Sauce Is Boss!
February 26, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. #7 Broken Flake Bulk
Effervescent is the word that keeps popping up in my head while smoking this blend, something in the flavoring makes it taste bubbly to me. I love it and I'll be cellaring this one DEEP, along with the other Lakeland blends I love. This one is refres... Read More
hing, it works well in the warmer weather especially in humid climates but it helps keep ya warm in the winter too. This is said to be the exact opposite of Coniston Cut Plug and I certainly can't argue with that statement. I love CCP but that one is more of an "every now and then" type smoke whereas this one is more like a daily smoke but it is still no weakling either as I don't think anything from GH&Co. is. I would say the nicotine level would fall in the medium spectrum. Those folks know how to make masculine blends with just a touch of femininity and the femininity in this case happens to be the floral notes added in the top dressing. I love, love, love tobaccos that have floral notes in them as it seems to work with the tobacco as apposed to completely drowning out the natural flavors. Most folks that say they only get perfume from these scented tobaccos probably haven't gotten passed the first couple of puffs as anyone who has smoked a whole lot of this stuff knows that the tobaccos really open up and bloom and the added scent becomes a nuance that helps keep the leaf interesting. I think our friends out in the Lake District are absolute genius blenders and are some of the great artists of our time and times passed.

Floral Soap atop a Quality Virginia & Burley
December 09, 2019
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. #7 Broken Flake Bulk
Medium Body, medium/full flavor, mild/medium nicotine. If you enjoy spraying your tobacco with perfume and dousing it with soap, I think you’ll enjoy this. Sorry to be so blunt, but why ruin an obviously beautiful VA/BUR flake with floral oils? Th... Read More
e Lakeland Essence (soapy perfume), doesn’t flash off and the taste remains consistent to the end – slightly sublimating the quality of leaf. Under the oils, I detect a fermented and tangy VA, while the Burley is mouth-filling and drying, the kind of dry akin to eating pecans or walnuts. It WILL ghost your pipe, and the broken flake will require drying or you’ll spend some time relighting quite a bit. One star as the VA and Burley are of good quality, for that split second you taste it at first light. Read Less
ART PIPE TOBACCO
May 14, 2015
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. #7 Broken Flake Bulk
Adjunto una opinión de uno de los grandes expertos Europeos en tabaco de pipa.
GH's Description:
This is virtually a blend reversal of Coniston Cut Plug with 75% Flue-cured Virginia. 16 % dark fired 9% Burley. The blend therefore has far milder ch... Read More
aracteristics; and is rounded off with the addition of typical English flavours, and a touch of vanilla.
Comment:
This has been a revelation to me. I smoked my first bowlful, and the next day, and about 6 bowlfuls later, I realized I had not been smoking anything else, which is quite unusual. It quickly became a favorite of mine, and it now competes with Glengarry; the most notable advantage it has over Glengarry is that its room aroma is a whole lot more pleasant. Don't let the vanilla turn you off; the smell of the tobacco reveals no vanilla, and when you smoke it, you get a VERY suble vanilla taste that complements the taste of the ingredient tobaccos to perfection. It's definitely an all-day smoke, and it will be this one I grab when I intend to smoke in the company of non-smokers and in public places (when it is possible). I highly recommend it to those who smoke flavored tobaccos, as well as those who prefer natural ones. I expect it will be greatly enjoyed by all. Read Less
A Perfect Lakeland Blend
November 15, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. #7 Broken Flake Bulk
This is an amazing blend that made it to the top of my list of beloved tobaccos. It burns cool and dry and leaves fine ash at the end of the bowl. A few words of caution - This tobacco has a strong floral aroma to the end of the bowl and will ghost ... Read More
your pipe. I usually smoke it in a Meerschaum or a Corncob pipe. The taste is sweet, fruity, floral, citrusy, a bit spicy and delightful. Recommended if you are a Lakeland lover like me. Enjoy! Read Less

Sometimes people say English blends have an incense aroma, and it does sometimes, but this one actually smells like an incense stick, like what wafts about at Venice Beach or a new age book store. I like the smell there, and I like it here too. It's... Read More

It is simple and straight foward. Very enjoyable. Can even create a Blakemar Blend by mixing with Erinmore.
호불호분명갈리는연초

팩을 열자마자올라오는 후로랄향같은 비누향또는 대중목욕탕에있는 남자스킨향이 훅하니올라온다 연초소개글에보면 아로마계열이라고 나온다 벌리와 버지니아인데 아로마계열?? 무척궁금했으나 향을 맡자마자 바로이해된다 불을 붙여올라오는향은 그다지 스킨향또는 후로랄향은 느끼자못한다 다만 입안의 맛은 분명 그향의 전체베이스에서30%정도만 느껴진다 벌리와버지니아의조합인데 꽤나 끝맛이 매콤하다 마치 페릭의 풀베이스인듯하다 인공적인 맛과 자연의 맛이 공존하... Read More

Lakeland fans..
January 12, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. #7 Broken Flake Bulk
Got a bit of this to revisit the G.H. Lakeland essence..as I remember,this one is a bit stronger in the floral,some say soap-like,rose and other floral flavors,especially at the beginning of the bowl..the VA and Burleys in this are evident too,at abo... Read More
ut halfway through they show up in the smoke fairly bold in strength...this is a slow sipper and demands a correct cadence for best effect.The nic in this is medium to me..I'd call this a blend for more experienced pipers. Glad to have a bit to cellar away for a while. Read Less
Pleasant Lakeland
July 14, 2020
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. #7 Broken Flake Bulk
Lakeland-style tobaccos: They're not for everybody. I'm a fan of the Lakelands, myself and I've liked just about everything that GH & Co. produces. This has become one of my favorites. No. 7 is comprosed of some fine Virginias and Burleys and the... Read More
essence that is applied is restrained, but definitely present. I don't get a lot of Vanilla flavor, but I do get all of the floral notes, but that's not what this blend is really about, I think. This blend is about some top quality tobaccos and a little something extra.
It's not a perfume explosion like Ennerdale, but definitely a GH tobacco. The Lakeland essence, while quite noticeable at first, begins to fade into the background after about the 1/4 bowl mark at which point, they come in and out of the smoking experience. Like the previous reviewer, I would have preferred just a bit more of the Lakeland flavor, but it is still an excellent smoke. If you like Lakeland tobaccos, this should definitely be on the top of your list. Read Less
