I tried this blend after becoming acquainted with Orlik's Golden Sliced. This, I'm afraid, did not bode well for Caledonian 499. The flakes resemble each other somewhat in appearance, but are markedly different in the pipe. Caledonian 499 is hotter, harsher, and stronger than Orlik's venerable favourite. If it's a Virginia flake that I crave, I'll look elsewhere. This is a good tobacco, well worth a try, but better tobaccos can be found quite easily.

An interesting flake tobacco . I need to take care with this one and not let it get too hot . It's a bit sweet , in a tobacco kind of way . Worth a try for sure .
