Reiner Gold Label-Long Golden Flake

Reiner Gold Label-Long Golden Flake

This is a Va/Per/Burley blend thats comes in a long (and I mean LONG) single strip. Mostly bright virginia and some brown mixed in. the tins smells slightly sweet and fruity.
I pulled out some small pieces and packed them into a small winslow 200. The tobacco burned fairly well and not get very hot but i did get some gurgle and purged the pipe twice. This was a mild to medium blend with a toasty nutty type flavor. If there was perique it was very well hidden as I never got any pepper or raisin/fig type flavors during the smoke.
There was a slight sweetness from the virginias and the burley was somewhat tamed as compared to some of the C&D blends I have tried lately. Never got stronger but was consistent. Not really a blend that I would buy again, maybe I don't have the pallette for such a complex (?) smoke.

a change of opinion, this is starting to grow on me. the burley is not as overwhelming once i got used to it. the tobacco has dried out some which may have mellowed it out a bit as maybe the addition of air. may just get some more after all. sorry if i steered anyone wrong.

i have to concur with enyas first post....

the aromo before lighting is like a giant fresh Fig and Raisin sandwich. i didn't know there was any perique when i packed it, as it was sent to me as a sample... so, i packed it in a "VA" pipe.
little hints of perique now and then, along with a nice smokey flavor.
pretty much how he described it. sweet hints, a little light perique, and a chewy smokey flavor that i recall getting from "junkyard dawg", so it must be the burley.

very nice tobacco. :tu

edit: just got some fig flavors on the last puff.

had another heapin helpin of this awesome tobac, again compliments of enyafanjt.

i like to cut the sturdy flakes (some flakes are too flimsly, fall apart too easily) about 3/4" long, about the width of my thumb. i use a mini-leatherman tool with a scissors, and just cut cross-grain. gently rub it out, but not fully.

this stuff is very, very good. had it with some Elijah Criag and diet coke.
now chasing it down with a Paulaner Hefe Weizen... oooo, i needed that.

I have a tin in the cellar, I'm really looking forward to trying this one, thanks for posting review. It is a top seller on smokingpipes.com. The only bad thing I've heard said about this baccy is the price.
