My favorite golden sliceed
February 19, 2016
Product: Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced 100g
I've smoked Orlick's Golden flake, Samuel Gwaith's Golden Glow and Reiner's Long golden flake and Peter Heinrich's is my favorite. I'll say that Orlick's is a bit more complex but somehow the Peter Heinrich is more satisfying. The flake is pressed ..... Read More
. into a continuous ribbon with a wondrous tin note to be enjoyed even when you don't have time for a bowl. Light yet rich this is a highly satisfying smoke and has won a place as one of three tobaccos to be awarded a dedicated pipe in my collection. The others being Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong and McClelland's Black woods flake. Read Less

The best Virginia for me
Worlds longest flake
August 28, 2017
Product: Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced 100g
Tin note is of slight hay more of a fresh cut grass. I noticed an ever so small amount of spice. Moisture level a bit to fresh/ damp for me. Popped the tin three or four weeks ago and I just placed in a jar. First light is smooth I would call this mi... Read More
ld. Builds in intensity as you go, so if you like more flavor pack into a deeper pipe. After charing then true light I gather the grass note on the palate with a bit of bread. Retrohale is all grassy note and watch out to much and it will turn painfull... enjoy slowly with a medium dense pack this mild blend will remind you of summer in the front yard with the yard just mowed.

Fantastic Sweat Wood Flavour
August 28, 2016
Product: Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced 100g
The most characteristic Virginana I have ever smoked, unique charming sweat wood smell, not too strong, both tin note and room note is so fantastic, also, I especially like to smell it from the rim of my pipe when it is burning.

A substitute for Orlik, I'm convinced after trying orlik goldenden sliced prior to this they are the same product. Although this has an ever so slightly darker appearance prior to rubbing out, the smell is the same and I really can hardly spot the di... Read More
fference if there is any. I had thought in the past that this was slightly lighter and maybe a touch sweeter, but I'd surely fail a blind comparison test. I rubbed out equal amounts of orlik and this and cannot easily discerne one from another. If they are different products, hats off to Peter Heinrichs for pulling it off. Read Less

A great summer smoke

This tobacco gives a great sweet flavor not found in any other tobacco
Product: Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced 100g
What a delicious tobacco this is. It had me captivated the moment I cracked open the tin. Rather than being separate flakes this has been packaged in a similar fashion to Orlik Golden Sliced; one long flake rolled up. Upon the opening I can see that ... Read More
the tobacco has secreted a fair quantity of oils as the paper that tops the tin is heavily stained from them. The smell from the can is so enticing, a sort of raisin/dough/bread like aroma. The tobacco is quite dark in appearance and although the paper top had a good oil covering the flake itself is of a perfect hydration to smoke right away. I opt to tare off some of the flake, rub it out, pack my pipe then light it up and if I was captivated from the aroma I'm truly enchanted by the taste.
I get a flavour very similar to the tins note. Obviously the Virginia is the main player, grassy and fresh but alongside it there's that same raisin/dough/bread enhancement which is absolutely lovely. The nicotine is about medium in this which suits me well. If you require a tobacco to sit and relax with without the need to keep fiddling about with your lighter and tamper then this is for you; it can be enjoyed with very few relights and only a little tamping.
If someone were to say to me "this is the only blend you can smoke for the rest of your life" my retort would be "well I can easily deal with that". Total smoking bliss. Highly recommended. Read Less

"There are certain delicious sensations that are no less intense for being vague." - Charles Baudelaire
This tobacco is fresh and enticing right from the tin, falling to short, chunky "ribbons" as the flakes are handled. It packs... Read More
and lights OK and, once it is lit, I find it takes but little attention to keep it lit. It makes enough smoke, and it is "strong enough", within the context of its profile. IMO, it is best smoked in still air, to the point of smoking it indoors, if you can. Anyway, I do NOT recommend doing chores with a pipe full hanging from your jaw. I will even go out on a limb and say it might be best in a narrow "sipping" stack that is dedicated to it.
What is really good here may be ephemeral, but it is also exceptional, if not unique, mild, rather nutty Virginia tobacco with a delicate topping that need not offend even the most sensitive and inquisitive palate. This same VA does "muscle up" some over the course of a bowl, but in decidedly relative terms, and many probably never even notice this effect. Smoked down, the "smoky" part of its Va flavor concentrates, to the point where one might well miss the rancid fruit and an increasingly "acrid" quality that is - somehow - not only not offensive - at all - but it is part of what makes this blend special, IMO. And, oddly, the delicious, enduring aftertaste gradually works its way back to Va sweet.
All in all, despite my prolix intonements, I am pretty much at a loss for words here, like trying to describe dejas vu (or type it without proper script options...). Just, if you're willing to make the effort, this can delight, reward and even satisfy in a way that is not only different but better than other "light" tobaccos. Read Less
This is some good stuff

Product: Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced 100g
Really, all I can say is that this is some good stuff. Those who don't like straight Virginia tobacco, don't bother. For those who do like them, this is a winner. Grassy, light, and citrusy. Just like others have said. I've had many enjoyable smokes ... Read More

Like Orlik Golden Sliced
July 30, 2017
Product: Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced 200g
I agree with other reviewers - this is very similar to Orlik Golden Sliced, which should not be surprising given the name, and last time I checked they were both made in the same factory. If you compare the per ounce price of the Heinrichs 200g vs t... Read More
he 100g Orlik, they are almost identical.
After many bowls of both, I've concluded that the Orlik has slightly more emphasis on the orange-citrus flavor, where Heinrichs has more emphasis on the bread-like flavor and is slightly sweeter. But as others have noted, I don't know if I'd be able to identify them in a blind test. Like most Va blends, you'll enjoy this more if you go slow; if you chug it, you may miss the flavor and get tongue bite. At a regular pace I've never been bit by this blend. There are richer, more complex Virginia flakes out there, but I think Heinrichs is a solid straight Virginia flake worth trying. Read Less
