Hyde Park...Yeah or Nah?

[Ahi Ka]

Anyone familiar with this Peterson’s blend? How does it fare compared to say st Bruno or other GH stuff?

Cheers

I like it. Very similar to GH Rum Flake (Jamaican Flake in UK) with a bit less Rum and more Maple. Flavor's a bit heavier than Bruno.

One of my favorites! Has a slight essence of Lakeland to it.

What Rushx said...It's like ready-rubbed Rum Flake to me. Really good stuff, as I particularly like Rum Flake.

Spot on IMO. There are reports that GH is no longer manufacturing it, and my tins are a couple years old, so I'm not 100% sure if I've had the current version. The one I've had is a very nice, sweet and satisfying smoke.

IT TASTES GOOD BUT I FOUND IT HAD TOO MUCH NIC BECAUSE I’M A PUSSY

Yay! Had a bowl of Hyde Park just yesterday, very good stuff. It has a very light Lakeland Essence that would be great for someone unfamiliar with this genre of Tobacco or even someone that doesn't usually care for "soapy Lakelands" as it is light and adds a little something to the flavor.

I liked it. I've only smoked one tin, but I remember enjoying the maple flavoring on top of the nutty burleys. Just a heads up: there was definitely some lakeland essence in there, which doesn't sit well with some palates.
