Lakeland Dark, A Brief Review

[saltedplug]

I smoked a lot of 1792. No "Lakeland."

You might consider that Lakelands have been highly mythologized/demonized by forums in a kind of group hysteria that results in pages of pejoration; in a word, bashing. Everyone is entitled to his opinion, but to steer clear of a class of tobaccos based on the caprice of forums, a great but flawed source of information, precludes the one thing upon which one can make a determination: smoking the tobacco oneself.

All hail the Ennerdale.

I tried it once but detested the burnt rubber taste. To the back of the drawer it went, hoping it might one day crawl away and make its home in someone else's cellar!

I didn't like the flavor at all. GH Dark Flake u/s is my go to in this category.

You should seek out their Westmorland Slices, a truly gorgeous smoke.

Once in a while, every 4-5 years or so, I get to make a trip to Scotland. There is a nice pipe and tobacco shop in Leith, seawards of Edinburgh. I've been there once, buying stuff, but not really knowing what to choose. Next time I'll focus on G&H and other british stuff that is otherwise unavailable to me.

Workman, they do seem to have a vast array of pipes & tobacco for sale......cigars too! Hope you enjoy your visit whenever it happens.

The Pipe Shop | Specialist Tobacconist Est. 1957 in Edinburgh.

Established in 1957, The Pipe Shop Ltd continues to provide traditional tobacconist services from the tobacco shop located in Edinburgh, Scotland.

But if they steer clear there are more Lakeland’s for me to buy I love this blend. Good write up.
