Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Ennerdale Mixture

Ennerdale is one of the best-known examples of Kendal tradition (Lakeland) and is the crumbled, broken-flake presentation of the brand's flake-form Ennerdale product. African- and South American-origin Virginia leaf and Malawi Burley are selected for their sweetness and ability to absorb the topping; air-cured dark leaf cools the smoke and adds a woody, creamy texture. The topping side is a compound top sauce made of rum, vanilla, citrus, almond, and floral essences; because of this, the blend's aroma is strong and lingering. Since it clings noticeably to jar and pipe, smoking it in a dedicated pipe is common practice.
