Orlik Tobacco Company A/S Golden Mixture

I wouldn't downplay this tobacco. It does have a physical resemblance both to Mac Baren's Scottish Mixture and to Orlik's own Golden Sliced. But that's about it. Flavourwise this is a milder, and slightly sweeter version of Golden Sliced, but, in my opinion, better tasting than Mac Baren's.

It doesn't purport to be a mixture of every possible tobacco. It is essentially a golden Virginia, to which some roasted Burley and black Cavendish (though not the goopy, vanilla cased one) have been added. It actually comes rather dry in the tin and it has a nice citrus aroma. It packs easily (no need to further break apart the broken flake bits), lights immediatlely and has an excellent burning rate.

Room aroma is very Danish. It is a mild smoke, without any bite, and very flavoursome. If it has any added flavourings I honestly can't detect them. This is a very simple Virginia/Burley mixture (at times it reminds me more of Haunted Bookshop than any other tobacco), but with that very special Orlik nounce.

Nothing to write home about, but still a very noble and down to earth smoke. I would highly recommend it to beginners who want to try natural tasting tobaccos with some "sweetness", or to the established pipe smoker who seeks a change of pace on the milder side of the spectrum. Good one!
