It gets gooooood
I’ve got some 2015 and it’s the tits.

I've recently put some in the cellar for long term aging, only 5 years to go! ??

Another thing I didn't mention is when I cellared the 2 year old stuff I pressed as much as I could into a 125ml mason jar. Whether that makes much difference I don't know.

People often comment that Ennerdale has a strong casing/topping but I'd love them to do an extra strength version, if they made it a plug as well I'd be in Heaven!

We need to plan a raid on one of the other crews to assert our dominance as the best crew. Paisley Boys, PREPARE FOR GLORY! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Lakeland, and you are already dead!

Yes the Black Frigate crew have had it their own way for far too long! There's a new sheriff in town! Who just happens to smell of urinal cakes & granny's perfume ?

@chasingembers is correct about the 'fruit' thing. He also gets the Sunday prize for figuring out how to write the name of a yellow fruit without some weird looking emoji thing popping up instead. If it isn't Rose Geranium and you don't breed ferrets and wear a battered tweed jacket with a flat cap it isn't real 'Up North' tobacco. Here are a group of Lakeland smokers on holiday!


The video is over-the-top humor, bloody marvelous!

I jumped on the Ennerdale bandwagon years ago. As someone who enjoys aromatic pipe tobaccos, I consider the Lakelands some of the ultimate aromatics. And the underlying tobaccos are terrific!

Lakelands are a class of their own.

Edit: as someone who's lived in the UK for a decade, and loves it from John o'Groats to Land's End, and has seen the Yorkshire Airlines vid many years ago I need to put a +1 to quality English humour!

It’s what everyone calls it here.

same with the sodas and scratchers here. Worst is getting in line at a gas station behind some ass who wants to peruse the scratcher offerings and make informed selections about how they are throwing their money away.

We have them here too. They have a "system" they think will one day let them win the lottery. As a tax paying citizen there nothing more satisfying than seeing someone pay $40 for their groceries with a food stamp credit card and then pull out a wad of cash and pay $50 for lottery tickets.

Hope is what keeps people going going. Even false hope. For some, without hope, we might as well be dead.
