Gawith Hoggarth Bulk ENNERDALE FLAKE |
|
|
|
Our best selling flake by a wide margin. Predominately Virginia leaf from Brazil, Zimbabwe and Malawi (86%) but with the addition of sun cured Malawi (10%) to add sweetness, strength, and to cool the smoke and Malawi Burley (4%) to "carry the flavor".

Bulk, folded and stuffed in a contemporary (Duncan Briars) Ben Wade bulldog:
Charring light and first few puffs release the full strength of signature Lakeland essences (floral, perfumey, soap-like.) Initially it seems slightly sharp, like a "sassy" Va flake, but it settles down quickly and merely produces a warming sensation on the palate and sinuses -- bite free and a smooth, thick, chewy smoke. Excellent mouth feel.
The scents ease off quickly and a subdued but unmistakeable chocolate flavor steps forward to augment a very natural basic tobacco taste.
Excellent balance from the Va.'s and Burley while the ever present Lakeland scent merely decorates the whole experience.
Easily lit as a folded flake, and a slow burning smoke, so set aside some time before you fire-up a full bowl.
Recommended, and an excellent intro to Lakeland scents as well as folded flakes.
