. Other casualties may be the MacBaren HH Pure and Virginia Flakes along with Capstan Gold. In fact, all of these (except CR) seem close, as if they are all the same flakes with tiny tweaks in topping.
Interesting, I like both but don’t find those 2 very similar at all. The White Burley plays a rather strong role with the Reiner while the Virginia is dominant with Orlik with the perique playing a complimentary role.
A couple of other fine lemony Virginia EuroFlakes to chase: F&T Vintage and the short lived Drew Estate Gatsby.
If you like the citrus of OGS, you might like G.L. Pease Laurel Heights. It's definitely got some "orange" in there but it's not at all overpowering. I also love Peterson (formerly Dunhill) Flake.
