Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Glengarry Flake
(3.07)
A similar blend of pure Virginia leaf as Bright CR Flake, but with the addition of some special Virginia casings to enhance the natural sweetness of the leaf, finished off with a light top flavour of honey dew and other sweet flavourings which all combine after pressing to provide a mild sweet gently aromatic smoke.

By far the worst of the GHC offerings.
Don't get me wrong, I love lakelands, but this stuff is undoubtedly the worst of its kind.
The flavouring is rather flat and does not manage to introduce any real depth to the experience. Instead it offers a range of unusual headaches (nothing to do with the nicotine content) and a struggle, as you try and avoid getting bitten. All this didn't manage to relax me and if a tobacco cannot do that well, it's a complete failure.
For the life of me I cannot understand why Glengarry is so popular.

I am either becoming more tolerant of the soap flavoring, or this blend isn?t as heavily loaded with it. Make no mistake, it is there, but I found that it tended to fade quickly from the initial onslaught.
Once the flavoring receded the underlying leaf began to assert itself a bit more. It never got very strong, and at times the soap flavoring wafted back in to remind you that this is a G&H flake. The honeydew flavoring never showed itself.
The last third of the bowl seems to be trying to gather some strength, it just never quite makes it.
Though the tobacco tried to make a comeback toward the end, I didn?t feel that the effort justified going through the first two thirds of the bowl. It doesn?t readily bite, and smokes dry and clean.
