May 04, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
Perfect mix of Burley, Virginia and Dark Fired Kentucky with subtle Lakeland aroma makes this tobacco one of my favorites. It is flavorful and a joy to smoke. For people who said it is bland in the reviews, the trick to maximize its flavor is to m... Read More

This historic company over the centuries knows how to do it and make it right, thee best of the English Aromatic Class. Like 20 year old fine scotch it's an acquired taste but once you've acquired that taste there is nothing absolutely nothing finer.... Read More

I'm a fan of just about all the tobaccos I've tried from GH. As always, I love their flake presentation and love thier tobaccos. I've ordered Brown Flake, Scented more than once and have enjoyed it every time that I have smoked it. The Lakeland treat... Read More
ment is not overdone, it's quality tobacco, and there's not a whole lot of other tobaccos that i like better. If you're put off by all Lakeland essence tobacco, then don't try it. But, if you're curious about Lakelands, this would be a very good one to start with, along with #7 Broken Flake. It's not over the top, like Ennerdale, but it's a really good flake tobacco with a little flavor that you probably aren't used to. I have a few pipes dedicated to Lakelands and I advise others to do the same, if you plan on smoking them. Anyway, love it or hate it it, it is what it is. Read Less

Great Lakeland bag note, smokes as flavorless as OGS, Sixpence to me.
I know it's there

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
This is a fine tobacco and I really enjoy the tonquin and licorice. It's great as is, but I'm sure that after a bit of aging it becomes an unbelievable smoke. I can taste it- I know it's there.
Great in small doses

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
As in the title, this stuff is great in small doses. I preferred it rubbed out thoroughly and loosely packed as I found you get much more flavour out of it that way. Actually, if done that way it tastes almost like it smells which is surprising. This... Read More
tobacco goes great mixed with a virginia base. I rubbed out some Luxury Twist flake - about 1 part Luxury Twist with 1/3 - 1/2 of this stuff. Let it dry for about 15mins and pack it loose. Smoke it relatively slowly and you'll see what I mean - turns out great. Read Less

ild to medium. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Tonquin Bean, Vanilla and Fig. the tonquin/lakeland and vanilla move and remain in the background after initial light. The fig is sporadic.

ttle sticky, some drying out may be needed. Burns slow with relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild-medium. Flavoring is extremely mild. Taste is medium and consistent beginning to end, with notes of ripe fruit, sweet grass, toasted nuts, earth, floral, and a hint of spice. Virginias is driving with burley riding shotgun and the flavoring is napping in the back. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste was great. Read Less

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
I was skeptical of lakeland blends for the longest time due to their reputation, boy was I wrong! This is fantastic stuff! Not the goopy type of aro like a lot of other brands. Not a sopping mess that won't dry out. In fact it came almost at the perf... Read More
ect smoking moisture, just a small amount of drying needed. Lights well and stays lit. The topping doesn't overwhelm the tobacco. I have tried this and Ennerdale and find this more to my liking as it's topping is isn't as strong as Ennerdale. Good stuff! Read Less

Love the flowery, sweat taste. Brown flake is good Va and burley. Not as strong as its dark cousin.
What A Surprise
February 26, 2022
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
Surprisingly, this was tasty in a way never before experienced by me. It certainly wasn't Lakeland in the traditional sense, meaning it wasn't perfumy nor over-the-top floral. It was more incense-like and quite enjoyable. Very hard to categorize for ... Read More
me in this regard. I couldn’t detect the tonquin, however, it had a persistent sweetness which was from time to time reminiscent of vanilla; but I feel it was more of the maple. I think the licorice in this is what I would associate with myrrh, since the taste of it while smoking is reminiscent of Sen Sen gum, which is licorice-based and has a similar taste. It smoked cool and considering the casings, there was no moisture buildup in the bowl or goop left over. The room note was excellent and the smoke only got better as it progressed to the where there was no tobacco left to smoke - plus great for DGT! A nice sweetness throughout and never cloying. Nothing remotely ashy about this one. If G&H had a flake named Irish Flake, to me, this would be it. Read Less
Sent the wrong tobacco

Ordered the dark scented which I prefer greatly.Was sent this instead.sent an email that wasn't answered.Maybe I should have called.
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
I was disappointed with this Tobacco. I found this lifeless, and no character. It was bland, and nothing stood out. This is not even in the same league as Best Brown Flake #2, or Glengarry Flake.
