[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 406902, member: 1422"] Yeah some of the floral lakelands are on the list for my next order. If you don't like them, avoid the scented stuff by Gawith, Hoggarth, and Company (maybe a S Gawith blend or two as well). They use all sorts of floral and herbal toppings that aren't for everyone. Rose geranium, juniper, lavender, clove, honeydew, licorice, etc. sometimes in addition to the flavors more usual in American aromatics: vanilla, chocolate, rum, etc. GH&Co. also offer two versions of many of their blends: Scented and Unscented. These aromatics don't use cheap or bland tobacco as a blank canvas for the toppings, but instead use tobaccos that are good enough to stand on their own. You may enjoy some of these. However, some reviewers claim that there's a little bit of so-called "lakeland essence" that gets in all their blends. Whether that is the case or they have a house flavor like the McClelland Ketchup thing, you may find you do or don't like it. All this to say that just because you don't like the heavily scented blends, doesn't mean you won't like some of the more natural GH&Co blends. [/QUOTE]
