Bulk: A very long, stringy ribbon cut, with quite a sweet smell like syrup on toast, ranging from black-brown to light brown, mostly brown. Supplied only in bulk, it is fairly dry and leaves no residue on the fingers.
Lighting & Burning: Lights with one match all the way to the bottom of a bowl and burns quickly.
Taste & Aroma: If ever there was a Gawith blend that displays the signature Kendal scent, this is it. It is a potpourri of a flowery taste and aroma that is characteristic of the Lake District. There are hints of toasted syrup in the background. Imparts a disagreeable salsa feel to the tongue.
Nicotine: Medium to strong
Room Note: I like this type of mellow aroma left behind, like scented and toasted marshmellows.
Overall: For a definition of a scented Lake District blend, this is it. The toppings command all of the attention; it would be just as well if the Virginias were not even present. Concerning the Lake District scent, see some of the reviews of SG's Grousemoor and Sam's Flake.
GH's Scottish Mixture and SG's Scotch Cut Mixture and Best Brown are all likewise stated by the blenders as having no added flavor. GH's No. 20 Latakia Mixture is its cousin, No. 20 having Latakia added.
No. 5 is definitely a candidate for an indoor smoke, but not all day due to the swoon brought on by the nicotine. For the purist, the scent is a bit over the top, but there's nothing wrong with No. 5.
