Great Reference Point
February 26, 2018
Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
The "paint can" tin is the best in the business and there is no need to transfer the tobacco into a mason jar, as it will hold the moisture level perfectly. The tobacco comes in long, rolled up flakes and the moisture level is just how I li... Read More
ke it and ready to be smoked right out of the tin. This is the best presentation I have come across and I proudly display it alongside my pipes. I have smoked it in all different sized bowls and I prefer to smoke this in a larger bowl because a smaller one is just too short of a smoke and I find that when I'm smoking this one, I never want it to end. This blend smokes cool and feels soft and silky as I retrohale, it can surely bite when pushed to hard but it's overall pretty forgiving. I definitely detect a very light top note but I wouldn't consider this an aromatic, it's just enough to add to the overall nuance of the blend. At first, I thought that this tasted exactly like Orlik Golden Sliced and it does have some similarities but this here blend is on the shelf above the top shelf, it's absolutely amazing and I promise you, it doesn't get any better than this. This blend is a bit on the pricey side but R.L Will is very strict on what tobaccos make the cut, he only accepts the best of the best so I have no problem paying for quality and quality is really an understatement in regards to this blend. The tobacco burns down to a fine grey ash and never leaves moisture build up in the bottom of the bowl. I have found my Holy Grail, boys and I'm willing to share it with all of you, just be sure to leave some for the rest of us. I honestly don't know why I even smoke other blends within the same genre, nothing compares... nothing! Absolutely essential! Read Less

有人跟我说这个草跟红法很像,开盖闻着是跟红法很像。点火开抽的话,比起红法来说斗温较低,味道纯净。对得起价格,之所以不给满分,是因为个人口味好更重一些的草。

Everything about this tobacco is awesome. The paint can is fantastic. The long flake is gorgeous and perfect moisture right out of the tin. The tin note is beautiful. And the taste is super bready. To me this tastes like toasted rye bread. I don't g... Read More
et a lot of perique, but it's there. In the beginning of the bowl kind of a wallop of burley...which I'm not a fan of...but it quickly fades into the background and becomes this super yeasty, lightly spicy, bready toast virginia. Just a super nice virginia blend, all around classy and classic. Worth the money for sure if you like bready virginias. Read Less

This is similar to Orlik Golden Sliced but very much better. It has a richer, more complex flavor. It is slightly expensive but worth the price.
Good but mild

Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
I don't believe this has a "wollop of nicotine" as some claim, but I suspect some folks are more susceptible to nicotine than others, so take that into consideration. It's also not Orlik Golden Sliced by another name. I believe the Orlik ... Read More
is a good bit stronger, and as I prefer VA/PERs on the stronger side, I have drastically cut back smoking the Reiner LGF. If you really prefer a milder smoke yet are a real fan of Virginias, this might be exactly what you are looking for. It smokes well and has a pleasant VA flavor. I do like the long ribbon, makes for easy folding if you like to smoke that way. I can't quite see why Reiner uses such a large can as it could be shortened by half and the tobacco would still fit.

丝丝甘甜,回味无穷

Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
大金龙开罐味如红法,草的湿度较干,可开罐即食。入口不咬舌,但过鼻有轻微刺激感。
这款草一定是要控制好冷火慢熬才能捕捉到那丝回甘,不经意间还有一丝木香,抽吸频次稍快一点就消失了。个人觉得比红法贵,但层次感不如红法,性价比一般。但也不失为一款不错的烟草。

算是最认可的V草了!甜味适中,辣度适中,烟草还原度很高。

almost a cult tobacco
January 27, 2017
Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
First off its not orlik golden sliced. Its similar, sort of. But the Orlik has very little Perique...so little there was an ongoing dispute as to whether it had any or not. This, the Reiners, has a fare amount. Its not Beacon Extra by any means, but ... Read More
the Perique is there. Its very sharp, as opposed to earthy (St James Flake say) and it blends well with the bright Virginias and the moderate amount of burly. It comes in long strips of thin flake (or rather ONE long strip)...a bit like marlin flake. It burns cool and has a just short of medium nic hit. Its a very high quality blend. Read Less
Orlik in a different tin

Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
This is just Orlik Golden Sliced in a different tin with twice the price. Same thing for Drew Estates Gatsby Flake - these people just buy the Orlik, perhaps spray it with a slightly different flavor, then charge higher prices.

不如红法香甜美妙,不过也算是精品了。最大的好处是亲和力比较强,个性不强烈也是一种个性。适合阅读或者写东西的时候品尝,让人比较放松。如果说有缺点的话,就是价格略微贵了一点儿,最好在有折扣的时候买。属于可以长期存储和享用的斗粮。相信开罐后超过一两个月以后会有更好的表现。

A Gold Standard in Virginia Tobaccos
January 11, 2021
Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
The Reiner is absolutely fantastic. I love the paint-can tin - I found it helps preserve the moisture better than the typical twist-lid.
You could consider this a high-grade Orlik. It maybe has less Perique. The Reiner is a fuller smoke, burns co... Read More
oler, and has less bite. Where Orlik has "hay-like citrus" sweetness, the Reiner has the floral notes of honey and sweetness/tang of orange. It's also overall just sweeter than the Orlik.
Perhaps another close relative/reference point is the Ashton Gold Rush , and the flavour tends more on lemon rather than orange.
Absolutely worth the extra money for when you want a better-than-average all-day smoke. Read Less

Product: Reiner Blend No. 71 100g
But I liked this so well that I have to comment. I'm not generally a "straight Virginia" smoker. I like my latakia and perique and usually don't care for blends without them. This tobacco changed my mind. On opening the tin, I found these l... Read More
ovely, thin and lightly moist flakes. Easily folded, crumbled, rolled into a ball, they lit nicely and burned well. I quickly found that if I hurried, my tongue would get a quick message telling me to slow down. Once I did, a wonderful flavor and volumes of smoke were the results. After just one bowl, this has a place in my regular rotation Read Less

This is desert island blend (at least until I discover my next favorite). The sweet bright Virginias are focus with the light honey and orange flavoring there to bring out the natural sweet characteristics of said Virginias. The Perique is not too n... Read More
oticeable as far as spice. It’s much more of a condiment adding a little dark fruit tartness (it will also help kickstart the aging process). The small amount of burley in this flake is an important balancing bass note, adding a savory nuttiness as well as body and strength. Absolutely an all day, anytime smoke for me. Definitely going to keep the cellar well stocked with little gold paint cans! Read Less

I'm a flake fan, VA Flakes, DFK Flakes, VA/Per Flakes, etc. I rate Erinmore Flake and Orlik Golden Sliced highly and smoke both regularly. But, I had a favorite that sadly did not last long...Drew Estates: Gatsby Luxury Flake. When I read the Drew Es... Read More
tates press release I was halfway through my last tin. This sparked a need to find a replacement. Yes, while everyone was bummed out about Dunhill and McClelland, I was on the hunt for a tasty VA perhaps VA/Per Flake that would match Gatsby. I asked around, read many reviews and chat threads and eventually decided that Reiner: Long Golden Flake sounded like my best bet. It may seem pricey, but it's a 100g, not the usual 50g, so not really. It comes in an awesome paint can style tin that reseals airtight without the need of jarring, so that saves money too. Honestly, when you buy something this good, you can't get cheap anyway. Once you have tried this, what I'm saying should make perfect sense. I fell in love with this right away. Even with it's Perique, it lacked the peppery retro-hale that Gatsby had so I'm still looking for a replacement, but in many ways this is ultimately a better tobacco. It is top shelf. It's rather mild and smooth and bite free, but full of bread-like taste and richness rarely matched. The best way to explain it is that it taste like a Virginia should. While Orlik Golden Slices is a good anytime VA, Reiner: Long Golden Flake is best saved for special occasions and celebrations. I can't wait to see how well this ages. Is this similar to Orlik's Golden Sliced? Yes, there are both VA Flakes. And, If you can't tell the difference, please buy the Orlik. Otherwise, I hope you find as much enjoyment with this flake as I have. Read Less

smoke regularly that 1. Dosen't nip and 2. is interesting enough to keep me coming back. I have tried many golden blends, FVF, CVP, G.S etc. the list goes son. But from first light, I just knew that need not search any more for the blend that hits all the notes. Sweet, Honey , Grass, Spice and Fruit from the perique and strength and balance from the burley. Easy to prep and pack, perfect right out of the tin. I can only count one one hand the blends ready to smoke as soon as you open the tin and this is one. R.L.

a simultaneously dry and sweet spicy virginia perique blend. The creaminess of the white burley is prominent throughout the smoke, melding it together. Great with a cup of coffee, better with a pint. Though I suppose that's true of all tobaccos; this one especially. Read Less
