Thanks for the compliment! It is a compliment but I am sure there are many here who understand them very well, it's just economical to just say "Lakelands"!

yes there almost certainly is but many times we see lakelands just dismissed as one flavour/taste when think of the difference between Dark Flake Scented (rose geranium)and say Grousemoor (lemongrass) or bosun (clove) 1792 (tonquin)

I just want to know who says Lakelands smell and taste like "grandma underwear"—that sounds like years of therapy to me.

those that dont appreciate them

as you can probably tell I love most of them

I say it all the time. Grandma Dorothea was a very cruel woman. She'd make us sleep in a cage under the porch. We could only come out if we put her underwear on our heads and sing "Tomorrow" from Annie and the theme from Oklahoma. Apparently, she ate a lot of Tonquin beans and they made her fairly flatulent. You can read about her here.

Anyone know how lakelands effect a Meer? I've got a hand holding a rose meer that I don't use much that seems appropriate for lakelands but I'm hesitant to commit it if it'll be irreparably haunted.

So after a month+ of using said Meer for some Ennerdale flake it hasn't noticeably ghosted and was very enjoyable. However the thing still overpoweringly smells like the Devil's Holiday I smoked in it two times six or so months ago. I guess German fruit and citrus topping is much more powerful than British lakeland!

Can it be done?
I only smoked Lakeland blend three times or so. BUT it was Ennerdale.
Pipe was new briar, so there’s no cake.
I gave it hot water treatment, and now I’m smoking OJK in it but yeah, definitely a ghost in there.

So what's the problem? ?‍

Lots of great advice. Seems to me you caught the "problem" early. I agree that smoking the pipe will gradually clear the ghost. Mind you, I don't really mind a bit of ghost but then I don't find Ennerdale off-putting. Grousemoor on the other hand ...

Well that's one way to go.
