Ennerdale Flake?

[anotherbob]

Opinions? I went ahead and got two ounces of it in my emergency accessory order. My Girlfriend lost my favorite cleaners and I lost my Tamper.
Honestly I am just really happy to be trying it (even if I hate it, I'll be happy to know). Also got the old standby Five Bros, but that's just the pipe tobacco equivalent of water. Something you will die if you don't have for too long.

I like it, but it's definitely a love/hate thing, like most heavily dosed lakelands

I want to like it. It smells really good. I keep revisiting it, and everytime I do I end up dumping the bowl. I do like it in smaller doses. Good luck though!

Love the stuff,

More often then not I end up in the LOVE it camp. For me it is the widely loved ones I find meh at best. CAPSTAN for example. I figure jump on the deep end. At worst I have some emergency pipe rations.

Yeah, why the hell not. What I will say, is it definitely has an intimidating tin note. Rest assured the smoke will not taste like a bar of soap.

I really didn't care for it.

I love the stuff. Probably just me, but I found the mixture to have more flavor. I know it's just broken flake from the bottom of the pile, but it may get more surface area rolling against the flakes and picking up more of the topping. Doesn't matter, I'm hooked on the stuff.

I absolutely loved it back when you could taste mainly the sauce.
I'm not a fan of Empire leaf (I love American brightleaf), so now that the sauce has either diminished or changed such that the taste of Empire leaf is much more noticeable, I don't love it so much.
It smells the same in the pouch/tin/jar, but it does NOT carry over to the palate in the same way that it used to.

The authorities can deny all day long that this is true, but I tried old and new stuff side by side and I'm sure. And many others think the same.

I do love the sauce. If I could get it on an American brown or dark flake, I'd be in heaven.

I am a fan. I was suprised to find I really like the lakeland essence and wish it was more heavily doused, as in the stories of old. My gateway was Bosun Cut Plug. I liked that clove flavor and aroma. Ennerdale and Grousemoor I enjoy. And I am not a big (cavendish) aromatic guy. But I love some flavors on other tobaccos.

ENNERDALE IS THE REASON PIPE SMOKING WAS INVENTED!!!

Lakelands are notorious for batch variation. That is part of the charm of British workmanship. (The name that really struck fear in the hearts of certain generations of us more recent former colonials was Lucas Industries, which made the electrical parts, such as they were, commonly found in British cars).

I like Ennerdale, tastes a bit like bubblegum to me. However I find Bosun and Coniston cut plugs vastly superior.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Absolutely adore the stuff! Gawith Mahogany broken flake reminds me of a slightly toned down Ennerdale.

Lucas Prince of Darkness! I am well acquainted with that fellow having owned many mid 1930s British motorcycles.

who knows about the sauce. Even if they apply it the same if any of the supply they use changes it could effect the whole package. I guess my point being while being deceptive they might not be lying. The essences they use can have as much variety in a single scent as there are in a single variety of tobacco leaf.

it was a coin toss between Bonsun and Erenndale. But I like the name better so went that way.

I know I love the lakeland essence in nasal snuff. But nasal snuff aroma and pipe tobacco flavor are two related but not the same beasts.

Worth trying at least once to find out if you enjoy Lakelands.

If you don't like it at first let it age for a few months. The essence will fade some and you may find the flavor balance more to your liking.

I love the 6 photo snuff for that! But it makes me sneeze anymore. Slightess whiff. So no more snuff.

Great taste, harsh smoke for me.
