Lakeland

[aro222]

Bobs chocolate flake is fairly strong as well with just a hint of sweetness on the back end

Very subtle and very nice

curious of what that full essence taste like

Yeah, same here and I was a little shocked at the first light. I got a very strong women’s perfume taste. Still trying to get used to it.

I was very lucky to get to try a sublime blend for my first go with Lakeland essence. I now love the stuff.

I posted somewhere on another topic a link stating that gawith hoggarth/sam gawith blends were now being imported to USA by a different company so may be that is why they have been hard to get.

Certainly no shortage in the uk

I've yet to try a single "Lakeland". Are there any that taste/smell strongly of jasmine? I'd be all over that.

 

[skeeter456]

has anyone tried the lakeland dark by SG? I am really tempted to get my hands on some.

I tried the Lakeland Dark and was a bit underwhelmed. It's good tobacco but I was looking for something with more of the Lakeland essence. As a dark tobacco it was in line with other SG or G&H offerings but the name led me to expect more scenting than was actually present. G&H Dark Flake Scented was exactly what I expected however, and I liked it much better.

There has been a GH&Co. awakening on the forums lately. I frequent several forums and all everyone is talking about is Lakeland this Lakeland that. They’ve only been around for a couple of hundred years but I’m glad to see people (in America at least) are finally coming around to them. I don’t really consider 1792 Flake to be a Lakeland in the sense that it has floral toppings as Tonka doesn’t come off that way to me, tastes more like Vanilla or deer tongue to me than flowers... that being said it is in my top 5 favorite blends of all time, it’s absolutely stellar! But like a lot of good blends it took me a long time before I truly appreciated its splendor. I miss the days when GH&Co blends were basically always available and even SG blends were relatively easy to get but, like Embers, I had a feeling this day would come so I stocked up on my favorites years ago.

I discovered Ennerdale after buying an estate pipe with a definitely soapy ghost. Rather than try to exorcise it, I said 'the heck with it' and dedicated it to Lakelands. I smoked my first bowl of Ennerdale in that pipe & instantly became a fan.

I just ordered some Kendal Flake. I'm looking forward to trying it. So far the Lakelands I've tried have been enjoyable. I kind of like the lingering ghost from them also, and could see how smoking some other blends over it might be good too.

I enjoy Ennerdale and Bob's Chocolate Flake, but the Bob's Chocolate is pretty subtle so far. It's still new to me. I've got some Kendal flake and some Dark flake I haven't tried yet. I'm wondering if I need a different pipe for each one or if they can just ghost the same pipe. Maybe that would produce something interesting....

Will someone please describe their [Lakeland's] flavor

It's been described as something between old Aunt Millie's perfume and a urinal cake; but there are some scents that are less antiseptic and more delicate, like florals (violet, geranium, heliotrope) and herbals (bergamot, anise). Either way, they're exotic, and not for every tobacco smoker.
