Park-Lane Tobacconist London Fog
(3.67)
We start with a smooth top grade English - rich in Virginia's and Orientals, and then change the character of the blend with the slight addition of an elusive Lake District condiment tobacco that adds it's unique flavor profile. Slightly "soapy" and aromatic, a different type of English tobacco that you will reach for time and time again!

This is a very nice English Blend composed of Latakia, Orientals and Virginia's with an added "secret" ingredient they call Lakeland Style. I have no idea of what the ingredient is as I don't taste it. I taste the sweetness of the VA tobacco along with the full bodied smoky taste of the Latakia. It is fairly heavy on the Latakia but it smokes very smooth and rich and is very satisfying. The cut is rather a rough cut with some ribbon, the pouch aroma is rather pungent and spicy and at a nice moisture content. It loads very well in the pipe and smokes all the way down to a light grey ash leaving just a little dottle and little moisture at the bottom of the pipe. I don't know what Oriental they are using as nothing jumps out at me but the overall blend I find I like a lot. It has very little if any tongue bite, smokes the same to the bottom without getting overwhelming. The room note is what you expect with Latakia in a blend. To me it smells great, to others they may not like it. For an English blend I really like this blend and it could very easily become a regular for me when I am smoking an English. I recommend this on highly!

Another in my Park Lane journey and yet another winner. This is a fine high quality english which stands on its own merit. Browns and blacks, virginias and latakia playing nicely in an easy cut. Add to this the Lakeland condiment and you have an English with a twist. I do taste the presence of a light top note but I am uncertain what it is. I have smoked several bowls of this and it burns clean and dry to the bottom of the bowl and leaves me looking forward to smoking it again.
A truly interesting approach to latakia and a nice change of pace!
