Non-Lakeland Lakelands/Floral Blends

[Chasing Embers]

Be aware, deer tongue is a blood thinner,

Coudamin is, coumarin isn't. Deertongue is fine.

Peterson Hyde Park?

Non GH/SG products that scratch the floral Lakeland itch for me are: Irish made Condor (I've not had the Polish made); Mixture 79 and clones; and House of Windsor Field & Stream.

The Mixture 79 clones that I know of are Peretti No Name and Uhle 255. I like Peretti No Name better than 79 as I think Peretti uses higher quality the base tobacco. Uhle 255 is maybe less a clone and mor elike in the same genre; it's less topped than 79 or No Name but the burley is very fine.

HOW Field & Stream is no more. Unfortunately, the Sutliff Match is not very floral.

Present day St. Bruno is very, very light in the floral department. If Ennerdale is 10 on the floral scale, St. Bruno is 0.1. Erinmore is not floral in the least.

HU Sissinghurst is said to be in the "English floral style."

If anyone has Warrior or old St. Bruno to sell, please let me know!

i wish I could get my hands on some ennerdale. Its polarity in popularity appeals to me strongly.

C&D Crooner is a burley blend with deer tongue. I haven't tried it, but some have recommended it. Be aware, deer tongue is a blood thinner, so don't smoke it if you take blood thinners for health reasons.

I have a tin of it waiting. Currently smoking through one of Gentlemen Caller, and I do enjoy the lightness of the deertongue

Pineapple and bus exhaust is a master stroke of language arts.

Dan Liberty and Elwood no2 are both very perfumy

Stonehenge, and maybe Hyde Park (I don't remember the latter as well).

I have always seen that one described as fruity, but I will have to try it. I see that the tins are quite affordable online.

I bet that u will like it!

HU Moroccan Bazaar has some Jasmine flower notes that are divine

Just looked this blend up for the first time and it sounds amazing. Do all of the spices and toppings really come through? Is this something I can get in the US?

Esterval’s in Germany has it, and ships to the US, but it’s kind of a crap shoot. Some shipments have been turned back to Germany, for some reason, but I’m not completely sure what’s up with that, or what the current status on all of that is.
But yeah, it’s a great blend. The warm spices are kind of in the background, with the jasmine and vanilla being slightly more prominent, but the tobacco being in the forefront.
Closest domestic blend that I have found so far is C&D Sun Bear, a yearly limited release. It’s not exactly the same, but they share some similarities.

Picked up a few tins of that, guess it's time to crack one open!

I just fired up some Coniston Cut Plug and read the thread concerning Ennerdale. I've enjoyed the Lakelands I've tried so far and I realize that I've only scratched the surface. For the sake of myself and other "saucy" smokers, let's build a comprehensive list of all things Lakeland and try to...

And for my 2 cents, I would just be patient and get the lakeland's even if it takes a while to get it, they make such delicious blends if it is floral you are after.
