Aged for taste
August 26, 2019
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
I opened a jar of Kendall Flake from 2005 this morning and loaded my pipe. There was much of a scent left on the leaf but dark aged tobacco aroma. The moisture level was excellent. I rubbed out a bowl full, loaded, and lit. The first few minutes ... Read More
were chaotic before the flavor settled. There wasn't as much topping flavor as fresh, but the natural sweetness of the Virginias had really increased. Once I was into 2/3 of the bowl it was smooth and sweet. Not the slightest bite no matter how hard the puffs. The smoke was creamy and full. I don't think anymore time would make any more changes to the leaf. I'd say it at the tipping point for the tobacco and needs to be smoked to get the full enjoyment. The Ennerdale I have of the same age still has the aroma of the topping. Read Less
Fine Flake Tobacco

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
My 500g box came to me with the most beautiful plume, to hold a flake in your hands and know that it was exactly the same a century ago as it is now is really something! The smoke it produced is aw inspiring, not as strong as brown flake scented, Lak... Read More
eland is there but more in the background, there is a lot of different flavors working together to make this one an aw inspiring smoke. I cut it with sharp scissors into .25 inch pieces I smoked it steady for 30 min. before relighting. In my mind this is a classic English Lakeland flake that I would highly recommend, Nic -Hit medium, nice room note. A true English Classic! Also thanks Kaz W. for recommending it to me. I like to smoke this one in the afternoon or evening. Read Less
Superb Lakeland
July 15, 2020
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
I love GH flakes. Especially those which are in bulk. They're thick, beautiful, and rich and they have a very nice mouth-feel when smoked. This may be my favorite tobacco of those I've sampled from GH. The flavors/scents are not overpowering, but def... Read More
initely present and are an excellent complement to the tobaccos. It's a mixture of some relatively strong tobaccos, but, to me, it never really overpowers in Vitamin N. This one, to my taste, seems to have more of the floral scents than the others and less of the vanilla/licorice/tonquin flavors of, say, Ennerdale(which I also like). Personally, I refer GH to SG when it comes to tobaccos. SG tobaccos always come too wet to smoke and they really have seemed to be mediocre experiences. But I digress.
I don't know if this could classify as an all-day tobacco, as it is definitely a bit over-the-top. However, I have to stop myself from smoking this instead of other blends that I have. An impressive flake tobacco, in my opinion. Read Less
Classic Dark Flake
August 20, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
A lovely dark flame. Classic Lakeland tobacco. Deep earthy tobacco with a very mild floral rose essence on the back end. Nice room note and one that those around you can enjoy. If you aren't a fan of dark fired leaf this one might be too much for you... Read More

不是我的菜，香味太浓了，甚至有点刺鼻。抽起来像有粉尘进到喉咙里。对，就像一口洗衣粉

一斗肯切来的恰如其分，饱满的胭脂气自始至终划过舌尖，是抹了糖的丝袜，口口丝滑。
玫瑰花的花瓣撒上天然的胡椒粉，是让你想要上前一探究竟，又怕承受不住这玫瑰花的狂野。
恋恋不舍的品味丝滑，不断带你滑向最深处，有甜又有辣，花香齿间留。
Backseat Lakeland
May 05, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
A firm-flavored Va/Bur with Lakeland essence as a secondary detail. Sharp Virginia paired with a smooth, creamy Burley. Lakeland tastes are lighter than expected, but present. A great blend if Ennerdale is too much for your palate.
Very good

At first I hated this. Tin note smells like soap - I kept coming back to see if missing something, and it’s pretty good. I’m not entirely sure what the aromatic is supposed to be but it’s fine smoke.

A Lovely Flake

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
I think DK said it perfectly so I don't have much to say that he didn't already touch on, I just came to express my love. This one took a long time to work it's magic on me but I'm glad that I didn't give up on it. The flavors added read a lot like a... Read More
n Eau De Toilet and shouldn't work on a pipe tobacco but it absolutely does. This is a refreshing smoke and would probably work better in the warmer months but I have no problem smoking it year round. The top dressing adds a high range of notes that dance with the lower notes to give the smoker an amazing range of flavors to focus on and this one surely demands your focus. Could be an all day smoke for sure but I'm one that needs variety throughout the day.

Really nice lakeland flake. Not as strong or sharp as the Scented Dark Flake; has much rounder, softer flavours with an almost anesthetic quality. Finish is sweet and toasty. Burns very well. Prefer this over a few others (Scented Dark Flake, Grasmer... Read More

good flake
March 03, 2023
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
I finally got some of this tobacco and I was ready for a strong blend with a possible “floral” topping.
As a first sample, I did not expect what I found.
There was a “scent” when opening but it was mild. Flake is easy to fold and stuff or fold and ro... Read More
ll for a good burning bowl. Some relights at first but settles in well once fully lit.
Flavor is dark and meaty with the topping smoothing any sharp edges while not changing the flavor much. Sort of a floral lift that cleans the palate at the end of a draw.
My order was for bulk and I wonder if that tamed the topping more.
Overall, the flake reminds me of a couple of other blends and is a good example of this style of flake with a welcome smoothness.
Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers ready to try something substantial and tasty. Read Less
Sweet, earthy
January 21, 2023
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
This is good, but I probably won't get more. Mine was from bulk, so maybe it would have been different if tinned. I found it mainly earthy and sweet, hard to tell whether those impressions are from the tobacco or casings or both. A little floral. B... Read More
etter in a clay than a cob, I found. Nothing bad about it, but I much prefer Ennerdale or Conniston if I'm in the mood for a Lakeland, or Capstan for a Virginia. Didn't find any of the almond described in other reviews- maybe slightly marzipan? Read Less

Package note soap, spices and mildly sweet. Tobacco flakes are light and medium brown and fairly dense, cubes nicely and/or rubs out with a little effort. Tobacco is a little sticky, no drying out needed. Burns slow with relights. The strength is med... Read More
ium and nic is mild-med. Flavoring is medium and consistent throughout with notes of floral, sweet almond, light vanilla and a mild Lakeland. Taste is medium with notes of earth, mild sweet grass, floral and mildly spicy. Virginias leads with flavoring supporting and the Indian leaf in the background. Room note is nice, and aftertaste was great. Read Less

Essence of “head shop.”

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
Tastes just like smoking your local incense and tie dye store. You might like it.

Not bad, nothing to write home about either. Lots of Lakeland essence. Ernerdale is better.

I smoked about half of what I ordered and had to put it aside. It smoked very hot and harsh, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. The pouch note/Mason jar note is sweet and pleasant enough, but it doesn't seem to transfer well to any of my pipes. I'll... Read More

Quality leaf
February 19, 2016
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Flake Bulk
I love Gawith and Hoggarth tobacco, and know they put out quality products laced with deep tradition. This flake crumbles and well and doesn't feel too moist or dry. The tin aroma is enticing with Lakeland notes. Burn is superb; I didn't have to reli... Read More
ght it once. I always try to remove my expectation of a tobacco from my objective analysis, otherwise things get cloudy. While I had a different expectation for the flavour of this tobacco, it was nonetheless of good quality, and is one I would smoke again. I just find that in comparison to the other G&H tobaccos, the flavour of Kendal Flake is not as rich. I found it to be monotonous, but still an enjoyable flake to smoke. Read Less
