Grousemoor is still one that I have yet to get my hands on to try. I'm sure I'd love it though!

Don’t want to hijack the thread ….. I was wondering how much the GL Pease blend “Stonehenge” compares with its essence. Seems to be fairly popular.

Those who like it really love it. Those who don't, can't stand it. I'm part of those who really love it, from the first pipeful I've had 10 years ago. I'm glad I stashed up. Not enough to my liking, but still, it could have been much worse.

I would like to learn more about the history of pipe tobacco manufacturing in Great Britain. The marketing language of Gawith products often mentions they are made for those with an appreciation for the flavors of 'traditional British tobaccos.' It is said that GH have been using the same equipment, techniques and flavorings for the past couple hundred years, and those flavorings are natural essences, extracts, and oils from plants and seeds, most (if not all) of which are also associated with apothecary and personal hygiene products popular in Georgian and Victorian times. I wonder how much interplay there was between the two industries, if they competed for resources or developed any synergies. I wonder how many other manufacturers made similar products to those which we now call Lakelands. There are vestiges still of fruity/flowery offerings from other houses (St. Bruno, Erinmore, Hyde Park, etc.), but what else was available in Britain back in the day? How many other blends (or perhaps even entire styles!) have been lost to the passage of time?
