Olfactory memories. I think that our different backgrounds, heritage, culture, and experiences affects what we associate smells with. It’s neat that we all like different things, sometimes boggling. And, it gives us different things to think about.

This has always been the most interesting part about smoking a pipe to me. The olfactory senses are linked so closely to your memory, so smoking a pipe can feel just like going down memory lane!
I can definitely see how people can dislike Lakeland blends, most people don't want to stuff Granny's perfume in their pipe. It's funny that something as simple as being gifted a new candy as a kid can lead to having an affinity for heavily perfumed tobacco.
I used to love this Violet candies. Can’t remember the name but super tasty. Would make a good topping. Lavender probably too.
Candied ginger is another old time favorite!?
I was looking for lavender tobacco not too long ago. I love Earl Gray with lavender.
Good for a stomach ache as well! Are there any good ginger flavored blends out there?
Ken Byron has Anne Cap but it is mildly scented, not really flavored. Not really sure about others.
Bergamot and lavender sounds like a great topping for tobacco.
How is Sixpence? I've heard there is some controversy about what the topping is, but I guess that's to be expected in a thread about Lakeland's.
Nothing Lakeland about Sixpence. It's a Virginia/Perique blend with Kentucky Dark Fired and a ginger topping. Stonehenge is Pease's Lakeland collaboration.?
My bad, I wasn't trying to imply it was. Just saying it seemed there was some ambiguity about what it was flavored with. I've heard some say alcohol? I guess the best thing to do is try a tin!
Seems like there may be some absinthe in there.I've heard some say alcohol?
Had my first bowl of kendal flake last night. Might have let it dry out too much as i didnt get as much sauce as ive read about. But the bowl was still awesome.
