Woe, woe, woe...slow down! Cabbies mixture ROPE...have they gone mad!!!

Yes, in for several pounds of that puppy!!!

Yes you and me both! I wouldn't mind a big block of the Ennerdale Plug as well. The Gawith Plugs always taste a little bit nicer more fermented/stronger to me and you have the added bonus that they are not as wet as the flake versions, well that's been my experience anyway.
Hopefully they turn up again one day soon.

I’m very largely just joking here. Truly though, I gave Lakeland a shot years ago and hated it. I honestly don’t even recall the blend, I just remember it being one of the popular G&H blends.

That said, I’ve promised @BROBS I’ll give it another go, so he sent me an old tin of Squadron Leader. As soon as the weather changes (rain, rain, rain, wind and cold) I’m going to crack the tin on it. I’ve got a lot of new blends waiting on the weather ?

I don't really pick up on any Lakeland essences in Squaddy.. it's more of a soft Balkan. Maybe a hint of baby powder when first opened and some fruity fermentation notes, but once dry it's just top grade VA, Orientals, and Lat. Closest thing to it I've tasted is probably Balkan Sasieni or Dunhill Standard.

Similar or know fact? Sorry to de rail but I love me my cabbies...


Any I do spicy India hot, Mexican hot. The hotter the better!
If you order from Synjeco, I highly recommend both Greenodd and Holker! The ratios may(or may not) be a bit different than cabbies, but the component tobaccos and preperation are the same. If you like cabbie's, you'll love them.

And if anyone is looking for the most drier sheety, detergentish, church organist's rose petal scented perfume Lakeland out there, I recommend Grasmere Flake! It's my favorite G&H floral so far. RB plug and it's headshop patchouli goodness is my top SG. Ennerdale is great but I found the florality mild in comparison to those two. That said, it could be considered the closest thing to an all day Lakeland.

It's not if....it's when and how many poundages to make the shipping worth it!

I tried a tin of Ennerdale back in 2012. I did not care for it at all and just gave the tin away. The guy I gave it to didn't like it either so he gave it away. I have no idea if that tin found its way to someone who enjoyed it. I hope someone got it who liked it.

I don’t want to start a brawl but you Lakeland freaks should be institutionalized! ?

What is wrong with the lot of you? It’s nasty and tastes like cheap gin. It’s unfit for human consumption and there’s something profoundly wrong with everyone who likes this dreadful concoction.

Look, the whole Lakeland ‘essence’ was a joke that originated in England, just to see how far they could pull the wool over your eyes and it’s looking to me like they’ve succeeded spectacularly!

Shame on you all who’ve allowed them to get away with this absurd lark. ?

It had to be said!

Grasmere is easily the most in your face WTF thing I have ever smoked. I've never had Ennerdale but can't comprehend how anything could possibly be more "ground zero Lakeland" than Grasmere.
