Good Stuff
August 30, 2017
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
I found Stonehenge to be very nice. It's fruity, chocolatey and mild. It could be an all day smoke or make an excellent night cap.
I had bought it to see just what all the hype was about. I wasn't disappointed .
I also got some GH&Co. Louisian... Read More

Lightly Lakeland
April 06, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
A medium sliced soft flake tobacco. Rubs out easily. Very light floral and spice to the nose. Smokes nicely with a medium Perique sharpness and no bite.
Must try lakeland

If you want to dip your toes into Lakeland blends, and enjoy a quality Virginia. This one is for you
Just not that good.

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
I was looking forward to this being a Pease lakeland, essence and all. People keep freakin' out about all the old lady perfume. How is it my tin had ZERO. None in the tin note, none in the taste, nothing. I don't think it's suppose to have the essenc... Read More
e, I think it's just a flake in the lakeland style and like all GH tobaccos SOMETIMES it gets a little misting just from being in the same room as the other stuff. Mine had nothing and as a flake it felt like an imitation of the real thing. Just kinda boring, too much burley, just bleh. I don't get the hype. There is NOTHING special about this blend, it had the stuff that's bad about lakeland and none of the good. Pass. Read Less
Superb!

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
I love this tobacco. It is rich and satisfying. There is a very pleasing chocolatiness in the smoke that lasts the entire bowl. There are some who say there is a floral Lakeland note, and I have noticed it only if I've let the tobacco get too dry pre... Read More
-smoke. Otherwise, I get none of the "floral" scent/taste (and to be clear, I have tried Ennerdale Flake, which is incredibly "Lakeland" style, and I do not like it at all). This is an excellent tobacco, very unique and highly recommended. Read Less

Sir Gregory you have done an outstanding job on this! This us great on a cob, especially ones like the Lil Devil Cutty and Acorn, or in any pipe as this medium bodied smoke is simply wonderful!
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
I make no pretensions to be an expert in the world of VaPer's since I am a predominately English lover. However, I have found this to be an excellent offering. It is to be savored for it delicate and tasty notes.
Take it for what it's worth. I think... Read More
this is an excellent smoke. I h ave the good fortune to belong to a local pipe club and we often bring various tobacco's to our meetings. I would not hesitate to put this one on the table. As for the nursing home bit, well, the only thing I can say is " NO WAY !! I seriously think that the gentlemen responsible for this blend have the ethical standards to put only their best efforts forward.I tthink they have done this admirably. Read Less
Essence of Nursing-home

This stuff is gross. Smells like it was aged open-air in a nursing home. I taste no virginia, perique, or anything else. just nasty essense of nursing-home
How could you leave Lakeland out of the Description?
June 29, 2017
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
I hate Lakeland's, and likewise, hate this blend. Old lady purse overpowers the entire blend. Yuck!
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
Be warned this has the Lakeland essence, the same note that's in Ennerdale. Like Latakia, Lakeland and Deertongue are something that should never be left out of a blend description. This is a good tobacco and even has a lovely spice that I associate ... Read More
with Tilbury and if you like Lakeland then this is the bees 🐝 knees. Personally I'm going to throw it in the cellar and forget about it because if one day my tastes change in preference to that unique English stank I'll be glad to have this on hand. Read Less
Timeless
January 15, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
Stonehenge is the first Virginia blend of GL Pease's that I've tried and it will not be my last. That said, I plan on stocking-up on this glorious flake. It's a comfort having it around. Others have said it has a Lakeland flavouring and I agree. That... Read More
flavouring is not as strong as others are making it out to be. It's just enough of that Lakeland touch to bring me back to England. It's got so much else going on, though, outside of that little reminder of a different time and place that I find myself reaching for Stonehenge whenever I feel like a good, long smoke in the garage and no matter what my mood.

A Good VA/Per/Bur With A Little Cocao
January 07, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
Easily rubbed out or folded, it smokes cool either way. Plenty of rich, creamy smoke with respectable strength. I loved the chocolate/cocoa flavor but it did not overtake the rich tobacco taste. I've never tasted anything like this before or since. I... Read More
only noticed a very slight Lakeland flavor that some have mentioned but regardless, I thought this had an alluring smoky flavor. The combination of top shelf leaf is expertly blended, smells good, burns great, smokes mild & sweet, requires minor maintenance & produces minimal moisture. The flavor remains throughout the bowl and doesn't get harsh or bitter toward the end. Drying it out pretty good will provide a better smoke and doing so won't diminish the flavor. One of the best of this genre that I've ever smoked. This blend kept me coming back for more. I suggest airing this out until the sharpness from the aroma subsides a little. Read Less
Great flake
October 03, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
It is burley heavy. It reminds me of the Epiphany blend. The room note is quite pleasing and it smokes nicely out of your designated burly briar.
A great blend

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
This is a great tobacco. The Lakeland essence is very minor and adds a unique taste. Give it a try.
Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
This a tobacco I really enjoy from time to time. I keep it around for when I want something a little different.

I first tried Stonehenge Flake awhile back and fell in love with it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, G.L. Pease is the man. He has so many great blends, but this stuff is truly amazing. I have always considered myself as English guy with a... Read More
taste for VaPer. This tobacco made me seriously question whether I might be a VaPer guy with a taste for English. That said, I still haven’t tried a VaPer blend I like as much as Stonehenge Flake. It is just so perfectly balanced, consisting of high quality tobaccos from Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Malawi with a subtle cocoa casing that lingers in background. It’s smooth and cool burning with a touch of sweetness from the Virginias, that wonderful cooked fruit, peppery essence from the St. James Perique, and the dash of excellent Malawi Burley adds body and a creamy mouthfeel. As I mentioned earlier, I tried it awhile ago and I wanted to write a review right then, but I decided to wait until I could get my hands on 5 more tins. Now it’s out of stock. Hopefully, not for long because I will be buying more. Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz

ing I am use to. Some bowls checked all the boxes for me and others left me severely disappointed. I was not disappointed because the blend was inconsistent, rather it is the essence on the blend was a major turn off. This blend probably deserves a higher rating but I just can't do it. Read Less
Didn't like at first but after 3 months open....

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz
Ok when this first hit the shelves told myself I had to try it. So i purchased a tin and my tobacconist and myself had a bowl together. We both agreed it was not worthy of our time. So me being me i said, I'll let it stay open in the tin for 2-3 mont... Read More
hs and revisit. I even tried a week later and hated it. The lakeland was in your face and the coco puffs just exacerbated the lakeland taste. and had a mild bite to it. So I left it alone. I said i will revisit it in the cooler weather.
Smoked it after being in the closet for 3 months and i'm amazed at how linear it has become. It is amazing now. The lakeland has toned down immensely and so has the coco taste. it has a bold smoothness to it if that makes sense and all the flavors enhance the tobacco. The burn is slow and even. I split the flakes in halk and gave a light rub to keep the flake more intact. Consistent flavor that just kept getting better down the bowl and burned down with a few nominal relights to a small puck at the bottom. Now i will have to buy more and keep going. The taste is addicting indeed. Oh and no mouth bite at all. None. smoked two bowls back to back with no bite and no wierd after taste. A classic. Thank you Mr.Peace. Read Less

This blend really sold me on the complexity of a good Lakeland essence blend. The tin note is a rich, yeasty, bread aroma. Smoking it, however, it became something quite special. The Lakeland essence comes forward and the bread smells turned into a d... Read More

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz

Not Worth It

Product: G. L. Pease Stonehenge Flake 2oz

Normally, I stick to straight burley codger and Latakia/Oriental blends. There's a couple of Virginia/Perique flakes I like. Chiefly Comoy's Cask No. 4 and Stokkebye's Luxury Navy. I'm not sure exactly what made me curious about this, but now that I'... Read More
ve got it and have been smoking it some, I'm tempted to say it might have been divine intervention, or inspiration. Ever now and then, you find a smoke that opens up a whole new dimension and this is one of those smokes. It's almost like Stonehenge is a portal to another world. ;-) Read Less

ht save yourself some embarrassment by spewing out meaningless blather about a fine pipe tobacco. First of all, to think this would not have some of the Lakeland essence when John Gawith had a hand in it shows a severe lack of discernment. That is what Gawith pipe tobacco is all about, the wonderful Lakeland floral essence. I agree with Joshua L. that the Lakeland essence is hardly even noticeable, if at all. It was done with a very light hand. So children, if you don't like this, you sure better stay away from most all Gawith tobacco! To say this smells like a nursing home is insane! What I get from the tin note is wonderful chocolate floral hay like notes. It is beautiful pipe tobacco, don't let these inexperienced newbies drive you away from it. It's great stuff from the minds of two master blenders and is reserved for pipers who appreciate the finer things in the vast and glorious world of pipe tobacco!

I'm not sure where people are getting the Lakeland essence, flavor, or aroma from. It's a very mild VaPer with delicate nuances that I find to be delightful.
