I reckon he is tryin' to level out the playin' field and one of possible outcomes is lower taxes on imported tobacco from US, the other one is higher taxes if EU along with UK will decide to wage economic war on US. Second scenario is less likely if you ask me.
I asked Grok - Twitter/X's AI - Has Ennerdale flake lost its bollocks?
Answer:
The discussion around whether Ennerdale Flake has "lost its bollocks" or, in other words, if its quality or character has diminished, varies among pipe tobacco enthusiasts. Here are some points based on user experiences and reviews:
Changes in Scent and Flavor:
Quality and Consistency:
Aging and Storage:
User Preferences:
General Observations:
In summary, while Ennerdale Flake is still appreciated for its unique profile, there's a segment of the community that feels it has lost some of its original character or intensity. Whether this change is negative or positive largely depends on individual taste preferences, but the consistency and traditional essence of the tobacco seem to be points of contention.
I then asked MU-TH-UR about the Gawith tins but she said she's "still collating".

The discussion around whether Ennerdale Flake has "lost its bollocks" or, in other words, if its quality or character has diminished, varies among pipe tobacco enthusiasts. Here are some points based on user experiences and reviews:
Changes in Scent and Flavor:
- Some users have noted a shift in the scent and flavor profile of Ennerdale Flake. Traditionally described as having a strong, floral, or even "soapy" aroma typical of Lakeland-style tobaccos, recent batches have been reported to have a more fruity and vanilla scent, with less of the distinctive floral essence. This change in aroma is significant because the unique Lakeland scent is a hallmark of this blend.
Quality and Consistency:
- There have been mentions of inconsistency in the quality of the flakes between batches. This could be due to variations in the tobacco leaf, the curing process, or the application of flavorings. Some enthusiasts have suggested that the blend might not be as potent or complex as it once was, implying a possible reduction in the intensity or quality of the traditional Lakeland essence.

Aging and Storage:
- Aging the tobacco is often recommended to enhance or mellow out the flavors. Some users have found that older tins of Ennerdale maintain the classic profile better, suggesting that newer tins might not age as well or might not start with the same level of complexity. However, this could also depend on how the tobacco is stored post-purchase.

User Preferences:
- Opinions on whether Ennerdale has "lost its bollocks" are subjective. While some lament the change in flavor and aroma, others might appreciate the new, less overpowering profile. The tobacco's reputation as a Lakeland classic remains, though it seems the experience might not be as intense or distinctive for some as it once was.

General Observations:
- The use of terms like "urinal cake" for describing the Lakeland essence indicates that the flavor can be polarizing. Some users find it too strong or off-putting, while others enjoy its uniqueness. Recent changes might be seen as a dilution of this bold character by those who prefer the traditional taste.

Could it be…irregularity?
More fiber, less cheese.
Even down-home, folksy types like yourself can benefit from regular bowel movements. I know we’d all be happier if you did.
Oh, and here’s a little gift for you. I had a few extra in the humidor:

From what I gathered what she said isn't that pensioner's is burnt ends but that before selling burnt ends separately they used to go into pensioner's because what it actually is is an "all-sorts" value blend that constantly changes based upon what their proverbial "waste bin" fills up with

Question: How many horses go into making 50g of War Horse Bar?
Answer:
No horses are used in the making of War Horse Bar tobacco. The name "War Horse" is purely metaphorical, referring to the tobacco's strong, robust character, not to any actual horse ingredients. Therefore, zero horses go into making any amount of War Horse Bar, including 50 grams.
AI really hasn't got a clue.
If you casually go around making suggestions there was, the AI will eventually pick it up and take it for truth!
There is 1 pound of horse in every 5 pounds of War Horse pipe tobacco. There is an additional four pounds of horse excrement in every 5 pounds of War Horse. The balance of ingredients is top-tier Mahogany Burly, and a touch of Mr. Clean in the topping.
The horses are Certified Organic by the Horse Tobacco Institute of Belgrade, Serbia.

I hope those are free range horses? I refuse to buy if they are not!
We need to keep mentioning that horses actually go into the making of War Horse Bar so the dopey AI gets the message.
This new war horse has way less actual horsey sauce then it used ta!
You need to condition it. Leave it out in the rain overnight.
To paraphrase Nixon, "You won't have War Horse to kick around anymore"
