Orlik Golden Sliced Pipe Tobacco comes from a blend of dark and bright Virginias with strong Perique from Louisiana. The blend is pressed into thin plates, which are matured under pressure before being spun tightly into rolls around a core of Black Cavendish. The rolls are then matured before being cut and packed.
Based out of Assens, Denmark, the Orlik Tobacco Company is one of the greatest and the biggest in the world. This company uses the slogan, “Smoked by all shrewd judges,” with an image of a judge in a wig on all of its products. The Orlik Tobacco factory produces more than 400 flavors that are sold across the globe under different names, brands, and classes. The Golden Slice range of Orlik has some distinctive characteristics, and a few of them include:
- A Forever Favorite: The Golden Slice line has been made with the special Virginia-flake tobacco, which has been flue-cured and mixed with a hint of Perique. This is a favorite, particularly among Danish pipe smokers, and one actually realizes this fact once they relish the flavor of this pipe tobacco. The smokers get hints of citrus-based flavors along with the spice note that the drop of Perique offers. The flavor profile is vibrant but not harsh.
- An Absolute All-Rounder: The nicotine hits are mild, and the smoke strength of this tobacco is in the mild to medium range. There is an even burn with little moisture, which makes this smoke acceptable for a brief puff or a relaxed and extended one.
This blend is available in pouches and tins. Both may carry 50g of the blend. However, 100g tins can also be purchased separately. The Golden Slice line offers a variety of packages with a burst of flavor at affordable prices.
