Orlik Golden Sliced: Perique Vs. No Perique

CharleneSTGLaneLTD · May 2016

The long debate has finally made its way here! Do you think OGS really has Perique or is it Burley?

PappyJoe · May 2016

Depends on the source for your Perique.

jpbearit · May 2016

if it is there... I can't taste it.

Ccdeere · May 2016

Didn't note the Perique. If it's there it's subtle.

Emari32 · June 2016

According to the latest STG listing,pressed Virginia,toasted Burley and Black Cavendish. Whatever they use it's damn good

JohnLawitzke · June 2016

Don't know where you're getting your info @Emari32. You can look at OGS and easily tell that there is no Black Cavendish in it. There is also no Burley. My mouth is oversensitive to Burley; there's definitely none there.

OGS is simply Virginia, Perique, and a citrusy top note. I accept the official statements from Orlik(STG) that the original use of the word Burley and not Perique on early tins of OGS was a typo.

If you don't believe there is Perique, simply pull apart the flakes and separate out the black bits into a pile and smoke just those.

piperdave · June 2016

@johnlawitzke I have never thought of doing that. I wonder how that would smoke just the black bits from the flake? Have you ever tried it? I really enjoy OGS but it never occurred to me to separate it out HMMMM. I might have to just try it.

I definitely taste and feel the perique.

CerebusPullo · June 2016

I'm going to say that I feel like Perique is in the blend. You can taste the spiciness of the perique it's definitely not a burley flavor.

mgvsquared · June 2016

A fresh tin smells like orange juice, so I'm going to go with that.

luckyguy · June 2016

I don't taste the perique but I don't taste it in Escudo either, which is quite ok with me. Anybody try Astley's 109? I prefer to OGS.

IronMike · June 2016

IF it has perique it is like a salt shakers worth.

AaronInFortMill · July 2016

If it does.....like the others say a smidge.

PipeProfessor · July 2016

I never tried it, I guess I'll have to get a tin!

drfrankenstein56 · July 2016

I would agree it has the perique, hard to sense in a pipe, but roll some up in a cigarette and you know its there.

PipeProfessor · July 2016

I'm gonna try some on Thursday, I'll try to chime in then!

piperdave · January 2019

Still hard to tell that it is there. I think a bit more hands on research is needed.

TaylorJDutton · January 2019

While they may say there is none, i have always tasted perique

motie2 · January 2019

Put <<Is there perique in Orlik Golden Sliced pipe tobacco>> into Google:

From the tin: "This blend is composed of golden Virginia tobaccos with a touch of Perique. A fine natural sweetness in both taste and aroma characterizes Orlik Golden Sliced. The cut is a traditional Navy Cut Flake i.e. pressed and cut into thin slices. Rub the tobacco slices gently before filling your pipe."Sep 27, 2014

Commencing research this weekend!

jfreedy · January 2019

I’m voting that is does indeed have some. I love straight Virginias, and I don’t care for OGS. I can taste that peppery flavor that I dislike about Perique.

Leonard · January 2019

Debating whether I should answer this or just let the debate rage on...

motie2 · January 2019

What part of <<"This blend is composed of golden Virginia tobaccos with a touch of Perique. >> don't y'all get?

JohnAZ · January 2019

Who cares, just smoke it.

motie2 · January 2019

That's the spirit!!!!!!
