My Op was out of curiosity. I had been smoking some tins 2017 Ennerdale and then went barreling into the new batch and got hit with a topping reminiscent of Mick McQ Plug with the whole almond thing going on. I hadn't noticed up to this point as I had mixing the stuff with Erinmore to create Erindale so the flavor was more to my liking and offered a way of not wasting a tin of Erinmore. The twists are totally fine as I have a huge selection of brown and black and they taste the same as the day I first smoked them at the tender age of 15!

Thankfully, my favourites from both Samuel Gawith & Gawith Hoggarth & Company are the same as they have always been, nothing short of excellent. The 'Lakeland Sauce' blends or 'Floral' as I prefer to call them, have changed however. I don't think it's that they've 'toned down' the sauce, to me it's like a different sauce altogether! Somethings happened, shenanigans in the sauce department? Different source of sauce? New staff who don't know their HP from their Worcester?
@gawithhoggarth need to sort this out, that's for sure.
Ennerdale has gone from smelling & tasting like this...

Sad state of affairs, isn't it. Polish condor, no flowers in the florals! Never mind, let's smoke our Unscented blends together, listen to a song & turn our frown upside down!☹️

I love this song, but not this rendition of it. Still, thank you for posting it!
You're welcome! Out of interest, whose rendition do you prefer if you're not keen on jimmie Rodgers? I don't know if Nile Rodgers did a version of it or not. Be great if he did. Lol
