Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Ennerdale Mixture
(3.54)
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 add body and to "carry the flavor" in addition to its cooling and strength qualities.
A background flavor of almond is enhanced with the addition of fruit, vanilla, and the special 'Lakeland style' flavors to give this tobacco its distinctive aroma and taste.

A strong Virginia and burly blend with a floral perfume topping. It’s kind of like a block mason wearing a muumuu. I think I like it (the tobacco, not the guy in the muumuu, not that there’s anything wrong with that).
After 10 years of pipe smoking, I finally decided to try a blend with a Lakeland topping. I was always scared off by the “old lady” aroma descriptions, but you have to try new things once in awhile (again, I’m talking about the tobacco, not the guy...).
The tobaccos are very rich, and the topping lightens up what would otherwise be a heavy blend. There is plenty of nicotine, but I can easily finish a bowl without the hiccups (niccups?). This would never be a daily smoke for me, but it’s a welcome change of pace.

This tflake tobacco is a different experience.when you crack the tin a really strong almond flavour comes out.after rubbing it out you should leave this to dry out a bit.it lights nice burns good without burning the pipe as most aromatics.it has nutty flavour but the topping dominates everything.my advise is to go slow relax and enjoy.it is a mdium nicotine with very strong aroma so if you are not in strong aroma blends don't buy it.leaves proper moist at the end of the bowl .not a blend to start your day.better smoke it late at the afternoon it might get you dizzy at the morning hours.

This one is good. opening the tin, a perfume shop inside a flower garden greeted me. Flower, sweet fruits (did I smell grape juice???), The broken flakes look yummy, deliciously light brown.
I was surprised, that the baccy is not that wet, considering its a Gawith. Could not wait with the drying, I stuffed my pipe. Charred easily. Fully burning on my second light.
Sweet smoke filled the room and my senses. The aroma now changes from a floral to a marzipan cake. The almond, that was hiding in the tin, now is present. For me, the nutty burly was more obvious, then the Virginia and it wonderfully combined with the light vanilla and almond aroma.
Wont bite and gives a cool smoke, just don't push it, or else it will retaliate with hot hot smoke. Burns evenly and leaves some moisture in the pipe, when smoked wet.
Keep a pipe cleaner ready if you are not using a filtered pipe. It comes handy when moisture builds up. If you don't rush and relax, it awards you with a pleasant and unique smoking experience.
UPDATE: I smoked this in my clay churchwarden yesterday. It enhanced the flavor even more.

Dryed it out on a hot day. Thought I'd done enough. Still burnt wet with several relights. However, it is good tobacco, mild, not harsh. I like inhaling at the start of a bowl and here there is no strong nic hit, so you can walk about, do manual tasks, no worries. The flavour is delightful, a mixture of delicate florals and fruit. I have put it back in the jar for further drying and expect an improved burn.
