Quick Overview

If you smoke American & Danish aromatics and want to step up to the plate and try your hand at a full-flavored British aromatic then look no further than Ennerdale Flake, which in my view is the epitome of such a blend. If you have heard about the Lakeland scent but, never experienced this is what it is all about. Ennerdale Flake is a powerhouse of scent & flavor.

The initial tin note is so fragrant your eyes will water, yet it’s very pleasant. There is a lot going on here. The first thing that hits you is the old lady perfumed floral soap scent. Think of the small molded flower shaped soap Grandma used to have in the bathroom for decoration. Under that is the sweet Tonkin aroma. The more you smell Ennerdale it the more you like it and get more excited about lighting up. But wait there is more. What comes next is an almond spicy note together with an earl grey aroma and a ever so slight alcohol twang. The topping is so powerful that you cannot detect any of the tobacco scent. But that changes in the smoke.

First I rubbed out all the flakes and jarred them up. The flakes were quite moist when I received them and if you do not allow for a proper drying time it can get bitey but, if dried properly it’s just fine. The topping definitely translates into the smoke and is carried well by the Virginia-Burly base which nicely complements the flavors of the topping. While some people might be put off by the initial tin note, I suggest you give it a try. Ennerdale is like a strange delicacy. Off-putting on first sniff. But, you’re an adventurous person and willing to try a small bit first and see how it goes. Maybe you won’t like it the first time around as it is just to foreign to your taste buds. But, that intriguing aroma keeps calling you back to try it again. Eventually it grows on you and the more you smoke it the more you like and crave it. The aftertaste is very nice the room note is nice as well. Ennerdale it’s very different and very good. Tip-Top in my book. I do suggest smoking this one in a dedicated aromatic pipe.

Ennerdale is easily Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s most popular flake tobacco. It's predominantly Virginias, from a number of grades and locales, to which some Burley is added. What makes Ennerdale stand out is the fragrant Lakeland topping that brings images of a number of traditional British flakes to mind.

Gawith, Hoggarth & Co's Ennerdale Flake is 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 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.
