Just Delicious

I picked up 500g boxes of both the brown aromatic and dark aromatic flakes from G&H. Had you asked me ahead of time which one I was likely to prefer I would have sworn the dark would have won out as I’m a far bigger fan of maple than of fig. While it turned out the dark was amazing, the brown however is superior. The room note is fantastic, but I expect that from aros. Smoking this is just wonderfully sweet and balanced. The virginia sweetness shines through, with subtle backing of the toppings enhancing the smoke for an almost desert like quality. Likely too sweet for an all day smoke, it’s just simply delicious and I find myself turning to it whenever I want a desert. Likely far healthier to smoke this than to actually eat something sweet. The sweetness is predominant, but not artificial in any way. It’s not gunky, just a wonderfully sweet virginia with mild flavoring. It’s not over the top in any way. This smoke is so delicious that the biggest issue I have is slowing down while smoking. This is something I would highly recommend you pick up and try. One reviewer described it as a superior tobacco with a robust sweetness and this description is very fitting. Unquestionable 5 of 5 stars on this one....Read More
Lush, rich sweetness to it after only two years of aging

Gawith, Hoggarth & Co’s Brown Flake Aromatic combines quality hot-pressed, dark-stoved Virginias with Burley varietals, flavored with licorice, fig, and tonka bean essence. For those who dislike goopy and artificial flavored tobacco, no need to worry, the aromatic side is not at all overly done, just a faint, pleasant and natural aftertaste, as the Lakeland essence. I also regularly smoke G&H Brown Flake Unscented and you can taste the same quality components and raw tobaccos. On the other hand, if you like full aromatics and don't like to taste the natural flavors of Va's and Burley's, this might not be your cup of tea....Read More
Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake aromatic

Don't know what's up with the rating button but I want to make it clear that this is a 5 star out of 5 star rating. I have a friend from the U.K. that told me that I would tier from the American everyday burley blends. I though he was wrong, and for years he was. But another friend that lives here in the states told me he was sending me some "tasty" virginia's and some other tid bits. He sent me some Samuel Gawith flakes and that was it, I was hooked. Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake aromatic is one of my favorite tobaccos. When I first bought it and opened the bag I thought I made a huge mistake. The stuff smelled exactly like the powder I use after showering. I mean it's the same smell! I thought to myself "this is going to be gross". I let it sit in the jar and smoked the Dark Flake Scented and loved that. After a few months in the jar I decided to pack a bowl. The flakes had tiny glistening diamonds all over them. Besides rum Flake Dark Flake Scented and Coniston Cut Plug, this stuff is by far my favorite Gawith Flake. Taste is amazing, the room note is fabulous, and it has a great nicotine content, perfect to be honest. If it wasn't so darn pricey I would buy 5lbs at a time. Kendal Flake was another favorite but I'm not too upset that KF was discontinued AS long as Brown Flake aromatic is still around....Read More

Very smooth, no bite! Delicious fig - honey flavor that's light and refreshing and allows you to still taste the tobacco's. I will purchase again - highly recommend it!

Absolutely love these flakes. Superb quality and presentation. This is my first taste of Lakeland, but I'm blown away. I've already purchased a second helping of brown flake scented. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to try a strong aromatic with herbal and floral topping.

This tastes more like a fine medium bodied cigar, notes of chocolate and earthy florals. I didn't detect that much Lakeland, more of a robust sweetness. buying more

Superior tobacco

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Aromatic Bulk
The title says it all: Superior Tobacco. There are so many great smokes in the GH line, it's really hard to pick one as the absolute best. Every time you're smoking a bowl, you think it's your favorite GH blend! That being said, brown flake aromatic must certainly be one of the best. It has body, enough strength to let you know you're smoking a great blend without being over the top, and the delicious toppings that make GH blends really shine. This is truly tasty and delicious tobacco, a superb smoking experience in my Peterson 05. Get you some!...Read More

Package note of lakeland, sugary fruit, and spices. Tobacco is a Flake of Yellowish brown, light brown and dark brown. Moisture content is great. Flakes rub out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Tonquin Bean, Vanilla and Fig. the tonquin/lakeland and vanilla move and remain in the background after initial light. The fig is sporadic. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of tonquin/lakeland, vanilla, tangy dark sugary fruit, savory, spices, floral, wood, peaty dry vegetation, molasses, nutty, bread, earth, sweet hay, citrus peel/zest, acidic, a lemon grass background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Dark Fired, Burley and Flavoring supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More
