[QUOTE="Roqsan, post: 126503, member: 1378"] I've tried so far: Bob's Choc, Best Brown, Rum Flake & Brown Unscented (along with lots of plugs and twists). For me the first three flakes all have a weird taste, which is presumably what some people are referring to as soap, but to me tastes more like germolene antiseptic cream (as someone else commented on tobacco reviews). I reckon that this strange taste is largely what has lead people to refer to a lakeland essence. My guess, though, is that the taste is actually something to do with the curing process of one of the tobaccos that G&H use in these blends and I can't detect anything that would correspond to a lakeland essence in GH brown unscented or in the SG flakes I've tried. Would be interested in what everyone else thinks - Which other lakeland blends have this taste? What is the source of this strange taste? Incidentally, I seem to remember something of the same taste when I tried Walnut Flake way back when. [/QUOTE]
