I have probably destroyed my taste buds in regards to Lakeland at this point, but I don't detect any Lakeland essence from Dark Plug.

The lakeland style is flowery/perfume like, and it is very much a love or hate sort of thing. It's a pretty polarizing tobacco the same way Tabac's scent is a polarizing shave soap.
I like the scent of Tabac. Don't think I'd enjoy smoking it.
I'll try anything once though.

I couldn't get used to Tabac. Tried my my best but still have a 3/4 5 year old puck. Maybe the scent has died down?
I've seen others report that it does lose much of it's scent over time, so maybe it'll be ok for you now. lol I'm one of those that loves Tabac, but oddly I'm also one that loathes lakeland tobacco. Even the faintest hint of it and it makes me not want to smoke anything at all for the rest of the night, since I know from experience I'll have that aftertaste still mixed with anything else I try. *shrug*
If you do try something with lakeland happening, do it in a pipe you literally don't care if you throw it out... cause, from experience, you may have to. lolI like the scent of Tabac. Don't think I'd enjoy smoking it.

My personal opinion, after having both Ennerdale and Grousemoore was that it was like smoking something my grandmother had on her perfume stand for a few years that had evaporated and concentrated. Now, those are full out lakeland styles, not just a hint here or a taste there.
Lakeland is one of those "love it or hate it" things, bit one fact is indisputable - it will ghost the hell out of whatever you smoke it in. Highly recommend a cob for your first encounter...you can dedicate a briar later if you decide you like it.
I've ghosted a meer with Lakeland essence, just to give you an idea of its ghosting ability. That's with stuff like Ennerdale though. Dark Plug isn't really Lakeland-y.
Or a meer
The only reason I still have a cob is for the odd times I want some Grousenoor
I got an estate meer that had been ghosted by something awful once, probably a Lakeland. It took a looooong time to get rid of that ghost!
Pouch note smells amazing. Four ounces might not be enough.
