Orlik Golden Sliced Pipe Tobacco Tins

I can see why I his is a favorite and a potential all day choice. Little Nic hit and very smooth. The orange/citrus notes don't particularly show up for me. More of fresh hay quality. Quickly becoming a primary go to! Glad I bought extra to cellar.

Excellent tobacco! The perique isn't aggressive!! It just gives all the space at the beginning to the Virginia and slowly but steadily it shows itself. It is surely an all day tobacco to enjoy!

Light, grassy all day smoke

To understand the taste of Orlik, you have to know of Vergil’s Elysian Fields. Or take a shortcut to the movie Gladiator; when Maximus runs his hand along the tips of grain as he journeys to his wife and son. Put that in you pipe and smoke it. That’s the taste.

Great virginia tobacco I keep this one cellard.

This is the first Virginia flake that I tried. I didn’t understand the hype at first but after a few bowls, I now understand.

I was coming down from a crazy week of strange news, situational problems, and running well-fired pipes full of ripping-hot, smoking-like-tar Latakia. It was terribly intense, but sort of delicious and necessary as well- heavily-burned tongue and all. I decided I needed to tone it down, and got a can of Orlik's Golden Sliced popped open. That's mild enough, right? It smelled clean, with maybe a hint of anise; no Lat here. I let a couple flakes dry in the sun for a while, as I prepared myself for a mild time. The opening notes of the smoke were square and honest; light, like smoking straw. I began to imagine the boring run that this would be. Somewhere it says there is a nice "hay" flavor that is supposed to roll within this smoke. Hmm. OK. So, I sat there waiting to catch that "hay" flavor. But about a third of the way into the bowl, the profile began to shift into a heavier, thicker, sweeter ride; maybe some Perique edging up spicily? I liked it. I started to run the pipe hotter. Suddenly the whole damned thing came together and made sense. The nicotine hit came on, as my head filled with clouds of spicy-sweet caramel marshmallows. There was a little drool on the stem as I sat and kept mwa-mwa-ing on this now-billowing wonder. As we reached the end of the ride, I sat in the buzz and solace of the next little while, estimating that this surely had been the second-most-memorable smoke that I had ever had. So. Orlik's Golden Sliced? Yes. Every morning now. MMmmm I have become a certified Shrewd Judge.

After hearing all the hype on this stuff I figured I’d check it out myself. Glad I did! It’s became my new favorite.

This tobacco blend has been my favorite for many years. Probably the only flaw Orlik produces it only in tin.
