Paul Olsen Vintage Flake
(3.75)
Vintage Flake. Longer aged than No. 45. A medium Virginia flake with a nice and sweet natural taste. One could call it the brother to No. 45 but this one is aged for a longer period of time. Some even call this Orlik Golden Sliced Deluxe.

Paul Olson's My Own Blend series, sold out of the danish pipe shop, are worth trying to find. DarK Pearl, Big Coin, and especially Old School are just as good as it gets, honestly. Vintage flake has been compared to Orlik slices, but its better than that. It is certainly a more natural smoke. The added sugar is very mild, and not noticeable, really. What you get is a light Virginia flake that reminds me a bit of Dan Tobacco's Patriot Flake. It is not unlike the lighter Capstan, too. Not the heavier blue label. It is a great smooth Virginia, an all day uncomplicated smoke. Nothing remarkable but very satisfying if this is what you feel like. Might bear comparison to Sutliff Virginia slices too. Good stuff.
