[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 420187, member: 1365"] Keep yer knickers untwisted...destiny is a fickle thing. OK...granted I'm no expert, but here's the skinny as I understand it... A Lakeland blend is one that is manufactured in the Lakeland District of England. Use Google to define and get nice pictures. It's really just that simple...however...over the years smokers on both sides of the pond have started using the term Lakeland to stand for the the many moderate to strongly scented blends produced by both Samuel Gawith and Gawith & Hogarth. So blends like Dark Flake Scented, Glengarry Flake, 1792 Flake, Grasmere... Ennerdale... Kendal... yadda, yadda, yadda... are known as Lakeland blends. So most smokers out there have come to use the term Lakeland Blend to represent only those stinky and devine concoctions that we all either love or hate, or maybe a little of both. Then there are the things like the late great blend "Lakeland Brickle Fortissimo"... which is a USA blend that was sort of an homage to the above kind of stuff...touted as stinky and strong. Where does that leave the twists, pigtails, ropes, etc. made by the two companies mentioned above? Well, they're made in the Lakeland District...so they're Lakeland blends too. Easy. But some are very scented and some aren't. Whatever. Does that help? I think that's the straight story. [/QUOTE]
