Description

Gawith Hoggarth Ennerdale Flake pipe tobacco masterfully blends premium Virginias from Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Malawi (86%), augmented by sun-cured Malawi leaf (10%) and nutty Burley (4%), pressed into mottled broken flakes and lightly topped with a quintessentially Lakeland essence of almond, ripe fruit, vanilla, rose geranium, citrus peel, and warming spice. This medium-strength classic unfolds with creamy, cool puffs revealing grassy Virginia brightness, subtle Burley earthiness, and sweet almond pastry notes, laced with floral bergamot and zesty orange. Progressing seamlessly, midnotes bloom into vanilla custard and candied fruit, yielding to a spicy, fermented tobacco finale with lingering rose otto elegance. Effortlessly rubbed out or folded, it delivers an impeccably even burn, copious smoke volume, minimal moisture, fine white ash, and a captivating room note reminiscent of cherished English flakes like St Bruno. A Lake District gem, Ennerdale Flake captivates seasoned pipers with its profound complexity, serene disposition, and timeless aromatic allure for contemplative afternoons.
