I think Peterson Irish Flake is cased with a anise topping. Some say no but I can detect it. Also, McConnell Mature has anise as well.

If you enjoyed SWR, you may like Granger as well - it also has an anisette flavor. I prefer it to SWR.
As far as Lakelands, I'd recommend just going all in, as tonquin is a flavoring used in quite a few of them Grab a new cob or two and give Brown Flake Aromatic, Coniston, Sam's Flake, and Kendal Flake a try.
Puff,
You strike me as a man of fine taste. Since you also enjoy Lakelands, my curiosity is getting the better of me.

To the OP
I enjoy burley with a little something. Deer tongue adds a minty, cool, vanilla-like flavor and note. Yes, it’ll ghost. But it’s delicious and so I’ll recommend three blends which contain deer tongue, all from C&D:

Crooner
Engine 382
Gentleman Caller

Also, I know people enjoy piling on Mixture 79. It’s all in fun and most haven’t tried M79. It’s an old tyme favorite and may just be exactly what you’re seeking. Grab an ounce sample next order.
