Will do I've like every C&D I've had so far.
I wish we could get to see people's faces when they smoke a Lakeland for the first time.
The floral I think of as a part of the natural cigar notes... isn't exactly even close to the grandma's decorative soap smells of floral that lakelands have. Ennerdale is ok... but still in the old lady perfume range.

I have to try a Lakeland but thats one Im scared of the way people talk about it. It might be the floral punch I'm looking for, but Im smoking it in a cob. Even if I like it I'll prob only smoke it in a cob as to not taint my Briars incase I divorce it later.
For a few years after I first tried one, I couldn't get the look of disgust off of my face just thinking of it. What man wants to smoke women's perfumes?
Then, after trying some of the hardcore "kick your ass" blends, like Dark Flake unscented and some of the pigtail coin blends... they grew on me. They take on a cosmopolitan taste. I still am not a fan of too much rose geranium. It's just too much grandma for me.
Since reducing the Lakeland topping over the past few years, it's not as powerful as the old threads talk about it anymore. You may enjoy it.
I'm just getting a little Grousemoor "light" out of the 140th, which I like and not floral to me, but that's me, so both of those might be candidates as suggested above.
Lot of great suggestions but the one that keeps popping up is definitely the one I gotta try,....Gawith. Thanks!
To me, Ennerdale is a great introduction to Lakeland blends. I don’t LOVE the scenting, but I do enjoy it in small doses. For that, Ennerdale and the slightly heavier Kendal Cream Flake are my go-tos.
For natural floral qualities, though, I think you either need Syrian latakia, which has delicate, sweet floral qualities unlike its Cypriot cousin, or a blend featuring specific orientals, such as Drama and Basma. Unfortunately, in my experience, Syrian that has aged will have lost the floral delicacy of its youth…and Syrian hasn’t been farmed for many years at this point, so aged is all you’ll be able to get. (I don’t know how much age is too much, if you’re wanting a floral Syrian. I can just tell you that I’m currently smoking a 2008 tin that featured Syrian, and the blend’s personality has changed dramatically. To my palate, the Syrian is now indistinguishable from Cypriot latakia.)
Has a floral/perfume like aroma, more Lakelanish. The taste is different though.
Extra crispy is the only way to KFC. I bet @TheIronMonkey has a sample tin.
Never. Memaw's were even better. Maybe that's why I like the Lakelands. Good memories of great women.
It has a major floral note. It is, however, a burley base. Peretti ofiginal is similar. Come to think of it Peretti Thanksgiving Day , while mostly burley, may well be the epitome of fruit and floral.
I've smoked No Name and your suspicions are correct. Very floral. I believe their "Original Mixture" has the same floral topping, but applied more lightly, though I haven't gotten around to trying that one yet.
I realized that shortly after my post but couldn't edit it lol. Occasionally I've had a cigar (natural not infused or flavored) that had a slight floral note for a moment usually short lived. I want more of that but maybe not like youre thinking. I also liked the KFC cigar its smokey but Latakia is off the charts smokey I love Latakia. Even though I don't smoke infused or flavored cigars I'm fine with an aro blast of perfume or cologne flowers to the face pipe tobacco. And the reason I don't smoke infused cigars is they usually have an artificial sugar tip that I hate, and the flavor is chemically. With pipes though Ill smoke everything I don't care if its aro or natural topped doesnt matter. I want a blast to the face of cologne. At least I think I do lol, heard horror stories about these kind of pipe blends. I may regret this lol I already plan to smoke it in a cob lol. Descripted as I can be. lolFloral isn’t very descriptive, there are a lot of various leaf/blends with floral notes, it really depends on what sort of floral you’re looking for.
As example, there is Lakeland floral, VA/VaPer floral, Orientals floral, Aromatic florals, etc...
Try to be more specific.
As for Cigar floral notes, maybe consider one of the Tabac Manil.
