Wonderful--great replacement for Kendal Flake

I was very sad when G and H discontinued Kendal Flake. However, I had always heard of this as a mythical, floral tobacco that rarely came to this side of the pond. When it became available, I pounced on it, and it is divine! Many of the same floral notes I love in Kendal Flake and with a pronounced sweetness. This may be my new favorite Lakeland!...Read More
My favorite pipe tobacco.

This, and Kendal Flake coming in a close second, are my all time favorites. I am glad to see this back, as there is no other tobacco quite like this. I love Bosun Cut Plug and Bosun Plug also, and anything lakeland. Bosun has the rose and clove, making it the most cologne like smoke in the lineup, and Kendal, my second favorite, is very floral also, but Grasmere edges it out by the stronger rose and stronger nicotine. Ennerdale tastes like almond lotion smells, and is very good also. But Grasmere is special. It is very, very rosy, with a sneaky nicotine wallop that creeps up on you. It has been described as "an iron fist in a velvet glove," and this tobacco fits that description better than any other. I have smoked more than my fair share of Dark Plug, and Dark Flake Scented also. Not at that level of nicotine by any means, but it still sneaks up on you. I went from aromatics, to vapers, to English blends, then lakelands, and finally found my favorite in Grasmere. I still smoke all types of tobacco, but this one is my favorite, and I never tire of it. It isn't for everyone but this is the be all end all of lakeland flakes in my book. While not as smooth as Kendal, which is the easiest tobacco in the world on the tongue, it has a better taste and nicotine punch. Now if we can only get Gawith & Hoggarth to start making their Almond snuff again, which has both almond and violet in balance and strong in all categories. I only have a few pounds left of that treasure....Read More
Very surprised

The tin note is really like grandmas "only for guests" floral soap bars. The actual smoke is a very rich and balanced creamy (not super aromatic) smoke. I was surprised how fantastic it is. Virginias and burley married superbly.
A aromatic that delivers

Ordered 1 oz of this and I love the long folded flakes. You undoubtedly smell the rose and geranium. This is a blend that I would say taste exactly as it smells from the first light of the bowl to the bottom, something I haven’t been able to say yet with my experience dealing with aromatics. It is smooth and floral, but not over done. I love the tin note of Ennerdale flake, but I felt the flavor of it never fully lived up to its tin note, this didn’t disappoint though. My only advice is it give it some time to dry before smoking, the flakes I received were very moist. All in all this was a very pleasant tobacco....Read More
Good tobacco but not for me

Quality tobacco but did nothing for me. Some other reviewers have compared this to the Kendall flake which is nothing like. Good components quality tobacco, not a repeat buy for me
