A blend not on this list is H+G's Rich Dark Honeydew. It was created to be what Gallaher's original sweet dark honey dew was... While I never tried it, Pipestud gives a good review of both... It's only been available at Mars Cigars and (I can't remember the other place). It's not cheap.
This is truly a stronger Lakeland... but by no means harsh... it's exquisite... and I try always to have 3-4 ounces on hand.
If you like Lakeland blends and haven't tried this one, it should be #1 on your list.
Another blend not mentioned but should be is: Peretti's Original Blend. I have often been directed to it... I bought a BIG tin and I enjoy it a lot -
I have tried the others mentioned except Condor, Peterson, Revor Plug and Tsuge.
Funny thing is... I found this thread because I am trying to be more conscious of not starting repetitive threads... I wanted to ask the same question...
I want to find something more like Rich Dark Honeydew, where the Lakeland nails you... but nothing quite compares... I've tried all of the H+G blends... and best brown #2, Kendall, Bob's and Ennerdale contain components, they aren't what I imagined Gallaher's to be...
Is there anything else out there, not by H+G or SG that will hit me with strong lakeland?
