Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Ennerdale Flake
(3.11)
Notes: 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 flavour" in addition to its cooling and strength qualities. (burley is very good at absorbing casings and flavours) A background flavour of almond is enhanced with the addition of fruit flavours, vanilla, and the special 'English type' flavours which give this tobacco its distinctive, yet typical 'English' Aroma associated with the UK best selling brands such as Condor, St Bruno and Mellow Virginia.

L'Ennerdale. Un tabacco misterioso e controverso. O lo ami o lo odi. Io lo adoro e quoto chi giustamente lo definisce un dono degli Dei. Uno dei pochi aromatici perfettamente bilanciati, un soapy meditativo ed elegante, certo non da tutti i giorni. Merita tutti i soldi che costa.

Ok, either you like the tonquin/rose/floral topping or you don't ....there doesn't seem to be a middle ground. I love this stuff. It is a strong Lakeland flake, but it rubs out well and smokes beautifully....if you rub it out and let it air for 15 minutes or so. Also, like another reviewer said.....this will ghost the hell out of a pipe, so if you are trying it, buy a cheap cob before using one of your briars on this.

Only been smookin a year or theer abarts, Ennerdale is my number one choice, morning noon or neet, BUT I cannot get hold of a tin, empty or full, I am willing to pay potsage etc. So if any of you have an unwanted or unliked, or any information leading to me obtaining a tin I would be ever-so grateful.

I adore this blend's perfume. It's something I imagine the lovely; vivacious English actress Susan Hampshire might have worn when she was younger.
The downside is that upon first lighting, this tobacco has a distinctly peppery bitter taste that you have to endure before a nuttier, sweeter, more balanced tobacco flavor asserts itself. I suppose that's the "soap" burning off.
The bitterness never entirely goes away and at times can impart an ashy taste. I'd say it comes and goes almost as if it depends on the brain offering different interpretations of a hard-to-pin-down taste. The room note is not quite so perfumy. It's a distinctly English scent of leathery tobacco and flowers. The blend burns well, does not bite and has a moderate nicotine kick, less than that of Kendal Flake, another GH tobacco I've smoked.
There was a time when I would have given Ennerdale four stars, but I find I'm less tolerant of the bitterness that comes with the perfume than I used to be.
UPDATE Rubbing out the flake and packing lightly eliminated the bitterness that kept me from giving this tobacco four stars. I'm upgrading my recommendation accordingly. When packed lightly, the tobacco burns nicely down to a fine, light ash and the topping becomes delicate instead of overpowering and the bitterness vanishes.
