[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 219200, member: 1365"] Well...here we go. OK, my understanding is that Lakeland refers to the style of blend made famous by the Gawiths in the Lakes District, to the Northwest of London. There are any number of recipes used for the scents that characterize a Lakeland blend. One of them is what I think of as 'creosote bubble gum'...in 1792, and others. I think there are other blends that use it, plus, other scents...more or less. Many of the scents, like McClelland's VA BBQ sauce aroma, kind of goes away after a puff or two...many of the scents linger longer, some last all the way through the smoke. Strong scent does not equal strong tobacco...but it might. The thing is between the two sides of the Gawith clan they have...what? Maybe a hundred blends! Ya need a damn flowchart to figure it all out. Like there's a plug with a certain name...then the flake version of that plug (like1792)...then a broken flake or somewhat rubbed out version...then a shag cut. But there's also a flake that's like '1792 Lite' or something...little different recipe...a little less aroma. And so it goes. Someone really needs to make the flowchart or like a family tree diagram .(can't believe one doesn't exist out there already) to help us normal (well OK...semi-normal) humans figure it all out.
