GL Pease Stonehenge Flake

Great blend, medium nicotine, not quite an all day smoke. Light lakeland scent transferring to the smoke itself, so if you don’t like it, don’t try it. Myself I love it, smoke every day, any time around noon and later. A thick smoke with plenty of body. Reminds me of St. Bruno flake

It took a couple of bowls to learn the flavor, a raisin or fig liquor, and it dried a bit too; turned out to be a great smoke. Very subtle very pleasant. Will buy again.

One of the best ever.

This has a very similar topping to Sam Gawaith's Grousemoor. i don't taste the cocoa flavor referenced in other reviews. i would probably prefer a bit less burley, it has an astringent-like quality; still, i plan on purchasing it again.

I really enjoy this blend, it reminds me of SG hansom flake.

I am normally a straight Virginia smoker, w occasional forays into English and Balkan blends. This flake.is just amazingly tasty. It is my new go to. There is not a discernable (to my pallet) top note, but the blend comes across as a bit chocolatey. This is an everyday smoker.

Nice blend,

Great Flavor, Good Aroma and a blend that cannot be improved on

One of the best tobaccos I've ever tried relaxing flavorful everything i want in a pipe tobacco

Described as having Lakeland essence, I thought I'd give it a try. Never had one before. Definitely not in my wheelhouse. If you're into Lakeland, this is probably on the subdued side, but still not what I enjoy. My wife hated the room note as well.

Amazing

This is a good solid, and high quality vaper flake. As to Lakeland essence--not there. I am getting really tired of blends making reference to Lakeland flavorings, then not delivering at all. I did not need three tins of another also ran virginia flake.

Great tin from GL Pease! Should be more superb with age as well!!

Amazing stuff here. Tin aroma is cocoa, the taste is very close to Enerdale, only softer. You can taste the Virginias, however, the perique is too well hidden for my taste. This one does come wet, but not so much so that you're forced to watch it age just to get a good smoke. I alternate my prep method with flakes, and I find this one likes to be rubbed out. But that's all it took. It's phenomenal in a briar but absolutely shines in a meer. Burns cool. Flavorful down to the bottom of the bowl. I enjoy it any time of the day and would consider it an all day smoke. As usual, P&C is always on time and the service is second to none.

Great smoke, a little damp in the tin, but overall very pleasant. I still have yet to figure out where the Soap taste seems to come from. It has a very floral note, with bits of anise and what I call "botanicals" (it reminds me of walking through the botanical gardens at Garfield Park on a muggy day), but not soap. Either way, one I would recommend.

Absolutely love this blend. The Virginias are not like the grassy, sweet Virginias we are used to in the US. These are more similar to the African Virginias, more bready, hearty. The Perique is also not of the spicy nature that most are used to. A more fruity, figgy like flavor comes from these. Since this is processed over in G&H, you get some Lakeland style floral essance, which is quite nice. Overall, this is a wonderful blend that bounces around flavors and keeps the pallet busy and occupied.

First, I loved it. Second, this is not a not a crowd pleaser. If you don't like the Lakeland essence, then you ought to stay away. It doesn't matter how sophisticated and experienced you are, it truly is an acquired taste. I don't get soap or perfume. I get Almond, Rose, Lavender, Maple, Cardamon and whatever else my brain might be perceiving based on the mysterious descriptions. Most importantly, I get some great tangy Virginias and some earthy burleys. For me, it's classic, exquisite and somewhat quixotic. If you imagine soap and perfume while you smoke it, then it's about 95% certain that you'll taste that. That's how the brain works. Approach this one opened minded.

Ignore the bad reviews. This is a great Lakeland tobacco. This is advertised as such. You can't fault it for being a Lakeland. If I didn't care for wine or had never even tasted wine, I wouldn't think my review of a fine wine would be very helpful to anyone. This is an earthy, nutty flake with some truly great Virginias. The Perique is just right and the Lakeland essence is not overdone -- just a nice dose of cocoa with subtle floral notes.

I knew about Lakeland Essences, but I wasn't prepared for a "we're gonna wash your mouth out with soap and then spray cheap perfume in it" experience. Wow! Aghhh!! I enjoy Royal Yatch, HH Vintage Syrian, JackKnife Plug, Gaslight, Nightcap, Viprati, HH Bold Kentucky, Escudo....all part of a wide variety of Vapers, VaBurPers, Straight Virginias, English/Balkans, Dark Fired KYs on my shelf and in my cellar - nothing in my worst imaginings prepared me for how truly unappealing (read awful) a pipe tobacco could be. I'm about to reload the Vauen Churchwarden in which I smoked the GLP Stonehenge Flake with my favorite VaPer - H & H Viprati - in hopes of disinfecting my mouth and pipe, recovering my pipe equilibrium,and wiping out any possible ghosting. Fortunately, it only took 15 minutes to be totally turned off to Stonehenge.

good shipment

I have not tried the product yet....

A bit to floral for me, but will try it a few more times in case I'm missing something.

When I read the description, I knew I had to buy, not one tin, but two, because I just knew I would regret it not doing so...Well, it turns out I actually regret buying any. When I opened the tin took a sniff, I thought I hit a home run. It rubs out easily and packs without much fuss. Nice nicotine kick and slow burning, albeit slow to light. Unfortunetly, the flavor is aweful. I don't know if I received a stale tin or if it's supposed to taste like a dryer sheet, but I want to beleive this isn't a good representation of the blend. Thoroughly disappointed.

Bought a couple of tins two weeks ago. Read about it on the PC website. I was intrigued by the process that created this blend. What could it hurt to try it. I've never smoked flake before so this was a new experience for me. Just cut it into strips and loaded up old reliable. Had a few bowls over a couple of days. I realized that I hadn't smoked any other. I was first impressed with the smoothness. Then the flavor hit me. Rich but so mellow. A regular cacauphony of flavors. I got online and ordered five more tins. Not risking back order or worse, off the market again.

I love GL Pease. Everything I've smoked from this line is amazing. Stonehenge? Not so much. I was warned about lakeland essence. I honestly didn't think it would be so bad. Boy, was I wrong. One if the worst bowls I've ever smoked. Im not entirely confident that I'll be able to finish the tin. Two things I do know...1) I'll never buy another tin of Stonehenge. 2) I don't particularly care for "old lady purse" tasting tobacco. Smoke at your own risk.

If you enjoy that soapy, perfume or floral taste then this is for you. That unique top note they refer to should read "Lakeland" essence. Reminds me of some famous Sam Gawith blends. This tobacco is blended perfectly to balance great virginias similar to Full Virginia Flake. I enjoyed that part but personally was annoyed at the bar of soap flavor competing. I love the tin art but this blend is not for me. Disappointed.
