Are Lakelands as soapy as Mixture No. 79?
Lakeland is the original soapy tasting tobacco topping. Try the horror known as 'Ennerdale' if you want to experience a LD50 dose.

From what every old timer says, you can't go wrong with Virginias. Seems every 'vintage' pipesmoker ends up with a healthy appetite for Virginia tobacco. I'm not there yet; the biggest thing I enjoy about pipe tobacco is the almost limitless variety. Burleys? Yeah, IMO burleys kinda suck but there are times when a burley sure sounds good. In those moments - which are somewhat rare - I'll usually reach for Prince Albert or PS 41 Cube Cut.
