Lakelands: Let's Build A Sauce Scale
- Thread starter jaytex1969
- Start date
Mixture 79 smells like dip to me. Like copenhagen. Maybe I'm having a stroke or something, but that's what I get every time I take a whiff out of the jar.
I'll find out soon enough. I've got quite a bit to work through before I give that one a go though, haha.
Gotta throw in SG Special Flake #1 and #3.
Both are probably in the 8-9 range. SG Cannon Plug as well.

Number 7 Broken Flake and CCP unscented would be a 6. I believe the CCP aro would be pretty high up, maybe a 9?
Incidentally, this should tell you how “ unscented” the CCP Unscented is.

Just bringing the scale up to date.

It really all depends on how often you smoke Lakelands really. For instance I don’t even taste it in BB2 anymore but I do remember tasting it pretty heavily when I first started smoking it. Now I rate as one of the best VaBur Flakes on the market, it’s got this sweet and sour thing going on that is to die for. I would rate Kendal Flake at about 9. Dark Flake Scented at about 6 (it’s more floral than perfumed, if that makes sense?) I would put Grasmere and Grousmoor at 9 (at least). BCF can differ, I’ve had it be a near 7 and other times a 2 or a 1.
I’m pretty sure Hyde Park is a Gawith product too (not sure if it still is)

I like this.
I would personally put grousemoor and coniston plug (unscented) one apart, I think grousemoor at #4 and the coniston stays at 5.
I like Bobs at #2, but best brown could possibly be just a 1 for me...
See what the crowd says!

I would think so. The flakes resemble a Lakeland style in terms of size, thickness and feel when rubbing. Doesn't taste like any Pease/C&D VaPer I've had, either.
Just bringing this up to date. Based on input, Hyde Park and Stonehenge have been added as "official" Lakelands. Grousmoor has been reassigned and a few others have been added in.
If you know of any we missed or would like to contest a ranking, please speak up. Also, please review the unassigned and "honorable mentions" at the end.

Well, Embers and alaskanpiper both put Grousmoor at a 5.
Later hawky put it around a 9 (which I didn't see until now) and after that mortonbriar advocated to move it to 4, which I did see.
I've never tried it, so I'm going off of the input here.
Let's confer, my digital brethren. Grousmoor is ____.
EDIT: I guess I DID see hawy's input, as I just noticed that Grousmoor is currently a 4 AND a 9.
Floor is open for debate, those who have tried it.
