[QUOTE="DrT999, post: 449026, member: 1935"] Basically, this term refers to types of flavored tobaccos from Samuel Gawith and Gawith Hoggarth, both in Kendal, England (which is in the Lake District of the UK, hence 'Lakeland' blend). Samuel Gawith blends in this category (in my experience, but there are blends I haven't tried yet) tend to be herbal flavored to a degree -- tonquin (1792 Flake, Westmoreland Mixture, Kendal Cream Flake) or lemon grass (Grousemoor, the 'Special' Flakes) for examples, although some also remind me of spices (RB Plug for example). The Gawith Hoggarth Lakelands tend more towards floral and similar essences -- Grasmere is flavored with Rose & Geranium, Ennerdale, those florals and others but mainly Almond. To me, the order of strengthening flavors for G&H Lakelands would be Louisiana Flake (their VaPer); Glengarry Flake; Bob's Chocolate Flake (florals and chocolate aren't for everyone; for a straighter chocolate try their Scotch Flake Aromatic/Scented, which has more of a chocolate flavor than their blends with chocolate in the name); Brown Irish Sweet Chocolate Rose; Brown Flake Aromatic/Scented; Dark Plug Rose Geranium; Grasmere Flake; #7 Broken Flake; Bosun Cut Plug; Ennerdale; Coniston Cut Plug. GH Balkan Mixture & Flake have what to me comes across a slight pine/menthol taste, but I wouldn't call that a Lakeland. [/QUOTE]
