I bought an estate pipe a couple of years ago that had obviously been used for smoking Lakeland blends. The pipe even smelled after a good alcohol cleaning, so I was hesitant to smoke it. Well, I finally decided to smoke away the ghosts and have been pleasantly surprised. The pipe gave a very nice smoke with a faint essence of Lakeland when I smoked it with a Virginia blend. The smoke was not bad at all and honestly I really enjoyed the occasional floral flavor that came and went as I smoked. I do like some of the lighter Lakeland blends and found that this ghost was definitely friendly. Honestly I will miss it when it is fully gone.
