Orlik - Golden Sliced 50g
A straight forward yellow
This is one of those go-to's if you want to just go back to the basics a bit. A straight forward pressed golden Virginia flake. Is high in sugar and that's to be expected the oh so subtle sweetness plays in the background with notes of hay and earth at the forefront. There's also just the dicotomy that comes with every Virginia especially when pressed for a while as more notes of start to come out of the wood work you do have this slight tang that comes towards the end of the puff. A classic and def a good introduction to Virginias and maybe even flakes for that matter as the price is right! Definitely was my first full Virgina and I will say I still keep tins on hand to this day.
Germain - Royal Jersey: Cavendish and Virginia 50g
Truly a worthwhile cavendish blend
To those who know, know this is one of the end all be all of cavendish blends. To those who haven't yet had the opportunity to try this truly sublime tobacco by Germain's all I can tells ya is if you are an enjoyer of light/brown Cavendish or Cavendish in general that leans towards the less sweet this is absolutely worth a try. You certainly won't be disappointed with all the subtle Virginia notes that play quite well with the initial flavors of the Cavendish. That is ladies and gentlemen if you can secure a tin for a reasonable price of course!
Reiner - Blend No. 51 50g
Dark fired Kentucky goodness
If you're a fan of some good quality dark fired Kentucky this blend is definitely one worth trying. A wonderful cornocopia of flavors with the spicy Kentucky def taking spotlight, though as the flavor developes the other tobaccos flavors start come through and really only serve to compliment the initial smokiness in this wonderful blend. One of my favorite tins to reach for the in morning!
