| Normally I agree on Eulenburg's reviews and I love to read them - they are a hoot.
But in this case I very much disagree on the above statements. Initially, Luxury is quite close to Golden Sliced in appearance, smell and taste.
But after a closer encounter Luxury is a tad darker, due to the small amount of Burley added (which is not used in Golden Sliced), and this gives it a more nutty and tobaccoish flavour. The citrus-topping used in Golden Sliced is present but much more sparingly used. There is also a honeylike topping added, and I'll bet my fur that it is the same as in Orlik's Rubbed Out Honeydew. This combo is a success if you ask me.
But still: more tobacco taste, less topping, smoother on the palate, same burn qualities, and last but not least - more nicotine.
Love it!
