Video: Pipe Tobacco at Orlik
Troels Mikkelsen Discusses TobaccosFrankly, I think this is one of the coolest videos we've yet posted. Troels Mikkelsen has been in the tobacco business for thirty years, first at A&C Petersen, then at Orlik. He manages production at the Orlik factory and I can't imagine a better guide to the operation. The visit was an absolute delight, and Troel's discussion of the various tobacco varietals was one of the highlights.

I find it interesting that, for the most part, Burley tobaccos have the same nicotine content as Virginias, but that the sugars in Virginias affect how our bodies absorb it. There is always something new to learn.

I didn't know that either (obviously from the video) until Troels said so. I learned a lot during the visit, and not just about how Orlik does stuff. It was fascinating.
