Simplicity In Smoke
April 28, 2018
Product: Orlik Golden Sliced 100g
A clean, sweet, bright Virginia offered at a price that lends pipe smokers of even the most modest means the ability to stock a nice little cellar. This stuff is very reliable and always available. A staple for any lover of Virginia tobacco.
A fresh, crispy summer smoke.

Product: Orlik Golden Sliced 100g
I am reviewing the 100 gram round tin, not the square tin with flakes. Very interesting and peculiar cut with rarity value. It is basically a Flake Cut that has been sliced into very long, narrow ribbons, which sets it between a Broken Flake, and a R... Read More
eady Rubbed Cut. I like this cut. I do not rub it out, I cram it into my pipe straight out of the tin for best results.
There is this never ending controversy whether or not this mixture contains Perique. My tin description, which is rather long compared to others, does not mention Perique. Since original Saint-James-Parish-Perique is a quite expensive and exclusive tobacco, I think the producer would be delighted to mention it on the tin description, if there was any. The other side of the story is, on the internet homepage of (former Lane Ltd., now STG) Scandinavian Tobacco Group of USA www.stglanepipe.com they mention, that there is “a touch of Perique” in this blend.
GOLDEN SLICED is what I call a typical Danish Mixture, which by definition is mellow, pure natural tobacco with a gentle, subtle fruit (or liquor) casing. This mixture develops a remarkable fan of delicate aromas, mainly those known of Virginia, citrus fruits and some hidden fruit-flavours commonly attributed to Perique. I’d say this blend is young, bright, fresh, crisp; an ideal hot weather smoke. There is a reserved hint of sweetness in this blend. I am not a Danish, even less an Aromatic smoker, but I somewhat like GOLDEN SLICED, because all casing has been done unobtrusively, with great prudence and skill. Read Less

ked in a square tin. The 100g flakes end up being twice as long, bent and jammed into the standard circular tin. This puts people off, but it's great stuff however it's packaged. I only slightly prefer the 50g flake as it dries out a little quicker and is easier to eyeball for my pipes. Not really a perique bomb, but there is a whiff for sure. Chimney puffers will be put off by this blend as, with other Vas, one should puff as slowly as possible. I adore this flake in a Peterson system. Smokes just right! Also (though I usually ignore the price when reviewing a fine tobacco) the price is certainly right. Read Less

Dull, not so complex smoke
October 27, 2019

I found myself avoiding packing my pipe with this tobacco. The reason why is because it has a single note in taste throughout the entire smoke. I mean, it's OK for one, but it's just not for me I guess.

Orlik Golden Sliced flakes are about as safe as you'll find for new pipe smokers to try among non-aromatic tobaccos. The flakes are predominately Virginia with a tiny amount of Perique (still debated?). It is a mild-medium strength tobacco that can b... Read More
e enjoyed by fans of Virginias in general or as a mild VA/Per flake. The Perique is nearly undetectable. Unless you let the tin age for some time, you may not even notice the Perique at all. Don't get me wrong, these are delicious flakes from an early age and don't need to be aged to enjoy. What time can do is miraculous though. The Virginia becomes sweeter and fruitier and as such will no longer give the Perique a place to hide. The Perique provides a slight peppery spice that I really love in the retro-hale. It's never too strong, and is oft times regarded as never enough for fans of hearty VA/Pers. The flakes are smoke-able fresh, dried, or slightly moist...however you find yours. I prefer these flakes on the slightly dry side, mostly for the ease of lighting. As flakes, they burn a little slower, which makes for a nice half hour smoke per flake in my case. I usually fold and twist these into the bowl to load them which works great since they are so thinly sliced. I like to smoke OGS in a comfy billiard, but I've enjoyed it in many shapes and in both briar and cob. Some say this blend is bitey, and it can be if pushed too fast. Just relax and sip on it slowly and you should do fine. If you still find it harsh, just give it some time to age and sweeten up and you'll see it makes a big difference. That's about all I can say; Orlik Golden Sliced is almost universally praised, and readily available. If you have never tried it, then it's time you should. Enjoy. Read Less

have a much greater appreciation for this blend when I fold and stuff. If I rub it out beforehand it will burn hot and the flavor isn't as good, but with folding and stuffing brings out a lot of the sweetness in this blend. The Perique is primarily noticeable in the retrohale only, and I haven't noticed it in the flavor really. In my opinion, there are a ton of better va/pers out there in every metric, but OGS is a very economical flake that can give a sweet, haylike virginia smoke with a light topping that doesn't interfere much with the flavor. I'm not saying OGS is bad, and for lovers of golden Virginia tobaccos there is a lot to like here because this is a tasty and sweet bright virginia light vaper. For my tastes, however, the Dunhill Virginia's and vapers with more red Virginia and Perique are more up my alley. I will enjoy OGS occasionally when I'm looking for something milder. Smoke this one as slow as possible using the fold and stuff method for optimal results. Sipping will reward you with flavors you didn't know it had. Mild flavor and nicotine with medium body.

exas and I smoke a lot of this one in the summer time. It's got your typical VA taste profile and the citrus top notes just makes this one tasty any time of day. The only fall back in my opinion is that it doesn't contain much nicotine but that's a pro for those looking for an all day smoke. This can certainly be that. I would say this is absolutely essential.
I can't help it, the early reviews of this crack me up! It just goes to show ya that the power of suggestion is very powerful indeed. When the tin description error read Burley, guest what? Everyone was tasting Burley! People refused to believe that the correction on the label was legit and will probably go to their grave thinking that this blend contains Burley when all along it contained Perique. Lol. Read Less

Prior Review: 1.5 Stars. There are many more enjoyable tobaccos out there, be it for a beginner or veteran. Golden sliced lacks something keeping it from being great.

A unique flake in the 100gm tin. As suggested on this forum, I did not rub this out and just put it whole in the pipe. Initial light had a bit of bite on the tip of the tongue which slowly moved to the sides and eventually dissipated after a few mi... Read More
nutes. Tin aroma was fruity. Did not taste the citrus, but rather a berry. Bowl burnt slow and cool, and this is probably a result of the cut and method of packing I used. Flavour was good and a bit stronger than what I usually smoke (aromatics), with a creamy after taste.. The only down side was that the slow and long tenure of the burnt left little flavor at the bottom part of the bowl. Will have to try it again with a rubbing and a lighter packing. Read Less

Tasty virginia
March 03, 2017
Product: Orlik Golden Sliced 50g
Tin note is strong hay and lemongrass, no real fruitiness from the perique. The smoke is mild and has that lighter virginia sweetness. This is certainly on the lower end of perique however, it's there, but it is rather subtle compared to other VaPer'... Read More
s. I ordered the 50g tin, which is round, and so the flakes came smashed together into this uniform mass and were difficult to separate. On top of that, my tin came rather dry, and as a result, flavor was lost quicker than I expected. Perhaps I received a bad tin, but this is certainly a tasty and simple choice that could be good for an all day smoke. Read Less

This is one of the two definitive Virginia/Perique on the market. It is light enough to smoke repeatedly during the but with enough strength to know that you're puffing on more than hot air.

s everyone has different levels of tolerance there. The wife loves the room note; although, I'm not one of those lucky persons who get to smoke inside. If you get a trial run offer for this privilege, this would be a nice smoke to try to win your partner over. For the price you get an awful lot in terms of a quality smoke.

at this is a very, very smooth smoke. It is one of those rare tobaccos that actually seems to get better (and smoother) the further into the bowl it gets.

According to Orlik Factory Manager, Troels Juul Mikkelsen the label is an old translation error, which unfortunately has not been corrected, it should have read Perique instead of Burley.

tisfying Virginia with very minimal top flavorings, just a subtle citrus that really freshens up the mellow no bite tobacco flavor. 100g lasts me about two weeks as I usually smoke this mid-day or evenings, but really is a good first pipe in the morning. I like to smoke this in a large pipe and smoke it kind of slow to really pick up the fresh sweet Virginia. I try to keep 3 or 4 tins on hand so I don’t run out between orders and occasionally I will pass along a tin to another pipe smoker to get their response. I have about 40 or so tobaccos I keep on hand, but if I had to only keep 1, this would be my choice. Too bad it isn’t available in bulk quantities. Read Less
