what is your latest pipe purchase

Good news; did you get it online or at a B/M? I like the Louisiana Perique myself.

I was in Charlottesville, VA today, and there's a tobacconist there that seems to have Penzance pretty regularly, which I understand is unusual.

Looking forward to trying the Louisiana - wx is supposed to warm up this weekend, maybe I'll bring some to the range with me (my local outdoor cigar lounge that allows the use of firearms )

Post what you think of the Louisiana flake. I got some a while back but IMO the Lakeland kinda ruins it. Hoping the perfume fades over time. Same deal with Rum flake.

Lakeland essence: the bane of good tobacco. Ranks right up here with PG soaked weed.

I loathe me some PG, but G&H is one of the most catering marquees in that respect, all quite devoid of humectants as far as I can detect. Luckily for me (and unlucky for you) I am fine with the lakeland thing. Cornell & Diehl is still my main stay for great leaf at almost half the price of G&H though.

BOOOOO BOOOOOOO I can't BOOOOOOOO this statement enough!

Just placed an order for some tins of Bengal Flake, SG's Cabbie's Mixture, and Lakeland Dark.

Tried some of the Louisiana this afternoon. Certainly a unique flavor - fruity/nutty, strong, a hint of cigarette tobacco flavor. Haven't decided if I like it or not yet - I was smoking outside in the wind, so that was distracting, and it had trouble staying lit. I dried it out, will try it again tomorrow.

I need to try some of that Lakeland. I'm skeered (afraid) to try it...

See now, that's just strange. Fruity nutty and all that. All I could taste was that rose-like Lakeland perfume covering everything else. And I've talked to others who don't even notice the Lakeland in it.

Sounds like you may be sensitive to that Lakeland essence. Possibly similar to how some people don't like cilantro; that it tastes soapy to them. Seems that perfumy Lakeland is like black licorice; either hate it or love it, not much in between.

Well I hate cilantro but I love black licorice . Never did like rose scent, I always thought it smelled like old ladies. Lakeland only tastes like soap to me when it's combined with latakia: isn't that strange? No latakia and it just tastes like perfume.

Had some more this p.m. after letting it dry out some. Not bad, still needed to be re-lit frequently. I didn't detect any kind of floral or perfume flavor. I'm not sure what the Lakeland taste is. Anyway, it was a strong perique, smooth, nutty, like a good VAPer I suppose.
