Reiner Blend 71: Long Golden Flake
(3.61)
A very special blend of golden Virginias, a little "white" burley, and a touch of perique to make things interesting. Pressed into long flakes, sliced, then rolled in the tin in long strips.
Notes: From the Kohlase & Kopp website (translated from German): Golden Virginia, some white burley and a pinch of perique. Long flake tobacco rolled. The website also confirms a honey/orange flavoring is added.

Another fine mix of Virginia and Perique with a touch of Burley. I find this to be a nice, fairly mild, even burning smoke with a light Burley bite (not enough to worry about) and an occasional Perique tickle.
This is a simple smoke that wont offend most poeple indoors and burns long and cool for a walk outdoors. It requires some crumbling due to the long strips in the can. The can has a good seal for keeping once opened.

The presentation of this tobacco IS outstanding. My 100g tin had but five "flakes" in it, each about a foot long and two inches wide. As such, it's also a bit impractical/unwieldy, but well worth the effort flavor-wise. This is how I like my perique: just as the tin says, with a "touch" that gives complexity and added spiciness to the beautiful virginias w/o turning your tongue into an ashtray. The burley has a low-key role, helping to keep this hot-tending blend cooler and providing a woodiness that plays off the sweet virginias. I found this tobacco to have a very up-front, bright taste that commanded my attention throughout the bowl, whose intensity definitely increased. It is medium in body/strength, and will neither disappoint the veteran nor destroy the neophyte. The flavor seemed to open up a bit more after a trip to my newly acquired coffee grinder, but it also smoked like a champ just rolled and packed (which was perfect for DGT). My tin seemed a bit "green", and I believe it will age well up to five years--the loose packing could cause drying? Highly recommended to all Va/P lovers, and for those who like their perique to behave, well here's a very gentlemanly smoke.
