Then apparently they are being light handed with the application of said sauce.

I am just stating what she said. No changes whatsoever. Maybe Lakeland lovers can ask for a side order of "sauce."
Was not dismissing your comment at all, just providing a compatible explanation of how we got where we are
Yup, there's been a crapload of complaints for sure and I opt to take the word of experienced pipe smokers over what's been stated by GH. Something seems fishy.
Is that one still obtainable there? That stuff is heavily scented. I don’t smoke it much but I do enjoy it from time to time… I was gifted a tin but I’ve not seen it available in the US market since I’ve been smoking a pipe.
It got lighter yet again? I was referring to the ~2017 changes. The last time I picked up a haul was in 2019 when I joined the forum and that already much lighter that my 2015/16 hauls.
Oh yeah, the Ennerdale and other Lakeland blends that I and others have gotten since Autumn of last year forward may as well not even be topped for being so lightly flavored. The era of the pipe ghosting florals is over.
Maybe the price for good used Granny panties to soak in a bowl to make the sauce has gone up?
I have smoked close to half a pound of recent Ennerdale in my Albertson and it has not ghosted. Hell, it doesn't even smell of Lakeland. I could smoke straight Virginia in it and not get a hint of ghost.
There is no mistaking my Exotic Passion pipe though. That stuff can ghost a pipe.
Online comments like that are probably more what swayed their decision. Thinking they could reach more smokers with less flavoring.Maybe the price for good used Granny panties to soak in a bowl to make the sauce has gone up?
This is a shame...

This was my suspicion as well. I figured those lakeland blends of old were so polarizing that they'd figure this is better for business; which it probably is. Just a shame for us that enjoyed the old panties taste, lucky I stocked up a little bit extra every haul.
@sandollars
I wasn't making a joke. Dwindling amounts of older more flavored Gawith blends actually has me debating giving up smoking.

Maybe just address them personally. It seems like a real problem and GH seems like a stand up professional outfit. "Squeaky wheels."
I would imagine that there's not a post about Lakelands (Which I like the lighter versions much better) that someone doesn't put up a warning that it will ghost your pipe, played the biggest factor in them lightening up the sauce. If they indeed did so
I'm laughing here envisioning a bowl filled with water, tobacco and granny panties. smh.
That's such a shame. I love the Lakeland casings. Needless to say that's what made them unique along with the great quality leaf.
I guess I will hang on as long as possible to those tins I purchased in 2014 & 2015 and open them only on very special occasions.
