Lakeland Dark Flake

Lakeland Dark Flake is a flake tobacco obtained at Samuel Gawith's production in Kendal, England, by pressing and slicing dark-colored Virginia leaves. "Lakeland" in the name references both the firm's location in the Lake District and the region's tradition of adding a floral essence — a tradition considered a distinct branch within English tobacco production.

The slices are dark, oily, and dense in structure; since moisture is high, airing before lighting is needed. Its taste carries Virginia's bready sweetness together with the essence's soapy floral note, and nicotine is above medium. A record for those wanting to get to know the classic Lakeland style and accustomed to smoking dark flake.
