[QUOTE="BriarBeagle, post: 555045, member: 4084"] I revisited GLP Stonehenge Flake again this year and was surprised to find my tastes had changed. I found it quite pleasing, despite my recollection of being put off by the Lakeland essence when I experienced the rerelease back in 2017. Perhaps the time in the tin helped as well. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered another 5 tins for the cellar. Another one that I got to this year and enjoyed is G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake. I had a tin from 2003 which I picked up from Pipestud and cracked after the blend had been the topic of conversation among a group of pipe smokers I chat with regularly. I found the topping to be a nice compliment to the tobacco, and the Lakeland essence was not overwhelming. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Finally, I am smitten with the new bulk offering from Erik Stokkebye: 4th Generation Evening Flake. It is not a "blow your hair back" type of blend, but I find it very pleasant, approachable, and consistent (though one-dimensional). It is a VA with a light touch of Perique, and I'm happy to find a bulk that I enjoy so much. I think it will also cellar nicely. Anyway...I picked up 4 lbs. so I should be good for a little while.
